In case you missed them, here are some of the top stories of the week:

Evergreen teachers vote to strike

The votes weren’t even fully submitted before Evergreen Public Schools teachers started making picket signs.

Missing Woodland man found dead; no evidence of foul play

A Woodland man reported missing Tuesday morning has been found dead, according to the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office.

The body of Enrique “Henry” Ramirez, 51, was discovered shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday, roughly a mile from the end of the paved portion of Fredrickson Road in Woodland, the sheriff’s office said.

Marijuana banking backlash snares Vancouver couple

Ty and Tracy Camp have been together for 11 years, and married for seven, but they rarely mix their finances.

Until May, she worked as an assistant vice president and financial center manager at Bank of America in Vancouver, and also owns and manages several residential properties around Clark County. He owns a construction company and Sunshine Farms, a marijuana grower and processor in Sifton. They share only one bank account, which they use to cover mutual costs — a rental property they co-owned, and some standard household expenses.

Health professionals picket Kaiser Permanente in Vancouver

Drivers signaled support with their horns to the nearly 50 people gathered at an informational picket Tuesday outside the Kaiser Permanente Cascade Park Medical Office in east Vancouver.

The demonstration was in support of the more than 4,000 nurses, techs, and health professionals represented by the Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals, who are currently in contract negotiations with Kaiser Permanente.

Sears Holdings Corp., which owns both Sears and Kmart stores, continues to clean house, with 13 Kmart and 33 Sears stores slated to shutter.
