📰 In the news

Funding to rebuild and recover: SBA’s Disaster Loan Outreach Center is now open at the Snohomish Library to help local December flood victims. Saturday hours started March 7. Physical damage applications are due April 27 — find hours, eligibility, and deadlines.

Ribbon-cutting draws big crowd: Tapped Public House has opened at Port of Everett’s Waterfront Place, its fourth location, serving Pacific Northwest dishes with craft beer, cider, and wine, adding to waterfront lineup near Marysville — see what’s planned next.

Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Highlights this week:

• Dads and daughters dine and dance

🫶 We got your back

Banh mi, anyone? Yummy Deli nails quick lunch or no-cook dinner with fresh, made-to-order Vietnamese sandwiches like grilled pork, BBQ pork, or beef, plus pho and bubble tea. Dine in or grab-and-go. Always tasty, ideal for easy wins all week.

Weekday sanity stroll: Between rolling lawns, kid-friendly play areas, and winding trails along Allen Creek, Jennings Memorial Park makes an easy low-effort, high-happiness break. Bring coffee, wander the loop, peek at the WSU master garden, and tell yourself this calm corner might become your weekday reset.

RC joy, unlocked: Because screen time can’t outrun a good old-fashioned throttle, Got RC is the neighborhood hub for remote-control fun and friendly know-how. Expect shiny rigs, tip swaps with longtime enthusiasts, and a weekend project the whole household will ‘borrow’… then pretend it’s for the kids.

Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →

Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →

Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance? 🚗

Premiums have been climbing across Washington but most folks won’t notice until they’re hit with a higher bill when it’s time to renew.

That’s exactly what happened to me. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, it was out of sight and out of mind. Turns out I was blindly paying way more than everyone else I knew.

If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too – here’s the comparison tool I used.

This house is wild

This east-facing 2022 build pairs thoughtful upgrades with easy entertaining. Cat6 in every room, PoE lines, Lutron Caseta lighting, and provisions for two EV chargers. The finished basement features mini-splits, a projector-ready theater with wiring to a closet, and a wet bar. Outside, a fenced yard offers a patio, backyard kitchen area, and fruit trees, near YMCA, outlets, and trails.
