Meanmean, the woman who pulled a shopping cart loaded with her belongings over the North Cascades Highway last October, called Methow Grist writer Karen West this week.
It was a brief conversation. She said she was at the Safeway store in Walla Walla, and that the people in Walla Walla were not very friendly. “They don’t offer you shelter,” she said, implying a contrast to the Methow Valley, where she was offered food and places to stay.
Meanmean said nothing about where she is headed next. |
