- If your cat gets stuck in a tree, calling the fire department may be your first instinct. But those types of calls are rarely handled by firefighters. That’s where Canopy Cat Rescue, a Washington-based organization, steps in.
Founded in 2009 by Shaun Sears and his rescue partner Tom, the organization specializes in helping cats stranded in trees, on rooftops, and in other hard-to-reach places.
“We kind of had this drive to help people and cats from very early on,” Sears said. “We were a small tree service, but we didn’t do a lot of tree work. And so, when our tree service friends would get the call for a cat in a tree, they’d say, hey, try Tom or Shaun. They might be able to help you. And then fast forward a few more years; we decided to operate on donations.”

- Years after a settlement was approved by courts, patients who suffered complications from medical mesh used to treat issues like hernias are feeling frustrated, disappointed, and let down by the amount of money they received.
In one of the medical mesh cases patients are dealing with, it started with a hernia—where an intestine or organ pushes through the muscle wall.
KIRO 7 spoke to more than a dozen people, some in Washington, others across the United States. Many of them feared retaliation from their lawyers and wanted privacy for the pain they’ve experienced. Four patients agreed to go on the record with the mental, physical, and emotional pain they’ve dealt with, in some cases for decades.

A juvenile court judge found probable cause in each count, though he has not yet been formally charged.

- On August 13th around 2:30 am, deputies spotted an e-bike rider who was riding in the oncoming lanes, with no lights on, at 102nd St S and Steele St S. Deputies attempted a traffic stop due to the dangers of riding in oncoming lanes and having no lights. Still, this rider did not want to stop. It was made known to the rider to stop several times, and the pursuit continued southbound on Hosmer St. S to 96th St. S. The rider was finally caught at 92nd St. S, where the rider fled for a short foot pursuit before being captured.
"Please know that riding an e-bike on the road with a helmet is legal, but you must still follow all traffic laws. The suspect was taken into custody after a short foot pursuit and booked into the Pierce County Jail for eluding and obstruction, and the e-bike was impounded. This otherwise would have just been a basic traffic stop," the sheriff's office said.
