Eric Johnson KOMO
It doesn't matter what your philosophical, political or religious bent is. We can all agree that we're supposed to take care of one another, that the strong should help look after the weak.
That's exactly what we found in Ballard.
There is a little man there, a survivor, really, who has found a home. Ballard has wrapped its arms around Joel Abel, and the world is better for it.
