That is one determined mole

Oct. 29, 2013. You'd think with all the cats around here one of them catch that little digger. But noooo. Instead the felines use the hills as outdoor litter boxes.

Library and Post Office

Oct. 29, 2012. An East County News distribution box between the Library and Post Office. Both buildings were constructed in the early 1960s. The library building was a laundromat and then a video store in the past.

East County News

Oct. 29, 2012. McCleary itself has not had a weekly newspaper since the early 1960s. Currently there are two regional weeklies that include coverage of the town. The East County News began in the 1980s and is basically a collection of articles gathered from the Daily World (Aberdeen, Wash.). It is a free newspaper.

The Montesano Vidette, which began in the 1880s and is the oldest newspaper in the county in spite of the title changes, is subscription-based and includes McCleary news.

Things that are gone, things that are new

A view from inside the McCleary Post Office. Through the windows on the left you see the now extinct old Rhodes Grocery and McCleary Stimulator office, where the new clinic now sits. Through the door windows on the left you see the vacant lot where a drive-thru coffee place called The Coffee Shop now exists.
