Almond Roca, that buttery, crunchy, chocolate-covered, almond-dusted and world-famous candy from Tacoma, is celebrating its 100th birthday next week with the debut of a new neon sign.
back in 1923, will be commemorated at a big public party next Tuesday, Oct. 10, at 10:00 a.m. outside the Brown & Haley factory on 26th Street in Tacoma, not far from the Tacoma Dome. The highlight of the event will be the official first lighting of the new sign.
Kathi Rennaker is director of marketing for Brown & Haley and serves as the company’s unofficial historian. The old sign is back from the neon shop, too, and is now being stored temporarily in the Brown & Haley warehouse. Rennaker says they will take the next few months to determine which museum it will eventually go to.
“The only difference is that now, to set the clock, we don’t have to turn off the circuit breaker and wait for 12 hours,” Rennaker said. “We have a way to set the time correctly.”

Officers' lawyers challenge analysis of video that shows Black man's death in Tacoma, WashingtonLawyers for three police officers charged in the death of Manny Ellis have challenged a forensic video analyst’s interpretation of videos shot by witnesses that show the Black man’s fatal arrest in Tacoma, Washington. Analyst Grant Fredericks showed the jury a video Wednesday that showed Ellis with his hands in the air as Burbank fired the Taser at his chest and Collins putting his arm around Ellis’ neck. On Thursday, Collins' attorney Jared Ausserer said the video shows Ellis failed to follow the officers’ repeated commands to put his hands behind his back. Fredericks disagrees. He says it shows Burbank moving Ellis' arm behind his back. Prosecutors also plan to call Ellis’ sister, Monét Carter-Mixon, to testify Thursday.
