Tragedy Remembered: Paper Mill Victims Honored

This Saturday, June 6th, a solemn procession will honor nine victims of the deadly paper mill implosion, carrying them home through Lewis and Cowlitz counties starting at 4 PM. The route begins at I-5’s Lexington Bridge, heading south on Westside Highway toward Kelso, with law enforcement ensuring safety and privacy. Two victims won’t be included—one outside coroner’s jurisdiction, the other already transported. Governor Ferguson called it Washington’s deadliest modern industrial disaster. Residents are urged to observe traffic rules and respect family privacy, with no public access to the Coroner’s Office or beyond a certain point along the route. A marked pickup truck with an enclosed trailer will lead the quiet, respectful journey. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
