COVID listening session, featuring John Stockton, draws roughly 500 to Wenatchee convention center

One by one, over roughly four and a half hours Saturday afternoon, attendees told their stories of claimed struggles and challenges from a pandemic that largely upended everyday life for nearly two years.
