Marysville voters, show that you care for students here in our fine town.

The single biggest way most of us help support and raise our children is through our schools. These schools are concrete expressions of the care and vision we have for the next generation and for the future of our community. The quality of each child’s school experience cannot be left up to…

The people of Snohomish County elected Adam Fortney as sheriff because they liked his promise to make the county a safer place. Now we hear that, even before all the votes are counted, the county executive Dave Somers wants to usurp the management of the jail from the elected sheriff. The ra…

I've had the privilege of knowing Kelly Richards all my life (disclaimer here: I am Kelly's cousin).

My family moved to Marysville in 1989 and I’ve had my business in the downtown area since then. I am so grateful that we have a Mayor in Jon Nehring who is working hard for our community.

My husband and I have lived in Marysville for over 25 years. When we first moved here, Marysville was a small city with not much for activities or businesses. Our community is now a thriving city. Marysville under the leadership of Mayor Jon Nehring, the City Council and the Parks Department…

The mayoral election that's just around the corner will be important for the future of Arlington. The area is in rapid growth and leadership is key to a successful future.

The February and November 2018 school bond proposals received majority approval by Arlington School District voters, but did not reach the 60% supermajority approval required. To increase the chance of passage the school board removed improvements to athletic facilities, the transportation c…

On February 12 we will ask you, the voters, to approve a bond for school construction and safety improvements. The planned projects will require our community to invest in a bond totaling $96 million. As your elected representatives we do not take this action lightly. It’s a balancing ac…

We are Judges in the Snohomish County District Court, and we endorse Jennifer Rancourt to replace the current Judge in the Cascade Division.

I am writing to endorse Jennifer Rancourt for Judge of Cascade District Court. This judicial position serves citizens of north Snohomish County, including the cities of Marysville, Stanwood, and Arlington. I have been a Judge for the past 14 years, and I know both candidates. Jennifer Rancou…

I watched the U.S. Senate candidates debate on Channel 5 which was handled excellently as each candidate was allowed only a short time frame to respond to the questions.

I’m voting Democrat and Republican. The bitter partisanship in D.C. this year has shown me how much I don't want that to become a reality in Olympia, or more importantly Snohomish County.
