Sharing is Caring: A new app created in Madrona lets people share their stuff with other users, says MyNorthwest.com. The app, MyNeighbor, allows users to post items they’re willing to share with neighbors or make a request for something they want to borrow. Users can choose to share for free, charge a fee or share in exchange for a donation to a local charity. By borrowing items instead of buying them, users save money on things they would rarely use (like power washers or extra camping gear). So far, the app works on the honor system. MyNeighbor is available for android and iOS.

Into the Woods: Cinder, a female bear burned in wildfires last year, is being released back into the wild after a period of rehabilitation. The 125-pound bear was discovered in Methow County’s Carlton Complex Fire last July with paws so scorched she couldn’t walk on them, reports the Associated Press. Washington Fish and Wildlife officers are releasing Cinder into woods near Wenatchee mid-week. Accompanying her will be a male bear cub she befriended in rehab. Awwww.
