Flags at Half-Staff March 11, 2026 for Rev. Jesse Jackson
I hereby direct that Washington state and United States flags at all state agency facilities be lowered to half-staff in memory of the Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.
A lifelong champion of justice and icon of the civil rights movement, his efforts improved the lives of underserved communities throughout the United States and inspired others to pursue a life in public service.
Rev. Jackson’s work included deep and lifelong ties to Washington state, including prominently advocating for peace between the United States and the Soviet Union during the 1990 Goodwill Games in Seattle and preaching a message of peace, justice, and quality from the pulpit of Mount Zion Church in Seattle.
His loss is deeply felt by many, though his legacy exemplifies that a life lived with dignity in the service of others can change lives for the better, and will be long remembered. Rev. Jackson passed away on February 17, 2026.
Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business or sunset on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.

North City Station arriving soon; you can help
A new city park with food trucks and artist galleries is coming soon to North City. Neighbors will clean up the future North City Station site at 910 NE 185th St on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at a community work party.
The city of Shoreline will turn derelict buildings near the Shoreline North Light Rail Station into a public park with food trucks and artist space.
On Saturday, March 21st, neighbors are throwing a Community Cleanup Work Party to remove trash and help get the site ready for the public.
Shoreline is working to expand the existing, small 0.3-acre Rotary Park at the corner of 10th Ave NE and NE 185th Street into a 4.75-acre park.

| The old North City Mower shop Photo by Oliver Moffat |
Shoreline recently signed an agreement to use a little over three acres of Seattle City Light property as public park space. That agreement includes the old North City Mower shop building that is now vacant and boarded up.
The property behind the little Rotary Park is owned by Seattle City Light and was once a convenience store and then the long-time location of the old North City Mower and Saw shop.
The building is now closed and boarded up, and the site is full of trash.
On March 21st, volunteers from the neighborhood will clean up the trash. Use this form to RSVP for the North City Station Spring Cleanup on Saturday, March 21st, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
There’s a lot of work to do.
After the trash is removed, the plan is to activate the site and turn it into North City Station with food trucks and old shipping containers for artist galleries and local shops in time for the World Cup this summer.
Later, (once funding is secured) the now-vacant 2,400‑square‑foot saw shop will get a makeover.
The inside of the building will be cleaned out and the roof will be repaired to create an indoor dining and community gathering space with public restrooms. A big rollup-style garage door would be added for the entryway. The current murals are planned to be preserved to maintain the urban vibe of the space.
The city of Shoreline bought the three single-family homes just north of the old saw shop along 10th Ave NE a couple of years ago. Those homes are now empty and derelict and the city plans to demolish them to create 1.17 acres of new public park space.
Seattle City Light has agreed to allow Shoreline to use 3.06 acres of land for public park space. Electricity transmission lines run along much of that land.
Although exact plans haven’t been finalized, the open space could be developed into play areas, a dog park, walking trails, picnicking, or outdoor art. Maybe even a pickleball court.
Seattle City Light often encourages planting low-growing native vegetation to provide wildlife habitat and stormwater management. Currently, roughly a quarter acre of the site is overrun with noxious weeds (mostly Himalayan blackberry and Scotch broom).
The North City Station project is supported by the City of Shoreline, Seattle City Light, the North City Neighborhood Association, Urbanist Shoreline, and has support from State Representative Lauren Davis and Senator Jesse Salomon.
Funding for North City Station has come from the city of Shoreline Park Impact Fees, King County Conservation Futures, Seattle City Light, and possibly some funding from the stat
Fundraiser for owners of Swirl Frozen Yogurt in Lake Forest Park

| Ari in the hospital after being hit by a drunk driver |
I am starting this fundraiser to support my dear friends during one of the most difficult times of their lives. Truly a great family and a local business we have loved to support over the years. Thank you for helping and sharing. Heather @acorncatering
On the night of the Super Bowl, February 8, 2026, their lives changed in an instant. Ari and his wife, Ug, owners of Swirl Frozen Yogurt in Lake Forest Park Town Center, were driving home when a drunk driver ran a red light and crashed into them at approximately 70mph.
Ari was seriously injured in the crash. Ug, who was in the passenger seat, was also involved in the accident and sustained minor injuries and a fractured tailbone.
 |
| Ari's vehicle after the collision |
He is in significant pain and is mostly confined to bed. His recovery will take time, ongoing medical care, and patience.
Because of the severity of his injuries, their family business, Swirl Frozen Yogurt in Lake Forest Park Town Center, has had to temporarily close.
With no income coming in, they are now facing mounting medical bills, rent, and basic living expenses while focusing on his healing.
Please consider donating, sharing this fundraiser, or keeping them in your thoughts and prayers. Any support, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference as Ari works toward recovery.
Thank you for coming together to support them during this incredibly challenging time.
Please note: UG is the beneficiary of this go fund me.

WeatherWatcher: Current Weather Explained, Forecast: Will it Snow? Not really.
 |
| Total snow amount forecast by 5am PDT Wednesday Graphic by the National Weather Service |
Believe it or not, but March and April are prime time seasonally for Puget Sound Convergence zone events. This is typically the time of year when cold air from the Arctic pours out over the Gulf of Alaska and moves in from the west or northwest into Western Washington. This air gets modified by the relatively warm Pacific Ocean and becomes unstable. This creates our spotty cool shower activity and when the angle of the westerly wind is just right, forms a convergence zone.
 |
| Hillwood neighborhood snowfall on Monday afternoon Photo by Pam Cross |
Today (Monday, March 9, 2026) was no different, with an active but dissipating and recurring convergence zone developed between around Everett to Northgate Seattle area. The air near the surface has been warmed by the ocean and stronger sun of late winter but remains very cold aloft. Heavier precipitation causes that colder air aloft to move down closer to the surface, which is why we start to see a wintery mix with the heavier rain showers.
Forecast: Monday night and Tuesday morning the convergence zone activity is expected to intermittently continue. With the warmth of the sun gone overnight, some of those showers will likely mix with snow, or could become all snow at times. These showers are short lived in nature and any accumulation that does happen will likely be limited to exposed grassy surfaces. It's not expected to get cold enough for roads to freeze and accumulate any snow. No accumulations in general are expected.
Tuesday afternoon and evening a more organized rainmaker approaches, and some of that rain may start as snow, or rain and snow mixed, before we warm up into the mid 40's. Rain is expected to continue Wednesday morning and afternoon. Winds are expected to pick up on Wednesday as well, with some stronger gusts possible toward the evening hours of 30-40mph.
Rain continues at times Thursday morning and afternoon, then more chilly air sinks back into the region and brings more threats of rain and snow-mixed precipitation in the overnight hours for Thursday night, Friday morning, again Friday night and Saturday morning. More rain/snow mix precipitation is possible once again Saturday night and Sunday morning before longer range forecasts suggest we warm back up.
Bottom line: For Shoreline and Lake Forest Park, these kinds of rain/snow mixed showers are common in March and April, but it is rare for them to produce any significant accumulation. We might see a quick half inch here and there in heavy showers but it'll melt off rapidly, especially if the sun comes out.

Protesters gather every Sunday between 1 and 2pm to share their message of resistance with passing motorists.
"Folks turned out for the regular Social Justice Sundays sign-waving to protest issues ranging from his incoherent war against Iran - already costing the lives of U.S. troops, to the disgraceful treatment of immigrants and citizens alike, continued questions about the Epstein files, skyrocketing gas prices, a tariff-damaged economy, a treasury treated as personal piggy bank, growing white supremacist influence, and so much more."
Additional Sunday sign-wavings this month are scheduled for March, 15 and 22, 1-2pm at the intersection of Aurora Ave N and N 205th St.
A special "No Kings 3" rally and march is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2026 at the Park at Town Center, 17550 Aurora Ave N, in Shoreline, just north of the Walgreens, near City Hall, 1-3pm (rally starts at 1:15pm).
The event will include a rally with speakers followed by a march (optional), sign-waving, action tables, children's activities including sign-making and a kids' march, and a food, toiletries, pet food donation drive.

After a decade of being homeported in Bremerton, the 50 year old aircraft carrier USS Nimitz is moving to the Southern Command and will be homeported in Norfolk, Virginia.
It is the Navy’s oldest aircraft carrier and first of its kind, commissioned in 1975. Originally slated to be decommissioned, a change of plans has it assigned to the South Seas 2026 exercise.

Too large for the Panama Canal, the Nimitz will sail around Cape Horn, visiting several partner states on the ship’s circumnavigation of the continent of South America, en route to its new homeport,
The departure of the Nimitz leaves one carrier, USS Ronald Reagan, at Kitsap. The USS Ronald Reagan is undergoing a 17-month overhaul scheduled to end later this year.
The Navy has announced plans to homeport the future USS John F. Kennedy at Kitsap as early as 2029.

$65 per person. Register here or use the QR code in the flyer.
At this session, participants will be carving gel plates (which are made from gelatin, but firmer) and foam board to create designs.
We will then use printing ink and acrylic paint to create layered designs using their carved pieces and other materials. Leader McKy Karvounis will walk them through the steps as we go.

Court order requires FEMA to restore funds to state infrastructure programs
In Washington, about two dozen BRIC projects totaling more than $150 million have been in limbo due to the federal government’s actions.
"The judge's order in this case was unequivocal: FEMA must restore the BRIC program. Communities across Washington are counting on these dollars for vital disaster mitigation projects,” Brown said.
“We will keep fighting to make sure FEMA stops wasting time and carries out the program as Congress intended.”
