A public memorial in Wenatchee Friday for the Decker sisters.

Nine year old Paityn, eight year old Evelyn and five year old Olivia were remembered by a crowd in the small Washington city.

People were asked to wear purple, pink and green in honor of the little girls and to bring a glow stick or candle to light up for them.

The memorial was held at Rocky Reach Park and it was live streamed.

The girls were found dead near a campsite in Leavenworth three weeks before after their father didn't return them to their mom after a planned custody visit.

Their father, Travis Decker, is accused of killing the three girls.

In Tacoma the city has loosened up some restrictions on what types of housing can be built in its neighborhoods.

Now, duplexes, triplexes and other multi-unit dwellings can go up where it used to be zoned just for single family homes.

These new regulations went into effect in February.

It's meant to help address some of the region's housing crisis by making some options more affordable for renting, as well as buying.

We talked to a woman who lives in South Tacoma.

She says she's not so worried about the duplexes, but... -Sometimes it's three or four right in a row, one behind the other, and so there's really no green space between them.

- There are requirements for new builds to include green space in the code.

Urwin, however, does not think that those protections go far enough.

Over the last couple of months, the city says it's received about 80 permit applications, equating to roughly 200 new housing units.

A new apprenticeship program could start as soon as this fall.

Caretakers, or rather direct support professionals or DSPs will now get on the job training through this program.

This is a first of its kind in Idaho at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston.

The pilot program will be fueled by a two year, roughly $250,000 grant from the Idaho Workforce Development Council.

- A lot of people say they leave their jobs within the first year because they don't feel like they're adequately trained.

-That's Doug Cruthirds, the director of workforce training at LCSC.

The program will be run through the college, along with organizations across the state that offer DSP services.

Some of those locations include Coeur d'Alene, Boise, Idaho Falls and Pocatello.

The goal is to bring in 40 new trainees in the program's first two years.
