Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 5th of July.
Good morning, Everett.
🎓 Education
Everett Public Schools superintendent Ian Saltzman won the Robert J.
Handy Most Effective Administrator award on June 23 when the Washington Association of School Administrators named him a top educational leader — he is the third from his district to win the honor and the first Snohomish County administrator since 2017.
🏛️ Government
Snohomish County Human Services reported a 1.8% drop in homelessness to 1,140 people this year and is expanding supportive housing projects in Edmonds and Everett.
The department warned that if new HUD conditions force a loss of its $16.7 million Continuum of Care funding, nearly 500 individuals could lose permanent housing assistance—threatening progress in addressing homelessness.
On July 1, Washington implemented a tax package—signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson—that is projected to generate about $9.4 billion over the next four years.
The reforms raise a gas tax, hunting license fees, and an estate tax for estates over $9 million and will also increase business and advanced computing surcharges later this year and early next year.
