Don’t show him the owner’s manual: A woman who made a documentary about Colton Harris-Moore says the Barefoot Bandit and self-taught pilot has obtained a GED in prison and is working with a mentor from Boeing.

I christen thee: The state invites folks to vote for their favorite of the four proposed names for the newest 144-car ferry. The choices include Chimacum, Cowlitz, Sammamish and Suquamish.
