Ten mile was well represented at the State Grange Convention in Skagit Fairgrounds this last week. Besides winning ribbons in the baking and arts & crafts contests, Gary and Pete were presented with Quilts of Valor. Congratulations to everyone! (I also included a photo of Oren receiving his QOV in 2024 at the Colville Convention)

On behalf of Ten Mile Grange, we offer our sincere condolences and prayers to the Holmquist family.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic passing of Mark Holmquist, who was taken from us far too soon in a hit-and-run accident yesterday morning.

Mark was an integral part of Holmquist Farm and Holmquist Hazelnut Orchards, dedicating many years to helping farm the land and continuously supporting the family business with hard work, care, and pride. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather, devoted son, caring brother, and loyal friend whose kindness and smile touched so many lives.

On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the love, support, and kind thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. Please keep our family in your hearts as we mourn the loss of my brother, Mark. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Today was a great day for our annual Ten Mile Grange yard clean-up project. We cleaned up all the pine cones and limbs that fell over the winter. Thank you to all who helped with this huge project that we undertake each year!

Thank you WSDOT@

🚨🚨BREAKING: NB I-5 south of Bellingham is now open!!!

From WSDOT: FINAL UPDATE: Both northbound I-5 lanes are now OPEN south of Bellingham.

It's been nearly 4 weeks since the March 19 slide. Since then crews have stabilized the slope with 96 steel dowels and hauled enough debris to fill 2 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
