Good morning, Everett. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 18th of July.

- ➤ U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen met with officials at the Everett food bank last week to review how federal cuts ended funding from the Emergency Food and Shelter Program and reduced TEFAP and LFPA support that helped over 139,000 people in 2024. Officials said the bank will deliver only 5 million pounds of food this fiscal year—down from 10 million pounds last year—due to planned SNAP cuts and rising costs. Everett Post
CRIME NEWS
- ➤ A federal judge sentenced Snohomish resident Kyle Christopher Benton to two years in prison and three years' probation after he pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a machine gun and unregistered firearms used to support extremist activities — court records show he promoted neo-Nazi propaganda and anti-Semitic content on social media.
