Good morning, Everett.

Schacktoberfest 2025 begins at Schack Art Center in Downtown Everett as local artists display over 100 fall-themed works and a glass pumpkin patch shows 1000 pumpkins—attendees 21 and older participate in events like silent auctions, live music, and a costume contest during the Pints event.

Everett city staff shared measures to close a $7.9 million budget gap for 2026 by proposing cuts to pension contributions, street overlays, human needs grants, and planned maintenance while using about $4.8 million in remaining COVID relief dollars.

City officials also plan to use other revenues to support essential services, and the final budget will be voted on December 4.

The Everett City Council approved a resolution by a 6 to 1 vote on Wednesday that rebuked Kroger for planning to close the South Everett Fred Meyer store on Evergreen Way in mid-October, and Mayor Cassie Franklin backed the decision.

The resolution calls the planned closure corporate neglect—police records show shoplifting cases have dropped over the years.

The Snohomish County Council held a public hearing on the North Lake annexation that started on September 17 and extended it to September 24 at 10:30 a.m.—council members voted unanimously to postpone the resolution to allow more community input.

Compass Health opened its new Marc Healing Center on September 18 — a 72,000 square-foot facility on Broadway that offers two 16-bed units for evaluation and crisis care.
