Before he retired July 1 from the Bonney Lake Police Department, Officer Glen Hopkins witnessed several changes throughout his 26-year career.

When he first joined its forces as a reservist in 1981, Prairie Market was the only grocery store in Bonney Lake; state Route 410 had two lanes; Frankie and Ruth's and the Royal Inn were the only two restaurants in town; and Hopkins wore badge No. 7 in the one-stoplight town.

That was then.

Today, Grocery Outlet replaces the spot where Prairie Market customers once used wax crayons to mark prices on their canned goods; a parking lot has paved over breakfast conversations at Frankie and Ruth's; businesses surrounding Wendy's have replaced the Royal Inn; and 29 commissioned officers now serve and protect the citizens in an ever-growing town.
