The weather was just a little warmer on Sunday, March 15, 2026 so the crowd of sign-wavers was larger than the previous week.

This sign refers to Trump removing sanctions on Russia in spite of Putin providing aid to Iran.

The street was lined with people and homemade signs. They are, contrary to some commenters, definitely not paid, and for the most part, they make their own signs.

They are scheduled for one more Sunday in March on the 22nd. The following weekend is a national No King protest on Saturday March 28, 2026.

Edward Jones takes #1 spot in Advised Investor Satisfaction in the JD Power 2026 U.S. investor satisfaction study

Suzan Shayler, Edward Jones, 19270 Aurora,
has been named a 2025-2026 Best-in-State
Top Women Wealth Advisor
(206) 542-2599

St. Louis, March 18, 2026 - Edward Jones, a leading financial services firm, has reclaimed the No. 1 spot among 23 advice-based firms in the JD Power 2026 U.S. Investor Satisfaction Study(SM), marking the first time the firm has earned the top rank since 2021. 

This achievement reflects meaningful progress in Edward Jones' journey to deliver comprehensive advice and planning and expanded products and services to serve more clients, more completely.

"We are incredibly grateful for the trust our clients place in Edward Jones and honored to be recognized for the care and guidance they receive from our teams," said Penny Pennington, Managing Partner at Edward Jones.

"This top ranking is meaningful because it reflects the deep, trusted relationships our clients have with our financial advisors, and the impact our practice teams have in helping clients and their families move toward financial fulfillment with confidence."

Edward Jones achieved Best-in-Class performance in four of the seven most influential dimensions of investor satisfaction, including trust, people, products meeting client needs and ease of doing business, all while continuing to enhance its digital capabilities and value for fees paid. 

The firm earned an Overall Satisfaction score of 754 on a 1,000-point scale, one of only three firms scoring significantly above the advised-industry average of 725. The results underscore the strength of Edward Jones' relationship-based model and the trust clients place in the firm in an increasingly competitive landscape.

The firm's financial advisors take a personalized, relationship-driven approach by partnering with clients to learn about their goals, priorities and life circumstances before developing tailored financial strategies. 

Supported by the firm's financial planning capabilities, investment solutions and digital tools, this model is designed to deliver advice that evolves with clients over time and helps them stay focused on achieving their long-term financial goals.

In recent years, the firm has invested in advanced technology, financial advisor education and a range of new product offerings to help improve the financial advisor experience and better meet clients' needs. 

This includes integrated banking capabilities, expanded private-client wealth services and alternative investments, and new portfolio-management technology to support personalized managed accounts. 

The firm also launched Edward Jones Ventures to invest in and incubate innovations that can enhance financial planning, advisor capabilities and client experiences.

"This recognition belongs to associates across Edward Jones, from practice teams to our regional and home office colleagues, who work together every day to help clients navigate complex and personal financial decisions," said David Gunn, Principal, Head of U.S. and Canada Business Units at Edward Jones.

"Regaining the number-one position reflects our commitment to expanding choice and deepening partnerships, all to help our clients pursue their unique financial goals with greater clarity and confidence."

The study evaluates the experiences of investors working with a wealth management firm, in either an advised or DIY capacity in seven dimensions (in alphabetical order): digital channels; ease of doing business; people; product and service offerings; resolving problems or complaints; trust; and value for fees paid.

The JD Power 2026 U.S. Investor Satisfaction Study(SM) was fielded from January 2025 through January 2026 and is based on responses from 7,982 advised and 4,335 DIY investors. For more information, visit jdpower.com/awards.

Shoreline PTA Legislative report

Washington State PTA operates on two major principles:

1. Every child - one voice
2. It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex.

The first is from National PTA and applies to all units in the U.S. The second is in the Washington state constitution.

Shoreline PTA report on the recently completed legislative session in Washington state

The 2026 legislative session ended March 12, 2026. Our LD1 and LD32 legislators deserve genuine thanks for important wins — and an honest look at what still needs to happen for Shoreline's students.

What went right:

• School districts were exempted from last year's unintended services tax (ESSB 5814), effective July 1, 2026 — real and meaningful relief

What fell short:

• The final budget cut more than $80 million from K-12 statewide — while passing a tax that won't collect until 2029
• Transition to Kindergarten cut 33%; bus depreciation extended; Local Effort Assistance cut; Running Start reduced
• Persistent gaps in MSOC (Materials, Supplies, & Operating Costs), Special Education, and Transportation remain unfilled
• ESSB 6346 (Millionaire's tax) revenue is not legally dedicated to K-12 — intent language is nonbinding

Shoreline voters just passed two levies in six months to cover what the state won't fund. Not every community can do that. Our students can't wait until 2029.

Last week, the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force (SRDTF), in partnership with the Everett Police Department’s Anti-Crime Team (ACT), arrested a 63-year-old Mountlake Terrace man on multiple charges, including possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, and suboxone strips.

The arrest followed an investigation that began in mid-2025. 

As part of the operation, detectives executed two search warrants, one at a residence in the 4500 block of 229th Place SW in Mountlake Terrace, and another in the 2700 block of NE 125th Street in Seattle.

During the two residential search warrants, detectives seized:

• Fentanyl powder: 923 grams (over 2 pounds)
• Fentanyl pills (“blues”): 312.9 grams
• Methamphetamine: 962.4 grams (over 2 pounds)
• Suboxone strips: 1,326.5 grams (hundreds of individual strips)
• Cash: $2,606

This investigation highlights the strength of collaboration between the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force and the Everett Police Department in removing dangerous drugs from the community and holding mid-level drug traffickers accountable in Snohomish County.

This remains an active investigation.

Master Gardeners: A Gentle Invitation to Begin Again

Pixaby

By Marie Kurka-Brown

Master Gardener Foundation

There’s something quietly magical about stepping into a garden. 

Before anything grows, before a single seed is tucked into the soil, there’s a sense of possibility in the air — a feeling that this small patch of earth could become something beautiful. 

Life often feels the same way.

We’re handed moments, seasons, and opportunities that invite us to begin again, to stretch, to root, to bloom.

Imagine standing at the edge of your garden-to-be. The soil is cool and dark, waiting for your hands. Maybe you already know what you want to plant — tomatoes warm from the sun, herbs that release their scent with the slightest touch, flowers that open like little celebrations.

Or maybe you’re simply curious, ready to see what might happen if you give yourself permission to try.

That’s the quiet invitation gardening offers: start where you are, with what you have, and see what grows. 

As a WSU Extension Master Gardener, I'm personally inviting you to visit one of our demonstration gardens in 2026, Most of our demonstration gardens welcome visitors from April through November, though each site follows its own seasonal rhythm. 

Cabbage photo courtesy Couleur

It’s always wise to confirm current hours and details online before you head out. 

If you’d like to explore what’s growing in your own community, these King County Master Gardener demonstration gardens offer inspiration, education, and a chance to see sustainable gardening practices in action:

King County Master Gardener Demonstration Gardens

Animal Acres Demonstration Garden A peaceful neighborhood space showcasing sustainable practices and plants that thrive in our local climate.

Bellevue Demonstration Garden A vibrant teaching garden where visitors can explore vegetable beds, ornamentals, and hands‑on gardening techniques.

Carkeek Park Demonstration Gardens A collection of coastal‑inspired beds highlighting native plants and environmentally friendly gardening near Puget Sound.

Cesar Chavez Demonstration Garden A community‑centered garden celebrating food, culture, and accessible growing practices for all ages.

Magnuson Children’s Garden A whimsical, interactive space designed to spark curiosity and help young gardeners discover the joy of plants.

Neely Soames Homestead Demonstronstration Garden A historic riverside garden blending heritage plantings with modern sustainable gardening methods.

Ronald McDonald House Outreach Garden A healing, supportive space where families can enjoy fresh produce and the comfort of a living, growing landscape.

Shorewood High School Culinary Arts Garden A student‑driven garden where edible plants support culinary education and inspire future gardeners.

Soos Creek Demonstration Garden A serene, expansive garden featuring themed beds, native plants, and examples of water‑wise gardening.

Thyme Patch Park Demonstration Garden A charming pocket garden filled with herbs, pollinator plants, and ideas for small‑space gardening.

Tribal Life Trail Demonstration Garden A culturally rich garden honoring Indigenous plant knowledge and the traditional uses of native species.

Vashon Demonstration Garden at Mukai Farm and Garden A beautifully restored island garden blending history, community, and practical gardening inspiration.

You can learn more about each site — including locations, seasonal hours, and volunteer opportunities — at the King County Master Gardener demonstration gardens page

As you press seeds into the earth, you’re doing more than beginning a garden. You’re giving yourself a reason to step outside, breathe fresh air, and move your body in a way that feels grounding. 

You’re creating a space that asks nothing of you except presence — a few minutes of watering, a moment to check on new sprouts, a pause to appreciate how much can change in a week.

And those early sprouts? They’re a reminder that growth doesn’t need to be rushed. Seedlings take their time. They lean toward the sun, strengthen slowly, and surprise you when you least expect it. There’s
comfort in that rhythm. It’s a gentle nudge to be patient with yourself, too.

Carrots photo courtesy Couleur

Of course, every garden has its challenges. Weeds appear, sometimes overnight, and you find yourself kneeling in the dirt, pulling them up one by one. 

But even this can feel strangely satisfying. Clearing space around your plants gives them room to breathe and thrive. It’s a small act of care that makes a big difference — and it mirrors the way we sometimes need to clear space in our own lives, letting go of what no longer supports us.

Then come the seasons. Spring’s excitement, summer’s abundance, autumn’s quiet harvest, winter’s rest. 

A garden teaches you to move with these cycles instead of against them. Some days are for planting, others for pruning, and some are simply for sitting back and enjoying what you’ve created. There’s no rush, no pressure, no perfect way to do it. Just the steady rhythm of tending and noticing.

And that’s the heart of gardening — not perfection, but participation.

When you plan your garden, you’re really planning moments of joy for your future self. The scent of basil on your fingers. The first ripe strawberry. The sound of bees drifting lazily from bloom to bloom. The
satisfaction of a meal made with something you grew. These small pleasures add up, reminding you that life’s beauty often comes from the simplest places.

So consider this your invitation. Step outside. Feel the sun on your shoulders. Turn over a patch of soil and imagine what it could become.

Whether you plant a single pot on a balcony or transform your whole backyard, you’re creating more than a garden — you’re creating space for yourself to breathe, to move, to hope, and to enjoy the world a little more.

Gardening doesn’t demand expertise. It asks only for curiosity, a bit of patience, and a willingness to get your hands dirty. And in return, it offers fresh air, gentle exercise, a sense of accomplishment, and
the quiet joy of watching something grow because you cared for it.

This season, let your garden — whatever shape it takes — be a reminder that life is full of beginnings. All you have to do is plant the first seed.

Shoreline City Council to hold public hearing on March 30 regarding removal of restrictive covenants on City-owned property located at 18351 10th Avenue NE

The Shoreline City Council will hold a public hearing, as required under RCW 35A.21.410, on Monday, March 30, 2026, at 7:00pm to receive comments (written or oral) on the removal of two restrictive covenants from property the City owns located at 18351 10th Avenue NE, Tax Parcel 616390-0120 (City’s Parcel). 

The property is currently, and will continue to be, used for surface water management in the area.

The restrictive covenants were placed on the City’s Parcel, along with 29 other parcels, by Evergreen Homes in 1947 as part of their development of the area. A local realtor is requesting all 26 property owners to agree to the removal of the restrictive covenants. 

The purpose of the public hearing is to give people an opportunity to provide input on whether the City Council should agree to the removal of the restrictive covenant on the City’s Parcel.

• The first restrictive covenant that the realtor seeks to remove limits development on the properties to single residences. This restrictive covenant is contrary to the MUR-70 zoning for the area. If 75% of the property owners agree to remove the covenant, it will be removed. The properties could then be consolidated for development under the City’s MUR-70 zoning.

• The second restrictive covenant the realtor is seeking to have removed is the racially restrictive covenant. While this covenant has been legally unenforceable under federal and state law since 1948, this action will remove it permanently from the list of restrictive covenants found on the property deeds.
