Good morning, Everett.

On August 27th at 12:10 a.m., a 19-year-old male driver lost control near Olivia Park Elementary School when his speeding car ran red lights and went off 112th St SW onto 4th Ave W—traveling about 200 feet before striking a parked car, a concrete wall, and a house, which led to fatal injuries and his later death at Providence Hospital.

Students at Monroe Elementary enjoyed a festive first day of school Wednesday as volunteers greeted them with a red carpet, balloons, and bubbles — a celebration marking the start for over 20,000 students in Everett Public Schools.

Mayor Cassie Franklin visited the school and extra safety officers were present as kindergarten began Tuesday.
