Two business ribbon cuttings were held last week, one on either side of the river. First was for AIM, Inc., a local accounting firm, on Jan. 23 (AIM has been in business for a while, but only recently joined the Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce, hence the celebration); the second was for the Rainier Fresh Country Store in Buckley, which recently held a grand opening week.
