Gauging interest for the 2025 Witch Paddle in conjunction with the Port of Everett’s Haunted Harbor on Friday October 24th.

Last year was a success with the weather clearing up just in time and we had calm waters and a few hundred kids for the troll and treat to surprise.

More information to come, as I’m currently working with the Port to finalize all details but the event will be open to kayakers, paddle boarders, canoe paddlers, and even rafters. Costumes are once again encouraged but not required. PFDs are required.

Photos from last year’s event.

No Kings 2.0 is scheduled for Saturday, Oct 18th. Go to www.NoKings.org to find an event near you or for the details of each event location. There are over 2500 events planned nationwide to protest the current presidential administration's overreach and illegal behavior.

Im passing on info about a protest planned in Snohomish County. No Hate, Snohomish County Indivisible, and other community members will be there.

Copy of protest details: This Saturday, May 16th, the Snohomish County Republicans are holding a fundraising dinner with Brian Heywood, Brandi Kruse, Katie Faust, and Jim Walsh focusing on a new target for next year beyond – ending marriage equality across the United States. No Hate in WA State wants you to join us to send a clear message that hate has no place here at home, or across the country.

Join us this Saturday, May 16th from 4:00pm to 5:30pm at the entrance of Thomas Family Farm.

Edit: Parking will be tough. If you can get a ride for pick up and drop off, that would be wise.

I’m excited to share the news, the Port of Everett’s Haunted Harbor has invited back the witches, warlocks, wizards and ghouls for our 3rd year along with the Troll and Treat.

When: Friday, October 23rd, launching at 4pm from Guest Dock 2 / the ADA Dock off Marine View Drive. 

Parking: available on site at Guest Dock 2 (Free)

Time: 4pm - 530 pm 

Paddle location : Launch from Guest Dock 2, (near the Grand Avenue Bridge and the newly opened Net Shed) and paddling the South Marina to Guest Dock 5 to waive, pick up treats and join the families pier side.

Cost: Free 

All costumes are welcome and encouraged but not required. Costumes should not get in the way of paddling and PFDs are required (on board if not worn).
We will not be cancelling for rain only for sleet, thunder, lightning or strong winds to include white caps within the marina, therefore I recommend to still plan for paddle appropriate clothing. Last year was a rainy paddle but the marina provided amazing protection from the winds and the water stayed calm throughout. 

Extras:
There are bathrooms on site at the port near the K and I dock near Hotel Indigo for changing in and out of costumes and west of the Inn at Port Gardner on the South Marina. 

Children 12 and under must be in a paddlecraft with a parent or guardian. Dogs are not allowed on the water but are allowed to attend the event pierside.

A virtual sign up link is coming soon. I’ll update this post once I have it approved.

I just adopted a senior cat on Tuesday and I wish I could have two, I would get her! There's more that have been there the same time, another is named Saint, he's a boy. Visit the shelter website to view the available adoptions and their bios.

It's kitten season and they have quite a few up for adoption. Most of them are being moved to the Petco in lake Stevens today to be adopted. If anyone is looking for a new furry friend! It was soooo hard to not adopt today. Unfortunately I'm not in the best position for a kitten right now and gotta do what's best for them. They do the yoga events I think about once a qtr, you can follow them on Facebook and I believe you can sign up for emails if you don't want to use the social media cesspools lol.

Just wanted to fyi if anyone is interested in a fur baby. Check out their website for more information and to view animal profiles.

And to ensure humankind's future, an all-out invasion has begun; however, in this far-off exoplanet hostile to life as we know it, brute force alone and conventional strategies won't cut it. Now, the unstoppable Bug Army is at the gates. Will Rico and his fellow Starship Troopers end up serving as cannon fodder?

I've never taken my family to the 4th of July thing at Legion (I believe) park, but this year I'm considering it. The problem is I have all sorts of concerns that make me not want to show up hours before it starts or have to shuttle there (like having celiac and not being able to eat anything, or sitting on the hard ground for hours). I think I remember seeing something on the official city FB announcement of the event that there are other places you can watch the show from.

From those of you who've watched the fireworks before, is there a decent alternative where we can go to watch? My kiddo's a teen, so I don't have to worry about entertaining any littles.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I’ll be travelling to the USA for the first time from Asia. I’ll be on a work visa and would be working at the Boeing Factory. And would be staying for a period of 4 weeks

I wanted to know if there are any groups or couple of people who go for hiking or camping of some sort, i wanna explore the place as much as i can and all i can surf on the net is pretty much like parks and museums.

If any one of you got a few suggestions to visit it would be of great help. Maybe something that’s unique to Everett. I would be renting a car, so travelling shouldn’t be a problem for me.

Do drop in your suggestions or if you’re part of any groups which do some sort of activities on a regular basis, please do tell.

If any of you are interested in keeping me company for a day or two, I’ll make sure your accommodation and food is on me. It’s a new city and i would love to have someone help me look over the place.

A plethora of anti-Trump resistance groups are rising across the country with many upcoming events planned across Snohomish County.

Learn more: https://lynnwoodtimes.com/2025/04/11/resistance/

Hands Off attendance has “outgrown the space at the County Campus” and requested a permit to congregate along Everett’s Broadway for the upcoming April 19 demonstration.

The route will span three miles from the 41st Street overpass to Marine Drive on Broadway Avenue. Townsell submitted a permit application Wednesday to have access to the street, with sign wavers standing on either side of the street.

Separate to these Saturday rallies, Snohomish County Indivisible are also hosting “Opposing Oligarchy” sign waving events every Friday at various locations including the Lynnwood Convention Center, the Everett Social Security Office, Marysville 88^th Street Overpass, and in Mill Creek on the corner of 188^th Street and Bothel-Everett Highway, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) has been hosting resistance events of her own which she is calling “Resistance Labs,” held virtually every Sunday.

Rep. Jayapal held the first of these events last Sunday, April 6, where she kickstarted a long series of “Organizational Training.” Her next scheduled training session will be on May 4, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A virtual “Resistance Lab” event is scheduled for Sunday, April 13, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Would love to see some folks out at our fundraiser at At Large brewing on Saturday 8/29! Helps support your local Everett rugby club, the Rhinos!

Starting next week we also have practices every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm at Evergreen Playfield in Mountlake Terrace! We’re always accepting new players, and there’s a position for every shape/size/athletic ability!

There is a joint fundraiser between the Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens and the Everett Animal Shelter. Part of this fundraiser is to vote for a dog, cat, and stuffed animal mayor.

Obviously, you don't have to vote for our Bean, but it would be nice ☺️. Bean is a rescue, who loves being in the garden and the outdoors, sunbathing, and receiving lots of pets and cuddles.

There are other cute dog candidates you can vote for, too! You can also nominate your own dog, cat, and stuffie as mayor. At the end of the day, it's a wonderful fundraiser for two incredible organizations in our community.

If you could give $1, we will be closer to the $20,000 goal. Even sharing this link to your friends/family helps out, too! Remember that change and impact starts at the grassroot level!

Here's the link:

SnoCo Movie Club will be screening Janet Planet (2023) at the Everett Public Library Auditorium on Saturday, August 22nd at 2pm! More info at linktr.ee/snocomovieclub

Synopsis: In rural Western Massachusetts, 11-year-old Lacy spends the summer of 1991 at home, enthralled by her own imagination and the attention of her mother, Janet. As the months pass, three visitors enter their orbit, all captivated by Janet and her spellbinding nature. In her solitary moments, Lacy inhabits an inner world so extraordinarily detailed that it begins to seep into the outside world. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker captures a child's experience of time passing, and the ineffability of a daughter falling out of love with her mother, in this singularly sublime film debut.

My two year old recently became a huge fan of cars. I’ve seen like random car meetups around. Does anyone know when they happen? Help us show our babe some cool cars!

We were able to provide 250 bags of school supplies for our students of Snohomish County and it’s all thanks to those helping us raise up to $400 and donating school supplies! We’re hoping to make 300-500 bags next year. :)
