Here come the holidays, and along with them a cavalcade of parties, dinners and wine-friendly special occasions. Now is the time to stock up for entertaining, gift-giving, Thanksgiving and toasting the New Year.
A safe in a Walla Walla general store catering to miners during Gold Rush days seems an unlikely beginning for a banking institution that has served the Walla Walla community since 1869. Yet, 150 years later, that modest safe is showcased in the main office of Baker Boyer Bank as a reminder …
