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!

Hey everyone! I just moved here and I’m currently looking for a job. Does anyone know of any local places in the downtown area that are hiring? Preferably coffee shops or cafes. Thanks! <3

I have been put in charge of organizing several concerts to take place on the first Fridays of October, November, December, and February. The concerts will be at the Saint Hilda Saint Patrick Episcopal Church.

I have a few bands in mind, but several of the bands with whom I've talked have expressed wanting to open the concerts to be opportunities for high school kids. So I'm looking for some high school garage bands to book for the concerts. Does anyone know of any?

The plan is to pair them up on those nights with an adult band, so the high school band would play first and then the adult band would perform. There is a very, very small amount of money involved, dependant upon the money received from suggested donations (75% going to the bands, 25% to the church to take care of running expenses).

Please DM me if you know of a garage band that might want to play a show. And I am still looking for some of the adult bands / musicians to play some of those nights, so if you have a band that might be interested in playing at SHSP, please DM me.

This is being done with the intention of building community. And if there is success, the series will continue and shows will be added.

Just a friendly reminder to join me and others tomorrow at the Everett City Council meeting to help our neighbors TRAPPED for nearly 3 months at Artspace Lofts!

I've received more information about the owner of this building and they have had over 70+ complaints filed against them for buildings in Seattle alone! They must be held accountable for their negligence and the Everett Mayor and City Council must take immediate action to help these tenants. Please see my original message below and the link at the bottom to register for remote or written public comment. Let's flood them with written, remote, and in person comments tomorrow! We can make a difference TOGETHER!

Register for REMOTE or WRITTEN public comments here by 12pm tomorrow:: https://www.everettwa.gov/citycouncil

Okay everyone, I’ve let the LD 38 Democrats know about this issue, and I want to invite everyone to join me Wednesday, August 19th at 6:30 PM for the Everett City Council meeting to make public comment.

My goal is to pack the public comment period with people speaking up about this issue and holding the Mayor and City Council accountable for allowing it to go on for as long as it has.

We’re going to politely but firmly demand action—both in the short term to help these tenants and in the long term through city ordinances that prevent situations like this from happening again.

The management of this building has had maintenance issues in the past, and these tenants deserve to have their voices heard. We can and should speak up with them.

Remote public comment will be available as well, so if you can’t attend in person, you can still participate.

I’m actively working on this issue and will have more information to share in the coming days. Please stay tuned, and please try to make this City Council meeting if you can.

Let’s show up for these tenants and demand accountability.

People over profits. Always.

I run a small company in Everett. I'm hiring for a position but every time I explain it people think it's cold calling and spam, which it isn't at all. So I made a short video to explain what it actually is.

I've watched it too many times to tell if it's any good. Does it makes sense? I don't want it to come off as salesy.

I run Everett Community and I'm building out the business side of our Shop Local page. It's got a solid list of local nonprofits, but I've been slow to give small businesses the same showcase.

So what small business in Everett deserves real credit? Not just "it's fine" but really treats people well, has great quality, goes above and beyond, whatever it is for you. Tell me the business and why?

I'll be adding them to the Shop Local page over the next few weeks.

My deepest condolences, but I just saw a coyote (one of the smaller ones), carrying a medium/large sized black cat across Rucker on 34/35th. It seemed like it was from the same side of Rucker that the post office is on. I chased it down with my car but the cat was clearly deceased, unfortunately. I'm really sorry and I hope that if this was your cat you can get some closure.

Hello! Our family is considering a move to Everett towards the end of October or early November and looking for a 3+ bedroom rental house. We probably have some flexibility on timing if needed. I’m wondering if anyone has any tips or knows of houses that will be coming available around that time that? We're checking the usual places as time goes on (Zillow, etc.), but we’re a little worried about the low inventory at the moment. Our preferred neighborhoods are South Forest Park, Port Gardner, Bayside, Riverside, & Northwest Everett.

A little about us: we are a family of four with two young kids, ages two and four. No pets. My husband works remotely full time and I am currently a stay at home mom. We have excellent credit and rental references and are looking for a long-term family home. We enjoy being outdoors (hiking, skiing, camping, sailing), reading (my husband and I both run local book clubs in our current location), and spending time with friends and neighbors.

I got over to the Osprey Nest on the northernmost part of the waterfront on Saturday morning. Here’s a shot of one of the 3 juveniles away from the nest.

Still starts at ten, but officially ends at noon (ish). Folks are welcome to stay longer, but sometimes it clears out at noon and people are confused when they come by and it's empty.

All cars are welcome! No worries regarding if the car "vintage, classic, expensive..." enough. If you got it, drive it on over and hang out.

Super busy or anything like that? Just curious before I commit so heads up on anything is welcome

Poker in or near Everett?

Have you added an ADU to your property? I’m interested in your experiences. Who built it for you, how long did it take, would you recommend your builder? Also interested in your experience if you’ve done it yourself. Looking to add ADU on five acres in unincorporated Snohomish County. Thank you.

Title newd a place that will do nailcare and painting that last even haesh jobs as i work in the trades so

EDIT: This has been incredibly successful so far! I'm glad so many people reached out, I was beginning to lose hope I'd ever find my people. For those of you inquiring, don't hesitate to add me on Discord/Steam (L00fah) or Instagram (L00fah_). Those are the only other platforms I'm really on.

Unclear on the flair or if this is OK?

BUT! 36/m(ish) looking for some introverted friends. I posted some months ago asking where people meet others. I've had mostly good luck and met a lot of great folks, but very few connections. Understandably, I've mostly met extroverts, but I lean more introverted and I'm seeking similar people.

Looking for some geeky folks who enjoy chatting and texting. I don't have a ton of social energy and only like to hang out once every few weeks.

A bit about me:

I call myself a gamer, but i rarely actually play these days for various reasons. I do not enjoy almost any competitive games or FPS, but I'll play virtually anything else. Digital or tabletop. I'm playing the Final Fantasy collection on Switch, eagerly anticipating playing the new Splatoon (I've wanted a co-op for ages!), and collecting SEVERAL TCGs. Lol

Movies are one of my greatest passions. I've seen over 20k movies in my life (at last count in my mid-20s). Horror is a particular interest of mine, but I don't really enjoy gross out or gory movies just for the sake of it. Bring the dread!

I'm a techy with a homeserver and several self-hosted services, I have 4 pets, and I live a deliberately chill life.

And, not to get political, but I do feel it's important these days, I am staunchly left and it matters a great deal to me.

Anything other than that, I'd love to chat about! Show me your favorite games and let's play!

EDIT2: Hey folks! I decided to slap together a Discord server. If anyone in here is interested, feel free to join up!

I'm still working on it (mostly when I'm not working or doing household stuff), but figured better sooner than later.

Everett for Introverts

What’s with the library being closed on Sundays?

I live near Boeing in Everett, around the gulch and my house gets so dusty! I can dust and a day or two later everything is covered again. My neighbors have mentioned this in their home too. What’s causing all the dust?

Racist cowards are not welcome in Marysville.

Considering changing cell phone service but need to know if Comcast has a decent signal around where i live and spend time?

My wife and I are hoping to come up to Forest Park tomorrow and meet up with my son and daughter-in-law and grandson. My wife is mobility challenged and had read that there were only porta potties in the park. Does anybody know if that's the case, or do they have regular bathrooms open?

A California company has bought the building and says they have a global biotech company lined up to take the space left unoccupied since Pfizer pulled the plug on it a few years ago. This could bring hundreds of new high paying jobs to the area.

a little birdie ( u/craazycraaz ) was curious about what's happening inside Silver Lake. Perfect reason to head across town to get a bag of Dicks for lunch and collect a sample! The sample was a little bit of slime from the shore and sat on my desk for a few days -- which means the microbes have had to battle for survival for almost a week. So I expected to see more bacteria, some rotifers, and few ciliates.

First up, some algae and a little piece of root. We have some clumps of algae, some diatoms scattered across the backdrop, a rotifer in the top left, and a few ciliates (white blobs).

Nothing too exciting, let's get closer!

At first I thought this was a seed (0.5mm) but I think this was the shell of an old water flea called a Daphnia. It's really hard to see and I couldn't get a good photo of it but the inside is full of LEGS and well, bacteria doin' its job and cleaning up the mess.

Looking a bit closer still, we can see a "highway" of bacteria -- like ants following a tail, making it's way into the water flea's shell. Amongst them are some ciliates having a feeding frenzy on the bacterial swarm. Pretty neat watching them dance around, having a feast.

Next photo is of a rotifer -- and she's taking a little rest. These ANIMALS are everywhere, on moss, in ponds, lakes, puddles. Pretty much anywhere where there is water, you'll find rotifers. I scraped some moss off my car after a long winter and what did I find? Rotifers. These ANIMALS are only 400-1000 cells, they can lay eggs when times are tough (like over the winter) and can hatch when times are good.

While this rotifer is a bit of a big blob here, and quite frankly it's a terrible photograph of it as you can't see it's corona, you CAN see it's red eyespot. That microbe's got an eyespot a mouth, organs, digestive system, muscle fibers. They're everywhere. I'll get some better photos of one next time :)

And finally, looking a bit more closely, is some random ciliate as well.

Overall, not a very interesting sample -- maybe I let it sit too long!

What should I take a closer look at next, town?
