Cars on display at Drag Strip Reunion By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Dragsters and other cars were displayed at the Arlington Airport Field as part of the annual Drag Strip Reunion and Car Show on Sept. 7. The 16th year of the
show brought people down to look and talk about cars. "It's going great and it's not raining," said Bill Kinney, one of the main organizers of the event. "We're getting close to 500 cars now." See REUNION on page 2
Summer break is officially over as local schools welcomed back their students for the next year of instruction on Sept. 4. Students said they were nervous and excited to start a new school year. “I’m pretty excited for being a junior. I’m almost done with high school,” said Cheyenne Moog, an 11th grader at Marysville Getchell High School. “I'm looking forward to my new teachers and seeing all my friends again,” she said. Arlington parent Sarah Behrman said that her children were excited to get started again. “They were up early and raring to go,” she said. Parents also had mixed feelings about dropping off their students for another year. “It’s a little bit bittersweet. He’s heading upstairs See SCHOOLS on page 7

Local Arlington vendors, food trucks and community members gathered for the Arlington Harvest Fest held on Sept. 7. This is the second year that vendors from the Arlington Farmers Market and food trucks have gathered in the evening to put on an end of summer event. The Harvest Fest is organized by the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce. "It's going fabulous. We have a huge farmers market, a bunch of food trucks and the crowd is really starting to pick up," said
Jennifer Egger, executive director of the chamber. The Harvest Fest is meant to provide a community event for the end of summer where people can gather and have fun, said Egger. "This is a great way for us to wrap up the summer and all the fun activities that we have here. We just wanted there to be one more opportunity for the community to get together, eat some great food, hang out and check out some of our local breweries."

They're going to push it through the crowd," said Kinney. The event is run by volunteers and is meant as a fundraiser for local organizations. "Nobody keeps any money off this. Obviously there's a few expenses, such as renting the field," said Kinney. Kinney started the event as way to help the local Arlington Boys & Girls Club. "I started it 16 years ago with Jim Howell, who left us a couple of years ago, as a fundraiser for the Arlington Boys & Girls Club. We're getting close to $150,000 we've donated to the club and other charities throughout the years," he said.

Eagle Scout project helps Strawberry Festival By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

Jeff Thomas is Marysville's new Community Development Director.
Marysville welcomes new Community Development Director Welcome to Jeff Thomas, Marysville's new Community Development Director. Thomas previously was Community Development Director for the cities of Sammamish and Bellingham, and has private and public sector planning experience. "We believe Jeff will be an amazing leader for the department," Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima said. "The city is poised for continued growth and we need strong leadership to guide complex land use decisions, planning and public policy." Thomas said, “Coming to Marysville is a great opportunity to help the city implement a lot of great planning work already underway.” As the second largest city in Snohomish County and one of the fastest growing cities in the state, Marysville is planning for continued growth. Today Marysville has about 70,000 residents and is projected to add another 19,000 by 2035 with the need to accommodate homes and city services for new residents. In addition, city priorities for economic development include the attraction of new businesses to the Cascade Industrial Center in north Marysville and the redevelopment of the city’s Ebey Waterfront area. Thomas has been on the job in Marysville since Aug. 12. He replaces Dave Koenig, who retired in June after serving four years with the city. Thomas earned a Master of Public Administration from Seattle University and a bachelor’s degree in Geography from University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada.
Local Eagle Scout Lee Hall built and installed multiple shelves for the new Strawberry Festival office in downtown Marysville for his Eagle Scout project this summer. “I built three shelves for the Strawberry Festival to help with their storage,” said Hall. Hall said he talked to Strawberry Festival volunteers to find out what he could do to help. “I came here and gave them some calls and they said they could use some shelves so I got to work,” he said. The large shelves help to store a lot of the materials that festival volunteers keep between festivals. They were built from scratch by Hall and his troop and took about a

month and half to finish. “I went to E&E Lumber and I got the supplies. I got them for a very good deal because I talked about how it was for an Eagle Scout project,” he said. Hall had a lot of help from his fellow Scouts and family members. “I got tons of support,” he said. “My dad, mom, sisters and my entire troop.” He said he enjoyed helping to build the shelves with his fellow Scouts. Eagle Scout projects are meant to be collaborative to help show Scouts how to help the community. “They helped screw down the plywood and sand the entire thing,” and helped to make sure that they were stable and able to hold a good amount of weight. “Three of us could stand on top of the shelf and it wouldn’t fall down,” he said. Hall’s fellow Scouts also
helped to move the shelves to the Strawberry Festival office. “We had one 10-foot trailer and it just barely fit in there,” with about half an inch of leeway, Hall said. “We moved each one individually to here and brought them to this spot,” he said. Each shelf weighed about 400 pounds, so it wasn’t an easy task. “We moved them with brute force. We had about six kids and two adults,” said Hall. Hall said he has been to the Strawberry Festival and their parade many times and wanted to give back to the community by helping them. “I like everyone’s attitude and the tone of the parade. Everyone’s very friendly,” he said. “Strawberry Festival is very important to this com-

Chargers fall to Shorecrest 14-12 By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Marysville Getchell football team opened their season with a matchup against the Shorecrest Scots on Sept. 6. The Scots received the
kickoff and began marching down the field as the Chargers started to slow down their run. However, after only gaining a few yards in back-to-back attempts, Shorecrest took a shot over the top and were taken down

on the one-yard line. After scoring within the first four minutes of the game, the Scots were up 7-0. Marysville Getchell couldn’t get their offense going and were forced to punt shortly after. Before the end of the quarter, Shorecrest scored once again with a run to lead 140. Through the rest of the half the Chargers defense caught fire, forcing two turnovers and keeping the Scots at 14 points. Marysville Getchell came out as a completely different team in the second half as they found a rhythm in their ground game and marched down the field. They found a hole in the Shorecrest defense and scored on a long 36yard run. After a blocked PAT they closed the gap, 14-6. Immediately after, the Chargers forced a turnover and scored on a short run, followed by a failed twopoint conversion. For the rest of the game both teams fought back and forth, but neither of them were able to get into the end zone. Shorecrest ended up walking
away with the 14-12 victory. When asked about the team’s response after falling behind early, Chargers’ Head Coach Davis Lura said, “the great thing about being at this school is that our tradition is to work hard, no matter the score, and have great character. I think we showed that tonight.” The Chargers’ two-way starter junior Cheron Smith dominated on both sides of the ball all game. He led the team with 100 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown on offense to go along with a game-high 11 tackles and a tackle for loss. Three more big-time players were seniors Phillip Melomey, Garrett Devereux and junior Landyn Olson. Melomey, receiver/linebacker, rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown to go with his two tackles. Devereux, receiver/safety, finished the game with four tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass deflection. Olson, receiver/ defensive back, made plays all over the field as he had two receptions, 30 receiving

The most important thing for us tonight was to stay patient and let our
ground game open up everything else,” said Coach Lura. The Chargers' next home game will be against the Ferndale Golden Eagles on Friday, Sept. 20, at 7 p.m.

Seniors lead Tomahawks on the pitch By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com
After a down year last season, the Marysville-Pilchuck girls soccer team is looking to bounce back to the top half of the division. The Tomahawks opened up last year with a win but began to have up-anddown performances as they
finished with a division record of 3-10-1 and an overall record of 4-11-1. They finished the season with a rough stretch as they went 1-4 over their final five matches. In the offseason, Marysville-Pilchuck graduated five seniors including their long-time star and 2018 Fiji National Team member Trina Davis.
“We have a team that’s played together a lot and a good mix of freshmen. We have some really strong forwards, but we’ll be starting some young players, so we just need to get them up to speed. Right now, we’re just trying to ramp things up and I think we’ll be competitive,” said Marysville-Pilchuck Head Coach

Paul Bartley. Going into this season the Tomahawks will have a strong senior class led by their captains Mackensie Connelly, Kaila LinayaoBeau and Brynn Pilkenton. Connelly, forward, will be the team’s main scoring threat as she is one of the best strikers in the division and was an Honorable Mention All-League member last season. LinayaoBeau, mid, will organize the offense of MarysvillePilchuck as she will be looked at as the distributor. Pilkenton, defender, is going to be the leader of the defense with a lot of youth behind her. Last season she also finished as an Honorable Mention All-League member. Alongside the other seniors, Veronika Taylor will also be a huge contributor on the defense as she closed out the year as the final Tomahawk to be an Honorable Mention All-League player. If you want to come out and cheer on the Tomahawks their first home match of the season will be against the Mariner Marauders on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m.
Arlington volleyball looks to improve on last year's success By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Arlington volleyball team is working hard in the gym as they are projected to be one of the best teams in the area. With a young squad last season the Eagles were very successful as they held a 10-4 division record and an overall record of 10-6. After a strong
regular season, they fell short in the 3A District Playoffs with back-to-back losses that ended their season. During the offseason, Arlington only graduated two seniors from the team and are looking forward to a strong start behind an experienced roster. “We came into this season with 12 returners essentially, so we were able to hit the ground running from the

first day. It’s a huge advantage because we are able to start refining our game at an earlier stage of the season. These girls are really hungry, and they are ready to redeem what we think last year could have been,” said Arlington Head Coach Whitney Williams. With three seniors on their front line, the Eagles will be a force this season behind their size and athleticism. Their two seniors on the outside will be Arianna Bilby and Reese Talbot. Bilby has a reputation as being one of the best hitters across the league, finishing the 2017 season as a First-Team All-League member. Talbot has been placed all over the court and has made a lot of plays above the net as she was an Honorable Mention All-League member in 2017. In the middle, Julia Parra is going to be huge on the defensive end as she was recognized as an Honorable Mention All-League last season. Behind their upperclassmen, the Eagles will have a roster full of six juniors and three sophomores who have all played at the varsity level. “We have a really unique group this year and all of them take ownership of their roles. We only have three seniors this season, but from top to bottom there is a lot of experience and talent,” said Coach Williams. If you want to support the Eagles their first home match of the season will be against Shorecrest Scots on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m.

need be and turn around and sell it," he said. The store in Smokey Point will sell building materials, furniture and appliances, as well as accept donations of those items. "About the only thing we don't do are dishwashers, mostly because there's a lead standard that's about five-year-old that the older ones no longer meet," said Johnson. Once they start receiving dishwashers that do meet the new standards they'll be available at the store, he said.
Habitat for Humanity of Snohomish County opened a new thrift shop in Smokey Point on Sept. 7. This is the third store they have opened in the county to raise funds. It is located at 17020 Smokey Point Blvd., Arlington. "The stores are a fundraiser for us," said Roger Johnson, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Snohomish County.

There are other outdated items that the store doesn't carry, like traditional entertainment centers meant for big boxy televisions. "No one wants them anymore," said Johnson. The Habitat for Humanity stores offer a thrift shop experience focused on items for the home, and many of the stores have repeat customers who like looking for 'treasure' each week, said Johnson. "The public gets good quality stuff to do home projects with. I've known several cases where people started a project, like a kitchen remodel, here because they can get kitchen cabinets here for cheap," he said. The profits from the thrift store go toward local projects. "The proceeds are used to support our work here in Snohomish County," said Johnson. "We're a Snohomish County affiliate so our work is here." Currently the organization is working on projects like a home in Gold Bar and a community of homes in south Everett. "We're working on the permits and civil engineering for a 25 home property in Everett," said Johnson. The organization uses a model where the homeowners help build their homes. "The homeowners put in

"They all know each other by the end of the project so it really sets them up to be a community," he said. The program model has been successful in building homes that people will be able to build a future in, said Johnson.
"In 25 years we've now had four pay off their mortgages and none have sold their homes. They're all still in them," he said. The program provides affordable mortgages to help people afford homes they might not be able to otherwise. "Their mortgage is tailored not to go over 30 percent of their income … a

Meet emergency management officials at movie night By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Marysville will host a free showing of the 1996 film “Twister” and offer a chance for locals to connect with the city’s emergency management team on Sept. 12. The film follows a group of storm chasers who investigate a tornadoes in Oklahoma. The free event will be held at the Marysville Opera House at 1225 3rd St., Marysville. Doors open at 6 p.m. The film starts at 6:30 p.m. The film is recommended for those 6-years-old and up.

and is a third grader now,” said Arlington parent Stephanie Jean-Louis. Behrman said the new year has brought changes and transition as well. “It’s weird because my older daughter is going to Haller, so this is the first time it’s not all three of them,” she said. “Madison [Behrman’s other daughter] gets to be in fifth grade this year so it’s pretty exciting.” To help with changes and transition the Marysville School District tried something a little new this year by having most of their secondary schools have only sixth and ninth graders for the first day. At local middle schools upperclassmen in WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) helped the new students on the first day, and at high schools upperclassmen from the Link Crew did the same thing. “Last year we were getting feedback from community members and students about the challenges of transitioning,” said Rod Merrell, executive director of secondary schools at Marysville School District. “We wanted to be very intentional about what that transition looks like this year,” he said. Merrell convinced the school board to try a day just for sixth and ninth graders this year. “The research shows that these programs are effective in allowing sixth and ninth graders a day where they are the only ones there,” said Jason Thompson, Superintendent of the district. “They build relationships and hopefully reduce bullying … and they get connected to a mentor,” he said. Merrell said this could become a program they do next year as well. “Our hope is to give an update to the board later and bring this back again next year. We were very lucky that the board was supportive of trying something a little out of the box this year,” he said.
City officials wanted to show the film as a way to get out into the community. “We want to connect with the community as often as possible,” said Jenn Brown, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for the city. Brown is still fairly new to the job which she started earlier this year. “This is an excellent time for me to meet the community,” she said. City officials like Brown will be able to talk to attendees about a number of issues related to disas-
Marysville and Arlington school officials said the first week went well. “From my perspective the first day went very well,” said Thompson. “The schools were operating like they hadn’t missed a beat.” Arlington Superintendent Chrys Sweeting rode one of the district’s buses with students for the first day. “We had a very exciting start for the first week,” she said. “It was very positive and staff and students were excited to be back." District officials are also excited for new and continuing programs at their schools. Both Marysville and Arlington will continue expanding opportunities for career and manufacturing instruction. The Regional Apprenticeship Pathways program is hosted in Marysville but serves students across the region and offers a new preapprenticeship program that connects directly with
ter preparedness. “We can talk about what we can do to prepare,” she said. “We’ll be available before and after the film for anyone to talk with us.” She hopes that people begin to have an overall emergency plan and build emergency kits for their car, for home and for work. “If something occurs at home or at work we want to make sure you’re better prepared,” she said. Preparing for a disaster is one of the most important parts of recovery if something happened in Marysville. “Oftentimes most people be-
regional apprenticeships. “We’ve heard clearly from our community that they want opportunities for our students,” said Thompson. Arlington schools are looking at similar initiatives. “We’re looking to increase our career, vocation and STEM education,” said Sweeting, who added both middle schools will have programs this year. “We’ll have a lot of activities going on at Haller Middle School,” she said. “We also want to build connections with industry to help open doors for students,” she said. Both districts are making efforts to improve inclusion as well. “Our early learning campus has been merged into a inclusion model,” said Tracy Souza, executive director of human resources at the Marysville School District. Pre-school students with
developmental disabilities and those without disabilities are now all on the same campus. Souza said research shows how that helps with empathy for most students and helps those with disabilities as well. “Typical developing children get that understanding and acceptance of those who have that delay or that need specially-designed instruction,” she said. Sweeting said that Arlington schools are working on culturally responsive practices as well. “We want teachers to have an awareness of the variables that can affect a student’s learning, such as poverty, trauma or institutional racism,” she said. “We want better understanding and awareness to help us understand the learning needs of students.” Both districts also have community committees that will work on important

lieve that resiliency comes from how you respond to disaster,” she said. “What the research show and what I believe is that resiliency comes from how you prepare and the steps you take to lessen the negative outcomes.” People can learn about how the city can help them prepare for a disaster as well at the event. “We’re here to help you prepare and help you recover,” said Brown. Additionally, Brown also hopes to learn what the community needs. “I want to hear what they want

from us as well,” she said, “where the strengths and gaps of the community are when it comes to disaster preparedness.” Brown said that it will be a family oriented film night and hopes that people come out to meet their local officials. “I’m really excited for the film, it’s one of my favorites. It’s actually one of the reasons I do what I do,” she said, as she saw the film in high school and was inspired to pursue a career related to disasters. Popcorn and refreshments will be available for a suggested donation at the event.

Reducing waste a priority for Snohomish County
Reducing waste is a top focus of the Snohomish County Council. There are multiple ways we have been working to reduce or eliminate waste in our county. The first is in our annual county budget, where we strive to increase efficiency by stretching your tax dollars to ensure that you are getting the most “bang for your buck” in terms of county services. This is reflected in our past two county budgets, where we have worked to increase efficiency and reduce waste in order to avoid increases in general levy property taxes for local residents. We also make a priority of reducing physical waste in Snohomish County. We are blessed to live in a place with such beautiful natural scenery, from the Puget Sound to the Cascade Mountains and everything in between. This is one of the biggest draws to Snohomish County and so it is important that we work to conserve it. An initiative I have been working on over the last several months looks to increase access to our local businesses and encourage a healthy lifestyle while reducing the amount of plastic we discard. This effort is called “Snohomish County Tap”. Snohomish County Tap is a partnership between my office, Zero Waste Washington, the Snohomish Health District, and
Nate Nehring
TapApp. TapApp is an app which identifies businesses and other public locations that will refill a reusable water bottle at no charge. The app can show users the locations closest to them which provide free water bottle refills. The partnership between these groups is bringing this effort to Snohomish County with branding and a large stakeholder group to spread the word and encourage more people to ditch plastic water bottles and use reusable water bottles instead. On June 4th, a large group of stakeholders from local Chambers of Commerce, business, local government, community groups, and schools met to discuss this effort. At the meeting we had presenters from Zero Waste Washington, the Snohomish Health District, and Economic Alliance of Snohomish County to talk about the benefits of a program like this. This initiative to encourage reusable water bottles at local businesses and public
places helps conserve our beautiful surroundings, encourages healthy living, and provides greater opportunity to access local businesses. We are working with our partners to provide decals to the businesses and locations who participate and water bottles with the Snohomish County Tap logo to spread the word and encourage reusable water bottle use. I am encouraged by the support and enthusiasm we have seen so far. We are working on a kickoff event which will include a community service component to start the program and get the word out about our effort. Information about that event will be available in the coming weeks. It is always great to work with partners like those involved with Snohomish County Tap. When we can come together to do good work that can benefit everyone, improve public health and reduce waste, it is a win-win-win. I look forward to seeing this program move forward and the benefits it can bring. Nate Nehring is a member of the Snohomish County Council and represents District 1 which includes Arlington, Darrington, Granite Falls, Marysville, Stanwood, and unincorporated north county. He can be reached by email at Nate.Nehring@snoco.org or by phone at (425) 388-3494.

Vehicles on display at Touch a Truck By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Kids will be able to get close to garbage trucks, public works vehicles, buses and other large trucks during the city of Marysville’s annual Touch a Truck event. The free event will be held on Sept. 14 at Asbery Field, next to Totem Middle School. It is held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is free for all ages. Pets are not allowed at the event. The final hour of the event, from noon to 1 p.m., is the quiet hour where no horns will be set off. “Kids of all ages will be able to get up close to these vehicles, get in the driver’s seat and honk the horn,” said Andrea Kingsford, recreation coordinator with the city of Marysville. The event is an opportunity for kids to get into the trucks they normally only see from far away. “So often we see these vehicles working in the city but this is an opportunity to actually get to see them and talk to the workers who drive them everyday,” said Kingsford. A variety of vehicles are scheduled to come down to the event. “We are excited to have a lot of our returning trucks and organizations,” said Kingsford. Those include Marysville School District which plans to bring a school bus and the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s office who plan to bring one of their vehicles. “Marysville Police Department will be there with their Bearcat vehicle,” said Kingsford. A number of trucks from Marysville’s Public Works Department will be out at the event as well, including a street sweeper, a sewer camera truck and one of the city’s garbage trucks. “And that one is normally quite popular,” said Kingsford. Many locals like the event because they

rarely get a chance to see the trucks featured at the event. “Families love the event because it is so unique,” said Kingsford. It’s also a good way to usher in September and the end of summer break, she said. “It’s a great start to the school year.” Games for kids are also available at the event and a number of volunteer organizations help run Touch a Truck. “We have other organizations there such as Camp Fire, the Cub Scouts and Kiwanis, and they all help make the event fun,” said Kingsford. “We will have the Rotary train driving people around the field and families always like that,” said Kingsford. The event is free but attendees are encouraged to bring a donation for the Marysville Community Food Bank which will be there as well. Kingsford wanted to thank all the organizations that support the event or bring their trucks for the kids to see.

Concert series returns to Opera House By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
Marysville’s local concert series, Live at the OH, returns on Sept. 19 after it’s summer break to bring more music to the downtown Opera House. The series brings music to the Marysville Opera House at 1225 Third St., Marysville, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each week. The cost is $5 at the door. “Live at the OH is just a couple of hours of great, laid-back, local music,” said Lauren Woodmansee, cultural arts supervisor for the Marysville Parks, Culture and Recreation Department. “This is a really fun way to kickstart the weekend,” she said. The series has been going on for three years at the Marysville Opera House, although it was under a different name for its first year. “I think people like that it is local
and it starts at 5:30 p.m. and gets out by 7:30 p.m.,” said Woodmansee. This year the concert series took a summer break because typically the summer performances have had low attendance, said Woodmansee. “We had the summer off because there were a lot of other music events and activities going on,” she said. “What we’ve found is that there are so many other community events that people usually want to go to those,” she said. The concert series returns on Sept. 19. “For our first concert back we are returning with one of our favorites: the Margaret Wilder Band,” said Woodmansee. She said they play a mix of blues, funk and rock and roll. Coming later in the year are The Blues Project with John Carswell on Oct. 17 and Chris Eger and Cory Vincent on Nov. 19. The city of Marysville also involves
some local organizations which use the event as a fundraiser. “Our community partner is the Marysville Kiwanis,” she said. “They have a great selection of beer and wine for $5.” Those funds go back to the Kiwanis Club. “They keep 100 percent of the proceeds which go toward their organization and what they do for the community,” said Woodmansee. Snacks and nonalcoholic beverages are also available at the concerts, said Woodmansee. The event is sponsored by local realty group TEAM Costa, who were one of the first sponsors for events at the Opera House. “They are very much a supporter of live music in Marysville,” said Woodmansee. More information about events happening at the Marysville Opera House and elsewhere in the city is available at marysvillewa.gov.

in partial shade or even full sun, provided you don’t let it dry out. The plant itself will reach 3 feet tall by September and will bloom for almost 2 months, starting as early as mid-August. Japanese anemones will spread slowly throughout the garden and can colonize an area if left unchecked. I routinely pull out any unwanted runners so they don’t overtake the rest of my plants. (I have a rule that no plant can have more than its allotted space so that I can enjoy the maximum amount of variety in my yard.) Don’t be afraid to pull out what you don’t want. There are many varieties of Japanese Anemones on the market and most of them are either white or shades of pink. The one in my garden that has brought me years
of enjoyment is a white one called ‘Honorine Jobert’. It has single white flowers with yellow centers and brightens up my shady border quite nicely. Here a few other flavors to try. Wild Swan — This one came out a few years back and is white like ‘Honorine’ but has the added attraction of blue-violet undersides of the petals — which are simply stunning in my humble opinion. Pink Kiss — A floriferous dwarf Anemone growing only about 10 inches tall that is a great choice for pots, small gardens, or the front of the border. Its flower buds are a deep maroon and open to a perfect single pink flower fading to a softer pink with age. Lucky Charm — The

Flowers are deep rich pink with very dark purple, almost black stems. It grows to a typical 2 to 3 feet tall. All of these selections will be quite happy in a shady border, such as on the north side of the house or in a woodland setting where they get dappled shade. Like
I said above, you can even plant them in full sun as long as the soil is rich, full of organic matter, and never dries out. Have some fun this fall with these tried and true late summer bloomers. You’ll be rewarded for years to come.
