Last Wednesday, Colville resident Krystal Anderson, 32, flexed her toes in her flip-flops and did a slow, casual spin, showing off her khaki shorts.
“I can finally wear these without worrying about being cold or wet, so in my mind, this is the first day of summer,” said Anderson. Anderson echoed a sentiment shared by many in the Colville valley and surrounding com¬munities, what with record breaking amounts of rain for the area dominating the month of June.
