Good morning, Kalispell.

Researchers testing Flathead Lake reported traces of forever chemicals in nearby waterways while census data shows Kalispell is growing rapidly — CFAC is set to pay $57.6 million for cleanup and state officials plan to replace a bridge damaged by last winter floods.

Flathead Lake orchards along Highway 35 are busy today with over 500,000 pounds of cherries picked already—harvest shipments will peak with seven semi-trucks per day before slowing into early August.

Smoke from wildfires in Washington and Oregon lowered air quality in western Montana on Monday, and forecasts predict haze from these fires (and Canadian smoke) will persist today.
