Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

We're working with utility crews to cleanup downed wires on I-5 between Tumwater and Maytown. The road is closed. Traffic is diverted around the closure on SR 121. Avoid the area. If you're traveling, expect delays along the detour until work is complete.
