Chlorine drained from swimming pools and hot tubs can have adverse effects of water quality and aquatic life. Discharging swimming pools to storm sewers and streams is prohibited unless dechlorinated first. Dechlorinate naturally by allowing water to sit in the sun for several days without adding chlorine. Make sure to use a test kit to check chlorine level before draining must be under 1 part per million (ppm).

Due to the weather, the Rotary Club has made the difficult decision to cancel Rotary Trail Day 2026 rather than risk the health and safety of our attendees and volunteers.
At this time, the Rotary Club has decided not to reschedule the event this year. Instead, Rotary Trail Day will be postponed until 2027.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding and look forward to seeing you back on the trails next year! 🌿
🏈🔥 FRIDAY NIGHT, THE RIVALRY IS BACK, AND WASHMO IS READY! 🔥🏈
After nearly 20 years, Washington High School and St. Francis Borgia High School are finally meeting on the football field again! It’s going to be a special night featuring student-athletes and cheerleaders from both schools, along with the Washington High School Band, as our community comes together for this long-awaited matchup.
We’re expecting a big crowd, so plan ahead:
• Arrive early: There will be no access to the stadium during the school day to reserve seats.
• Expect increased traffic and pedestrians around WHS
• Parking is only allowed in marked spots. No parking in the grass or along Highway 47.
• Keep sidewalks, driveways, intersections, and emergency access areas clear.
• Be respectful and practice good sportsmanship. At the end of the night, remember, it’s just a game.
CONTACTS:
📌 On-campus rules & restrictions: WHS Activities Director
📌 Public safety: WHS SRO Greg Garrett & Borgia SRO Wyatt Loague
These students have put in countless hours of hard work, dedication, and preparation to compete, cheer, and perform for their community on this special night.
Let’s pack the stands, bring the energy, and give these students the support, respect, and sportsmanship they deserve. Make this a night they’ll remember for all the right reasons.
🏈🔥 LET’S GO, WASHMO! 🔥🏈

The booklet will help shoppers map out their weekend by listing participating garage sales and what each sale will have available.

⭐ Any specific items you want highlighted
⏰ Your sale hours
Remember, you must be located within Washington city limits to be included. (If you pay the City for your water, you are considered to be in city limits.)

Enjoy the holiday weekend—but never drive impaired.
The quickest way to turn a great weekend into a bad one? Getting behind the wheel impaired.
Impairment isn’t just from alcohol. Marijuana, illegal drugs, and medications can affect reaction time, judgment, and vehicle control. Mixing substances only increases the risk.
Make a plan before you celebrate. Designate a sober driver. Use a rideshare. Find a safe way home. If you’re impaired, don’t drive. One bad decision can change your life—or someone else’s—forever.
Celebrate responsibly. Look out for one another. Get home safely.
