Happy weekend, Marysville!
In today’s happening-today edition: Historic 1934 bridge seeking a new home, USPS electric delivery rollout, a mystery photo turned sculpture, 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.*

📰 In the news
A 1934 span’s next chapter: Snohomish County is donating the historic Granite Falls Bridge 102 steel truss and seeking a home. Proposals from governments, nonprofits, or private groups are being accepted through August 27, 2026 — see how and when to apply.
Major mail service overhaul: USPS officials touted the upgraded Sorting and Delivery Center in nearby Everett, part of $21 billion in modernization, showcasing electric delivery vehicles and improvements to speed service for 122,000 customers — get all the details.
Photo memory brought to life: Near Marysville, the Port of Everett has unveiled a bronze sculpture by Kevin Pettelle at the Central Esplanade, inspired by a 1940s photo of a girl whose identity research revealed — learn who she was.
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 with feta energy: Kafé Neo turns the humble spud into a small celebration with Greek Fries, crispy and lemony, tossed with oregano and feta, plus that addictive Greek fry sauce. Feeling bold? Try Truffle Garlic Fries for an herby, garlicky twist that eats like an instant mood lift.
Glow-up without the fuss: Eyeing microneedling, subtle fillers, or PRP for skin and hair? Symmetria Integrative Medical delivers evidence-based care in Marysville from experienced medical providers, with tailored plans that fit your goals and schedule. Expect refined, natural-looking results your future self will appreciate.
Chain-chasing in the woods: If your week needs flight therapy, the scenic, wooded 18-hole disc golf course at Catherine Creek Park offers an easy reset, technical enough to keep you honest and mellow enough for friends who still call them frisbees. Toss, stroll, laugh… repeat among the trees and trails.
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 →
