Shout Out!


Shout Out

"I read this great article in the Everett Herald about fellow Chamber member, Uncle Peteza's Pizzeria. I am glad I read it and love the idea of a small community event and thought other members would too." View Article 

Submitted by Holly Williams, Dynamic Strategies Inc.

"Shout out to Richard Olson at OlsonDesign for doing an outstanding job repairing a gold necklace I have worn daily for over 30 years --- and for replacing a baguette diamond I lost from one of my favorite rings. The pieces looked as good as new --- and the work was done in only a few days! Even better, he offered to take the unrepairable gold from the chain and use it as credit towards the cost of the repairs. I would highly recommend his outstanding work!"

Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law a bill that provides an additional pathway for students to access educational opportunities that lead to high demand science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers.

Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, introduced Senate Bill 5624 that aligns high-demand secondary STEM or Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs with applied baccalaureate programs.

"Community and technical colleges put STEM baccalaureate degrees within reach for our middle and lower class students," said McAuliffe, an unwavering STEM curriculum advocate. "This new law connects these students with the opportunity for in-demand careers by offering STEM degrees."
