A comeback is underway for the Whitman County Sheriff's Posse, with three new officers elected and a sharp rise in membership, after it dropped to five people in 2017.

Seven-year co-captains Barb Kinzer and Kristin Scholz stepped down last fall, along with 10-year secretary/treasurer Anna Boyd. New co-captains sworn-in Jan. 9 are Jim Pelissier of Endicott, and Gina Wilson of Pullman. New secretary/treasurer is Wraylee Flodin.
