“l, for one, I'm gonna be mourning the loss of that direct bus service. And as the Council has so consistently said, this community is really losing out again in the midst of all this expansion in other areas.
"And it's very disappointing… once again, Lake Forest Park is a drive through and it's very frustrating for us…”

"This is a Lynnwood Link Extension construction closure by Sound Transit. They updated their website today with information about the work that will be completed at https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WASOUND/bulletins/395e33b.
"The closure notice states that the end date will be April 29 which is an error. It must be reopened by April 28.
"The project coordinator listed on the classified ad is the best contact for this work: Jaybee Ragudo, c-jaybee.ragudo@soundtransit.org or 206-701-1469."
As early as Monday April 15, Sound Transit will be doing work that requires a full 24-hour road closure of NE 185th St from 5th Ave NE to 8th Ave NE as part of the implementation of the new NE 185th St road alignment.

When Shoreline Fire arrived on the scene, the Battalion Chief yelled to the Officers to get out of the building because of how quickly the fire was spreading.Officers yelled back that there were still people trapped inside and ran back into the burning building.

I know that I had the opportunity to thank many of the Officers personally at your incident debriefing on the 20th, but I felt compelled to follow that up with a letter of commendation. I listened to the incident and have discussed the call with a few different Officers that were at the fire.It seems very clear to me that not only did the Officers go above and beyond in their duties, but that they saved lives that night. And at risk to their own lives with four of them needing to go to the hospital. The residents in the complex were very blessed that the Officers were there on a separate incident when this fire broke out otherwise this fire could have been tragic.I do not want to minimize the damage that was done by the fire, but over the years I have seen incidents that would have resulted in far worse outcomes if it wasn’t for the actions of a few. This is one of them. Please pass along my sincere thanks to the Officers, and their Commanders for their heroic actions.
"There were 16 deputies from Shoreline, Kenmore and Metro Transit who showed up and risked their own lives saving the lives of people living in those apartments. In the course of doing that, four of the police officers were hospitalized for smoke inhalation. We wish the best to these officers and everyone else who was affected by this fire."

In President Biden’s 2022 proclamation, he expressed the impact such an education has on broader society. “The Rebbe’s work reminds us, in the words of the Prophet Amos, to “hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the gate.”
We each share a responsibility to live up to those words — in and out of the classroom — and to plant the seeds of love, kindness, and empathy in the hearts and minds of every child in America.

“White lilacs represent purity and innocence, while purple lilacs symbolize spirituality. If the blooms edge more on the blue side of the color wheel, they symbolize happiness and tranquility. Magenta lilacs symbolize love and passion.”--Lee Wolfe
