- ➤ A former Starbucks barista in Everett filed a complaint in Snohomish County Superior Court on Tuesday, saying he worked 18 years for the company and that Starbucks broke the city law by not giving him extra work hours before hiring new staff—his lawsuit seeks class action status to cover other part-time workers.

CRIME NEWS
- ➤ Law enforcement officers from Washington, Oregon and Idaho will patrol local roads from 4 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday in an effort to curb drunk driving and honor fallen trooper Christopher Gadd—who died in a 2024 crash after a driver collided with his patrol vehicle.

GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Everett’s city council and Mayor Cassie Franklin adopted a resolution last week by a 7-1 vote urging Kroger to reconsider closing the Fred Meyer store at Casino Road and Evergreen Way, which will shut Oct. 18 and would have marked its 50th anniversary. City leaders cited police data showing a 36% drop in theft offenses that contradicts Kroger’s claim—investments in public safety have improved the neighborhood—and they plan to redevelop the site to support local markets.
