If you're heading out Tuesday, pack the rain jacket. After a weekend storm knocked out power for thousands, heavier showers return Tuesday morning between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and last through the day. Tacoma could see close to three-quarters of an inch, according to National Weather Service forecasts.

  • Tuesday rain: half an inch to an inch from Tacoma to Bellingham
  • Wind gusts: close to 30 mph across the region
  • Most rain: up to 4 inches in the Cascades, Olympics and coast

Conditions should dry out in the second half of the week. The News Tribune says a record is adding extra moisture to the storms that do form.

Has anyone met that amazing older woman who works at the registers at walmart?

“Shes in her 80's I believe. She is so funny and kind. Breaks my heart seeing her work 9 hour days back to back. Every time I'm there I check out with her and most of the time people are being rude to her and short. I could sit there for days listening to her stories of her and her boyfriend who's from Texas. Oh, he…”
