Good morning, Everett.

Haywire Brewing in Snohomish will host a Seattle Seahawks watch party at 4:30 p.m. Thursday — raising funds for youth sports, a golf center and a farm hurt by floods.

The brewery will donate $2 per beer sold while Cathouse Pizza donates $2 per pizza and accepts clothing and food.

Local reporter Eliza Aronson and photographer Olivia Vanni covered record-breaking floods last week in Snohomish County—documenting rising river levels, rescues and evacuations across several communities.

Their detailed coverage highlighted the challenges residents faced as authorities responded to changing forecasts.

At an Economic Alliance meeting in Everett today, State Senate Majority Leader Marko Liias explained that Washington will use part of its $15 billion transportation budget to fund road, bridge and resurfacing projects planned to create construction jobs when the 2026 legislative session begins on Jan. 12.

Residents impacted by this week’s flooding should follow safety guidelines (including using protective gear) issued by the Snohomish County Health Department before cleaning up affected properties.

They are advised to avoid contact with floodwater and wait until emergency officials confirm the area is safe.
