BUSINESS NEWS
- ➤ Boeing said it will begin production of its 737 MAX 10 jetliner at its Everett plant once the FAA certifies the plane in 2026, as noted by CEO Kelly Ortberg during a July 29 earnings call.

- ➤ The Snohomish Bartell Drugs at 13th and Avenue D will close Aug. 20 as prescriptions moved to a CVS at Second Street and Pine Avenue after Rite Aid went bankrupt in May. CVS acquired 64 Rite Aid stores—affected locations will be rebranded without the Rite Aid or Bartell Drugs names. Snohomish County Tribune
- ➤ Everett-based Funko reported a $41M loss in the second quarter during an earnings call last Thursday after markets closed, as net sales dropped from $247.7M to $193.5M and a $5.4M profit turned into a loss amid a dynamic tariff environment — its first half loss reached $69M. The company’s stock closed at $3.66 a share on NASDAQ — further updates are expected. Everett Herald

- ➤ Everett city staff proposed a new ordinance that would charge graffiti taggers a $250 fine and require restitution for cleanup, with community service as an option if they cannot pay.
