  Tacoma's Cobblestone Dilemma | Tacoma News

  Aug 18, 20262 min

  Tacoma’s historic cobblestone streets—laid before 1910 when cars were rare—are a charming but costly headache. Replacing five-and-a-half miles would run $20–$35 million, since asphalt won’t stick and full rebuilds cost $500–$1,000 per square yard. While some love the slow, old-world vibe, others crave smooth pavement. With tight budgets, the city must choose: preserve history or invest in cheaper, long-term maintenance. These bumpy lanes remain a unique part of Tacoma’s identity—and a symbol of the tough trade-offs cities face. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

  The job market bounced back in Q2 2026, but AI is rewriting the rules—favoring seasoned pros who can wield tech as a tool, not a replacement.

  Fire, Madness, and a Dead Body | Tacoma News

  Aug 17, 20261 min

  A house fire erupted Tuesday afternoon in Spanaway after 28-year-old Aldo Guzman-Gamboa allegedly lit it while his mother was still inside — the same home where a man was shot dead just days earlier. His mother called 911 after spotting flames on his bed, claiming he was just taking meds, but soon saw the back of the house ablaze. Guzman-Gamboa, who suffers from schizophrenia and paranoia, was arrested later that day. He told officers he didn’t know how the fire started — even blaming his mother for throwing gasoline around — but investigators found gas cans and a lighter near burnt grass. The blaze destroyed the back and garage, leaving the home uninhabitable. He’s being held without bail pending a mental competency evaluation in August. No arrests have been made in connection with the earlier homicide, where both Guzman-Gamboa and his mother were present.
