Good Morning Quincy WA Daily Brief - Monday, Jan 19 2026

Speaker: [00:00:00] Good morning, Quincy Washington, and welcome to another beautiful week here in Quin, Quincy area. This is your local news show. Today is Monday, January 19th, 2026, and this is your daily local update for Quincy George Winchester and Crescent Bar. If it matters to our community, we're talking about it. In the next few minutes, we'll cover today's weather, what's happening around town, school, sports, activities, schools, city police, fire church, and local business news.

Whether you're heading to work, getting the kids out the door, or just easing 'em to the day, we're here to help you stay connected to what's happening in our community. Grab your coffee, get ready for your day, and let's start with today's local forecast. Well, it's definitely a cooler night here in the Quincy area.

Uh, I know my house where you're pulling up the blankets a little bit last night. It's currently around 28 degrees, and that cold is just [00:01:00] kinda seeping in today. Today is chilly with areas of low clouds, freezing fog this morning, and then mostly cloudy this afternoon. Be sure and give yourself that extra few minutes this morning to defrost your car and be aware of possible six spots, not only on the road, but on your own driveway.

Let's all be safe. This we're starting out this morning and take some of the stress off by giving ourselves a few extra minutes this weekend On Jack's Sports Recaps. Friday, Jack's varsity basketball played against CL and loss, 86 to 49. The lady Jack varsity basketball played Sila and lost 78 to 22.

Hard loss guys, but keep it up. We believe in you. On Saturday, Jack's varsity basketball played Othello and won 77 to 52. Lady Jack's varsity basketball played Othello and lost 51 47. Lady Jack's wrestling competed in an invitational here at home with several other teams this weekend. I can't find any scores on that.

I know wrestling is predominantly an [00:02:00] individual team. But they just weren't posted. So you guys be sure and check that out. And if you've got a Lady Jack wrestler in your life, be sure and support them and let them know that we're behind them. For reasons to celebrate today is National Popcorn Day. Now maybe that doesn't mean a lot to you, but around my house.

That's a big deal because we love nothing more than the curl up and watch a good movie with a bucket of popcorn. So enjoy some popcorn today. Now, all joking aside, guys, today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. A reminder that progress is built through service, respect, and showing up for our neighbors and community.

So there's a lot more to the whole Martin Luther King Jr. Today, including. Closures for schools and offices, but we'll get to that in just a few minutes. For all you Seahawks fans, congratulations on the win over the 49 ERs on Saturday. Clenching this NFC West title and advancing to play the Rams next Sunday.

Go Hawks. I never thought I'd say that I'm not a Hawks fans, but I know there are [00:03:00] a lot of Hawks fans listening today. So congratulations to all the Hawks fans and to the Seahawks themselves in weekly events. The Quincy Senior Center hosts several weekly events. That are you're welcome to attend. On Monday, they host Coffee hour at 10:00 AM line dancing at 1:00 PM.

They also host Bridge on Mondays at two 15 on Tuesdays. There's an exercise class at 1:00 PM There's a lot going on for our seniors. Make sure that they are in the know, and I know a lot of seniors who really enjoy everything going on in our senior center, so let's support that. Now. I know you guys need your daily bad joke to start the day, so here we go.

Did you hear about the frog that lost his car? Apparently it got towed

happening around town this week. The Quincy Library is closed today in honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On Thursday, [00:04:00] January 22nd at 3:00 PM the LI Library will host an estate planning wills and trust workshop if that's something that you're looking into getting set up. These are things that you take care of long before you absolutely need them.

So be sure and check out that opportunity on Friday, January 23rd at 1:00 PM There's no school and the library is having a movie showing ELO at 1:00 PM for the kids. This movie showing is welcome to All Who want to attend, and you're encouraged to bring your own snacks.

With the discussion on the book and the differences between the movie and the book on February 18th, giving you lots of time to read the book if you haven't yet. Quincy Valley Wrestling is holding an in-person registration for the wrestling program for kids from grade K through eight. On Friday, January 23rd from five to [00:05:00] 6:00 PM at the Quincy Middle School in the wrestling room behind the school practices.

Start the week of January 26th with a final day of registration, being Friday, January 30th. Several opportunities with the Quincy Rec Department. This week we'll have more details on those individual events.

A Festival of Midwest Winter fundraiser for Quincy choirs on Saturday, January 24th from six to 9:00 PM at the Quincy Valley Historical Society Museum. I've gotta look at some of the things that are gonna be up for auction. During the bag Pike Bash, uh, there will be live auctions and a silent auction going on, and there are some amazing things up for auction at this event.

From tickets to the Phantom, the opera to tickets, to upcoming performances, uh, in our own local area. Wines, golfing. There's all kinds of things up for grabs. At this amazing fundraiser and the food is always spectacular, go support our Quincy Choir from the Washington DOT [00:07:00] Highway 2 85 Wenatchee River Bridge.

That's the bridge on the Wenatchee only side up on, I believe, the north, we'll call it the North end. It's not the George Cell Bridge, it's the Highway Bridge on the other Northtown guys. If you're traveling down to Wenatchee area, and I know we have a lot of people who commute from our area down to Wenatchee on a regular basis, you may have seen some of the closures this weekend that were affecting the bridge both directions.

Uh, starting today, there will be closures from 6:00 PM to Tuesday, January 20th at 6:00 AM guys, this project is scheduled to last for 30 working days. So there will be many more nighttime closures, closures as needed to do the work along with work probably during the day. So if you need to go to the far end of Wenatchee towards highway two, please give yourself a little extra time or take alternate routes, uh, [00:08:00] as traffic.

That's gonna get a little crunching. Now, before we jump into this week in the Quincy Jack's life. We're gonna cover some of the city admin news and announcements, and then we'll jump into Quincy Jack sports and events. The city offices in Quincy are closed today for Martin Luther Junior Day. I told you there's a whole lot more to that than just me announcing that that's what today is.

School closures today. City offices are closed today. The library's closed today, but tomorrow. Tomorrow, the City Council of Quincy is meeting at the City Hall from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM The city of Georgia also has a city council meeting in Georgia at 7:00 PM and other Quincy News. A small white dog was found running around by Lamb Weston over the weekend according to the Quincy Animal Shelter and can be found House at Quincy Animal Shelter.

They're looking to get this animal home guys. It's a small, white, cute [00:09:00] little dog. Uh, and hey, let's get an your animals chipped and tagged guys. Put a little color on 'em with your name and number or whatever so we can get these animals home. We have blossom running around Quincy, but if you're missing your dog or know someone who is that fits this description, you can check out a picture of the dog over on the Quincy Animal Shelter Facebook Beach.

Once again, no school today. Do not try and put your kids under the bus and don't just drop them at the doors. Uh, there's also no school on Friday. There's a record stay for the Quincy School District, so that may need to shape your week. There's no school today. There's also no school Friday for the kids.

It's a three day school week. Congratulations to the kids, I guess, and mom and dad. I guess you get to figure out how that works This week in Jack Sports and events, Thursday night is family Steam night, stem, steam. I always say that wrong. At 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Pioneer [00:10:00] Elementary. Also, Qias Winter parent meeting is at 6:00 PM.

I believe that's Thursday. Tomorrow the Jacks and Lady Jacks wrestling teams are headed to Othello to compete. Good luck, jacks, and let's wrap this out with a quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Himself. If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward, and that's your local update for today.
