Good morning, Wenatchee.

A fire damaged two homes early Thursday afternoon in Wenatchee.

Graduation season in Wenatchee begins today at the Apple Bowl — seniors gather at 8 p.m. for a commencement ceremony with fireworks closing the event.

After the tragedy in North Central Washington, experts say parents need to talk honestly with children about loss and watch for signs like extra anger or sadness (which might mean it's time to seek help).

Dr. Patrick Carrillo from Confluence Health advises balancing honesty with care so children do not feel overburdened by adult emotions.
