Good Morning Quincy WA Daily Brief – Wednesday, March 18 2026

Speaker: [00:00:00] Good morning, Quincy. Today is Wednesday, March 18th, 2026. And welcome to another Hump Day edition of Good Morning, Quincy, Washington Newscast. This is your daily local update for Quincy George Winchester Crescent Bar Sutland Estate, and all of the 9 8 8 4 8. If it matters to our community, we're talking about it.

And in the next few minutes, we'll cover today's weather, what's happening around town, school, sports and activities, schools, city council, police, fire, church community, and local business news. Whether you're heading to work, getting kids out the door, or just easing into your 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 weather forecast. Warmer morning today, currently about 50 here at the studio. Today, mostly cloudy with a hide in [00:01:00] ear To the mid to upper sixties winds Southwest. Six to 11 miles an hour tonight, dropping down again. Still cloudy. With a low of about 46.

Y'all ready for this

in your Jack Sports recap? Way to go. Quincy, lady Jack's junior varsity softball team, they beat Cascade High School 15 to three yesterday. Also, way to go to our Lady Jack's varsity softball team, who also won against Cascade High School. Varsity 14 four. Go Jack,

if you're looking for a reason to celebrate today. Today is National Sloppy Joe Days. Now I know that may might seem like a whole lot of reason to celebrate, but hey, jump back to your childhood. I know they're not quite as [00:02:00] common as they used to be and I'm not sure that we've seen them in a school lunch just in a long time, but have a little nostalgia day and joyous sloppy Joe.

It's awesome to know. National Transit Driver Appreciation Day. And ladies and gentlemen, cheers to all of our bus drivers and other trans drivers around the country. These amazing individuals take people to and fro and guide these giant vehicles around making sure people get home and where they need to go safely every single day and often go unappreciated.

So be sure and thank a transit driver today. Also, it's awkward moments today. I love awkward moments today because I have awkward moments all the time, and I think I'm not the only one, but we get a little, little shy when we're awkward. But celebrate your awkwardness today. Enjoy an awkward moment by just owning up to it and having some grace for each other.

We all have them. [00:03:00] Everybody has them, and especially young people in your life, let 'em know they're gonna have some awkward moments, and that's okay. Today around Quincy, the senior center has bridge at 12:30 PM The Craft. For those who are more crafty, there's the Chat and Stitch today at 1:00 PM and the lunch menu will be posted on the notes section at the Welcome to quincy wa.com website.

America is getting ready to celebrate. Its 250th birthday. And as you notice, there are [00:04:00] flags going up around town. It is a great moment. Our Quincy Historic Society Museum has a lot of things planned for this year, as well as other things we're gonna do as a city to celebrate. Happy Birthday, 250th for the USA Veterans Operation Creation has announced that their team has upgraded their luminary.

These are used for Memorial and Veterans Day to honor our members. The armed forces, the original paper ones are finally a little worn out and it's time to replace them, and so they have a new plastic version. They encourage you if you want to come pick up the original paper luminaries that they're replacing with these new waterproof ones are if you wanna make your own, they're encouraging that as well.
