| Get him out of kitty jail! Available for adoption |
There is less than one week left in the Shelter Challenge! While first place sadly looks out of reach, there are two $2,000 runner-up prizes up for grabs (for the #2 and #3 shelters), and right now we are in third place. However, the fourth place shelter has been gaining on us FAST the past several days. If we all vote every day and share this link, we can still win! This grant would buy a lot of kitten food which we are going to need desperately very soon.

Locally, the Haggens in Lake Forest Park will go back to being an Albertsons and the Haggens in Shoreline will go back to being a Safeway. Both will be owned by Albertsons LLC.
According to Coupons in the News, Albertsons LLC is expected to acquire, pending the bankruptcy court’s approval, the Lake Forest Park store at 17171 Bothell Way NE. Since the conversion, it has been in continuous operation as a Haggens. It will be converted back to an Albertson's.
Did you purchase a television, smart phone, monitor, notebook computer, color-screen cell phone or color-screen iPod with an LCD flat screen during the time period of 1998 through 2006? If so, you may be entitled to a refund.
The Attorney General’s Office has secured a $63 million recovery — one of the largest in state history — from nine liquid crystal display (LCD) panel manufacturers who conspired for years to drive up prices of their products. Because of the ubiquitous presence of LCD products in the everyday lives of consumers, millions of people may benefit from the recovery.
Here is everything you need to know about the recovery and the free claims process now available on our website.
It is important to act soon in order to qualify for a share of the recovery money.
Meanwhile, we have alerted consumers to avoid a third-party agent that has also set up a claims website, but will charge a hefty fee for the service. As explained in this release, with the official free and easy claims process in place, there is no reason for consumers to pay a fee to seek restitution from the LCD settlement.

Hundreds of thousands of small businesses across the state may one day enjoy new tools to expand and create more jobs, thanks to legislation signed into law Friday by Gov. Jay Inslee.
Senate Bill 6100, sponsored by Sen. Maralyn Chase, D-Edmonds, establishes a pilot program in the state Dept. of Commerce to provide strategic business assistance services to businesses that employ more than six but fewer than 99 employees and annually gross between $500,000 and $50 million. The assistance includes market research, business modeling, identifying qualified sales leads, and assisting with innovation strategies.
“We have plenty of folks who are skilled at a product or service or specialized business niche but who don’t necessarily possess the knowledge or staff required for expanding a business,” Chase said. “With a little help, these small businesses can expand market share and create jobs.”
“If you expand these businesses, they can hire people,” Chase said. “It’s great for our economy and great for our working families.”

Director Pauls Macs says of Spelling Bee: This is one of my very favorite musicals. There's nothing else like it in the musical theatre canon. Both hilarious and heartbreaking, the show lovingly plays with musical theatre conventions, and the audience participation makes each performance unique. I'm so grateful to Edmonds Driftwood Players for letting me tell this story. Only one speller can be champion, but each of the contestants learns what it means to be a winner at our bee.
On April 4, the Shoreline City Council proclaimed the month of April Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Sexual Assault Awareness Month calls attention to the fact that sexual violence is widespread and impacts every person in this community. The statistics are staggering and show that we must do more to address this issue in our community.
“After attending several of Ron’s Roundtable sessions, I met Tiffany Mcveety, who was a guest speaker and teaches entrepreneurship at SSC. My sister and I spent nine months on a novel idea and took all of the steps necessary to start a business and a full-fledged business plan. Though I shelved the idea in October of 2014, the process enabled me to start Annie's Walk and Talk that December. Simply dog walking and pet sitting. I knew I needed another stream of income that was dog oriented and something of consequence that I believed in. In March of 2015, I found the perfect company to help fulfill my wishes. Using a direct sales model, PawTree offers a customized nutrition program that utilizes an algorithm to identify the best food/dry kibble and supplements for your dog’s needs.” -Ann Conklin

Progress on the proposed Point Wells project keeps getting slower.
A Snohomish County planning official said Monday that the county expects to release its draft environmental impact statement for the project in July rather than in June as reported here a month ago.
After the county releases the draft statement there will be a 45-day period for comments before officials start work on a final environmental impact statement.
County Planner Ryan Countryman said that the draft statement won’t have information about developer BSRE’s response to a request for plans to meet a requirement for a second road to and from the proposed condominium development.
Developer BSRE has proposed building 3,081 condominium units along with 125,000 square feet of retail and commercial space on the industrial site in southwest Snohomish County across the King-Snohomish county line from Richmond Beach. The site is within the urban growth area of the Town of Woodway in southwest Snohomish County.
He said that the developer still hasn’t replied to questions about the correct number of condominium units, the correct number of parking spaces and a second road.
Snohomish County’s fire code requires at least two ways into and out of any large residential development.
