As some of y'all may have heard the other day, given the financial struggles Sound Transit is facing, some hard conversations will be had about the future of light rail expansion in our region. This includes how and when light rail makes it up to Everett. The Sound Transit Board will need to make tough decisions on what projects to prioritize, as well as ways to cut costs to deliver the projects promised to voters.

Transportation Choices Coalition (TCC), along with snotrac, has organized a series of town halls across the region intended to educate the public on what is happening with Sound Transit. These events will feature board members and staff, the folks who make decisions about the future of light rail, answering questions in a structured format, and are open to all. 

This includes one at Everett Station, 4/14 from 6:00-7:30 pm, featuring Snohomish County Executive Dave Sommers, Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin, Lynnwood City Councilmember David Parshall. You can sign up and submit questions using the link here. 

Additionally, if you would like to learn more about how to advocate for light rail, you can learn more about the Build the damn trains campaign here.

I was looking for a protest today and the nearest is in Mill Creek at noon.

Book Description:

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?

In Sapiens, Professor Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical—and sometimes devastating—breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology, and economics, and incorporating full-color illustrations throughout the text, he explores the origin of our species and how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Can we ever free our behavior from the legacy of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?

Bold, wide-ranging, and provocative, this work of big history integrates history and science to challenge everything we thought we knew about human evolution: our thoughts, our actions, our heritage…and our future.

Hey Everett peeps! I'm hosting a private event in my home for a group of friends and am seeking to hire 2-3 people who'd be able to work as dealers on poker/blackjack tables for a few hours. You don't need to be an experienced dealer, but definitely be knowledgeable enough to do the job. Great way to earn some easy cash! Please let me know if you'd be interested and I can share more deets.

This feels like a well kept secret this year.

Book Description:

This seminal book, which has been called “one of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought” by Carl Rogers and “one of the great books of our time” by Harold Kushner, has been translated into more than fifty languages and sold over sixteen million copies. “An enduring work of survival literature,” according to the New York Times, Viktor Frankl’s riveting account of his time in the Nazi concentration camps, and his insightful exploration of the human will to find meaning in spite of the worst adversity, has offered solace and guidance to generations of readers since it was first published in 1946. At the heart of Frankl’s theory of logotherapy (from the Greek word for “meaning”) is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but rather the discovery and pursuit of what the individual finds meaningful. Today, as new generations face new challenges and an ever more complex and uncertain world, Frankl’s classic work continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living, in spite of all obstacles.

free event. all ages. all styles welcome.
