In today’s happening-today edition: Swan Lake, Jane Austen Unscripted, a one-hour Kazoku tasting, and more. + events worth checking out today & tomorrow.
From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Washington drivers end up paying higher auto insurance premiums because they don’t shop around enough. The same driver with the same car can get wildly different quotes from different insurers, so it truly pays to compare. Their free tool makes it easy.*

Expanded activities across the islands: Island families formed the first all-islands club volleyball team, while Puget Sound Express will launch a full-day Edmonds to Friday Harbor whale tour operating May 1 through September 7, 2026 — read the full story.
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.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*
Highlights this week:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Fries that actually crunch: SPUD Fish & Chips turns humble spuds into golden, fluffy‑inside fries, made from Pasco and Idaho potatoes and fried to order. Crisp on the outside, tender within, they shine alongside anything on the menu or stand proudly solo at this ferry‑side staple.
Skin tune-up time: From Botox, SkinPen microneedling, and laser resurfacing to CoolSculpting, PUR Skin Clinic delivers medical-grade results with an easy, neighborly touch. Think of it as smart self-maintenance… subtle, smoothing, confidence-boosting. Future-you will thank current-you in the mirror, no filter required.
Midweek birdie break: Terrace Creek Park weaves 18 baskets through a woodsy greenbelt locals dub “Candy Cane Park,” perfect for a focused loop between errands or after work. Dial in your lines, snag a few birdies, and call it a micro win, no long drive required.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Last call for the CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Today’s your last chance to save on all sorts of self-care products at CVS, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale before it ends →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
