Preparing Them for the Future
This issue holds a special place for me. Children are more than just the future—they are the heartbeat of our communities. Their laughter and curiosity shape the world in ways we can’t fully measure. Personally, I couldn't imagine life without my five children. They are the biggest blessing to my life.
As parents and caregivers, we put so much effort into nurturing their growth, teaching them, and investing in their futures. But let’s not forget that children also shape us—they bring joy, laughter, and meaning to our lives every day.
And we can't forget about the pets! What a powerful role pets play in our families. They offer unconditional love and teach us valuable lessons in empathy, responsibility, and companionship. The bond between kids and their pets can be especially transformative, fostering deep emotional connections that last a lifetime.
If you've been on the fence about bringing a pet into your home, or introducing animals into your children’s lives, this may be the perfect time. We're excited to feature three local shelters that offer pet adoption or fostering, as well as Empowering Strides, a nonprofit organization providing therapeutic horsemanship to neurodivergent individuals.
At the core of both children and pets is a simple truth—they need us. Our care and attention shape who they become, and in turn, they shape us. This issue is dedicated to celebrating the kids and pets who fill our homes with good things.
I hope this month’s issue inspires you to pour a little extra love into the children and pets in your life. They are the ones who remind us of the simple joys and the importance of unconditional love.
Here’s to our future, our little ones, and the pets who make everything better. Happy August!

YOUTH VENDOR DAY
BUILDING YOUNG
BUSINESS LEADERS, ONE MARKET BOOTH AT
A TIME
ARTICLE BY AMBER DAWN SCHULTHEIS PHOTOGRAPHY BY SNOHOMISH FARMERS MARKET
Every market season, the youth of Snohomish have an opportunity to experience what it’s like to run a small business through Youth Vendor Day Experience. The program continues to expand as popularity and demand grow each year. The program is supported through partnerships with the Snohomish Farmers Market, Snohomish Chamber of Commerce, Coastal Community Bank, Little Books of Big Business, and Snohomish General Store. Designed for youth ages 18 and under, the program introduces participants to the fundamentals of entrepreneurship through creative
problem-solving, hands-on learning, and real-world market experience. Kids and teens are encouraged to develop their ideas, build confidence, and gain practical business skills as they bring their products to market.
Before setting up their booths, participants attend two educational workshops designed to prepare them for success. Age-appropriate learning tracks for younger children and teens help participants develop business concepts, create products, understand costs and pricing, design engaging displays, and practice networking and customer interaction. These are valuable skills that extend far beyond market day.
As part of the experience, participants also have the opportunity to attend Youth Chamber Day, where they join a Snohomish Chamber of Commerce meeting and gain experience presenting their ideas. Along the way, they connect with local business leaders, practice talking about their products, and refine their plans before making their market debut.
When Youth Vendor Day arrives, the young entrepreneurs step into the role of business owner. They showcase products they have made or grown themselves, manage their displays, interact with customers, and put their newly acquired skills into practice. “It’s so wonderful to see the participating youth transform throughout this program - whether that’s gaining confidence speaking in front of peers and adults to updating their business plans and ideas as they work through the process. It’s such a rewarding experience all around for the market, our partners and our participants,” says Sarah Dylan Jensen, Executive Director of the Snohomish Farmers Market.
Of course, entrepreneurship teaches much more than how to sell a product. Participants develop responsibility, communication skills, creativity,
leadership, and self-confidence. Perhaps most importantly, they discover that they are capable of turning an idea into something tangible and sharing it with their community.
Programs like the Youth Vendor Day Experience remind us why investing in the next generation matters. They create opportunities for young people to explore different career paths, develop independence, and see business ownership as a possibility for their future. They also spark meaningful conversations within families about creativity, work, and what it means to build something of your own.
Be sure to stop by the Snohomish Farmers Market on August 6 and August 13 to support these young makers and entrepreneurs. And if you have a young person in your life who loves creating, building, or dreaming up new business ideas, keep an eye out for next year’s program — sign ups kick off in early 2027 and fill up quickly.
Every successful business begins with someone willing to take a first step—and for many local youth, that first step happens right here at the Snohomish Farmers Market.
Everett Gospel Mission
Standing in the Gap for Men and Families
Since opening its doors in 1961, Everett Gospel Mission has served as a refuge for men in Snohomish County. What began as a simple response to urgent need has grown into the largest faith-based poverty relief organization in the county. It remains the only emergency shelter for single men in Snohomish County.
Every night, an average of 300 men, women, and children find safety, meals, and a bed at the Mission’s various shelters across Snohomish County. But the Mission offers far more than a place to sleep; it provides a pathway forward.
“We want the people who come to the Mission to feel respected and supported,” says Nathan ‘Chivo’ Hawkins, Director of Advancement. “We see a person who has value.”
Through a basic intake process and background check, guests can access what is known as low barrier shelter. If space is available, they are given a safe place to stay and are not required to leave each morning. As long as they engage in services, they can remain and begin rebuilding their lives. That stability creates space to address deeper challenges.
“We have many guests who are working,” Hawkins explains. “If you visit during the middle of the day, many are at their jobs or in training programs. Some are waiting years for affordable housing.”
ARTICLE BY COURTNEY EVANS
PHOTOGRAPHY BY EVERETT GOSPEL MISSION
The median age at the shelters has steadily increased. Many older people who worked their entire lives now find that social security does not cover today’s housing costs. A medical emergency can drain savings. Without close family or strong support networks, they can quickly lose housing.
“Poverty is not a character flaw,” Hawkins says. “Being economically poor is not always the result of bad decisions. Life can converge in ways that leave someone without housing.”
Everett Gospel Mission addresses these realities through a three part approach: relief, rehabilitation, and development.
“When people understand the depth of what we do, they do not just see a shelter,” Hawkins says. “They see innovation, dignity, and hope in action.”
While EGM is known for their men’s shelter, it also serves women and families, serving as the county’s distribution center for housing and other essential needs, such as hygiene items, cleaning products, and transportation assistance.
This year brings both challenges and opportunities. A temporary, downtown shelter site that opened during the pandemic will close due to redevelopment of the building. That closure will result in the loss of up to eighty emergency beds for a season.
At the same time, Everett Gospel Mission is expanding its Smith Avenue campus. Two additional buildings are being renovated and connected to the existing facility. When complete, the expansion will add 108 new yearround beds and increase family shelter capacity by 25 percent. The goal
is not just more shelter, but more comprehensive care, with the expanded space serving as a community resource center with space for health providers, partner organizations, and neighborhood engagement.
There will be a temporary gap before the expansion is finished, which makes community partnership more important than ever.
“We exist for our community,” Hawkins says. “When our community asks us to step up, we want to say yes. But we can’t do it alone.”
Donors, volunteers, churches, and businesses provide stability that public funding cannot always guarantee. Their support ensures that when a man reaches the end of his options, a door is still open. At Everett Gospel Mission, guests find more than a bed. They find safety, support, and the chance to begin again.

PERFECTING
Family PHOTOS
“DON’T LET ANOTHER YEAR OR SEASON GO BY THAT YOU DON’T CAPTURE THE PEOPLE THAT MEAN THE MOST TO YOU.”
The best family portraits aren’t perfectly staged — they are authentic. Whether you’re working with a professional photographer or setting up a shoot on your own, a little preparation goes a long way toward images your family will treasure for years, leaving a legacy for the next generation. Do not let another year or season go by that you don’t capture the people that mean the most to you.
HOW TO CAPTURE BEAUTIFUL AND TIMELESS IMAGES THAT WILL LAST FOR GENERATIONS
PLAN WITH INTENTION
Studio portraits or outdoors? Choose a location that means something to your family — a favorite park, your backyard, or a place you return to every year. Familiar environments put everyone at ease and add a layer of personal story to the images. Schedule your shoot in the early morning or the hour before sunset for soft, flattering natural light. And if you don’t want to deal with our PNW weather, consider a studio family session with a local photographer.
COORDINATE - DON’T MATCH
Avoid dressing everyone in identical outfits. Instead, choose a cohesive color palette with two or three complementary tones. Solid colors and simple textures photograph cleanly and keep the focus on faces and connection. Think of classic pieces, white shirts and denim for example next go out of style.
DIRECT THE ENERGY, NOT JUST THE POSE
Authentic moments come from movement and interaction with young kids; walking together, climbing on parents, a shared laugh mid-shot. Give your family something to do rather than simply somewhere to stand. Keep it lighthearted and moving quickly between shots to keep everyone engaged.
COME PREPARED
Bring water, snacks, and a flexible schedule. Try to keep the session under 90 minutes to maintain energy, especially if it includes young children or older adults (generational portraits). Allow buffer time before and after so no one arrives rushed or stressed. Have a contingency plan for weather (rain!).
PRINT WHAT YOU LOVE
Digital files are convenient, but printed portraits become legacy. A framed image on the wall tells your children and grandchildren that this moment — this family, at this time — was worth preserving and documenting. Don’t let your favorite images live only on your phone and hard drive. Print them, display them, and pass them down to future generations.
A skilled portrait photographer doesn’t just operate a camera — they know how to read light, direct a group naturally, and capture the moments that happen between poses. Most photographers invest in quality equipment, but what sets a professional apart is the hours of training, workshops and the ability to make something happen, that makes you go “wow”! If family portraits matter to you, the investment is worth it.

EMPOWERING STRIDES
Exploring Growth Through Hooves and Heart
Empowering
Strides
Growth does not always happen in a classroom or behind a desk. Sometimes it happens in a barn, beside a thousand pound horse, where trust is built one gentle step at a time.
Empowering Strides is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering growth in neurodivergent individuals through therapeutic horsemanship.
Therapeutic horsemanship is about far more than learning to ride. It uses the skills and joys of horseback riding and horse care to build emotional strength, social awareness, physical coordination, and confidence. Under the guidance of
a certified instructor and supported by trained volunteers, each rider works toward personal goals in a safe and encouraging environment.
Founder and Director Laura Gorcester understands this journey well. After earning her certification through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International in 2015, she founded Empowering Strides to meet a growing need in the community. What began as a dream has grown into a thriving program that continues to enrich lives.
A typical lesson lasts one hour. Riders begin by grooming their horse and learning how to care for the animal. This time builds connection and responsibility. About thirty minutes are spent riding, where students practice mounting, steering, trotting, halting, and navigating obstacles through games and creative exercises. But the learning goes beyond riding. Riders strengthen communication skills, teamwork, spatial awareness, focus, and self evaluation.
Horses offer honest feedback. They respond to body language, tone, and energy. When a child learns to guide a horse through an obstacle, that moment builds more than riding skills.Helping a horse overcome a challenge often helps a child believe they can overcome one too.
Volunteers are essential to the mission. Each rider is supported by a trained volunteer who assists with grooming, mounting, and learning new skills. Community support also keeps the program strong. Donations fund scholarships for families who cannot afford lesson fees and provide medical care for the horses, including veterinary visits, dental work, and proper shoeing. Empowering Strides is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, and every gift helps both horse and rider thrive.

BROWN SUGAR NECTARINE CRUMBLE
Peak summer stone fruit with a crumble cookie topping
ARTICLE BY AMBER DAWN SCHULTHEIS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAWNING MEMORIES
A crumble is the solution to pie without needing to make a pastry crust. You’ll love this buttery, cookie-like topping and the way it bakes beautifully into the brown-sugared nectarines. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for your summer dinner guests and be sure to send the recipe home with them.
BROWN SUGAR NECTARINE CRUMBLE
Makes 8 servings
Nectarine Base:
• 6-8 medium nectarines / about 4 heaping cups sliced or chopped (fresh or frozen, not canned)
• 1/3 cup brown sugar, not packed adjust to your taste
• 1 Tablespoon real maple syrup optional, depth of flavor
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon corn starch
Crumble Topping:
• ½ cup brown sugar, not packed adjust to your taste – this is a less sweet baseline to start
• ½ cup unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons for pan prep softened and slightly melted
• ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom optional, depth of flavor
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch Kosher salt
• 1 cup all purpose flour
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish with butter and set aside.
2. Make the nectarine base. Rinse and slice the nectarines into equal-sized pieces, about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Place the sliced fruit in a large bowl and add the brown sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice, flour, and cornstarch. Stir gently to combine. Pour the nectarine mixture into the base of your prepared baking dish and set aside.
3. Make the crumble topping. Quickly rinse and dry the large mixing bowl to reuse, or use another large bowl. Place the butter, sugar, cardamom, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a handheld mixer for best results and mix on low until everything is evenly combined. Slowly add the flour to your butter-sugar mixture until it is fully incorporated and you are able to crumble the mixture with your fingers.
4. Assemble the nectarine crumble. Using your hands, crumble the topping over the nectarine mixture until evenly distributed. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet (just in case the nectarine goodness bubbles over) and into the 350ºF oven for 45 minutes. Check for bubbly fruit edges
and a golden brown, crumble top. If it’s not quite browned enough or needs more time to bubble, give it another 5-10 minutes in the oven.
5. Rest, serve & enjoy! Rest for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the nectarine base to thicken and cool. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped Chantilly cream, or just as it is. Enjoy!
Notes:
• You can use a larger or smaller dish based on what you have. The size of the dish will also affect the thickness of the dessert, so plan to adjust the bake time (less time for a larger dish).
• If you only have peaches, apricots, or red plums on hand, no trouble at all! You can use any of your favorite stone fruit to bring this crowd-pleasing, hostable dessert to the table. Thicker skinned fruit is best when the skin is removed before slicing and baking into the crumble.
• This dish can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold – you decide! Serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream.

TREY & KATIE KENNEDY
ON MARRIAGE, KIDS, AND THE COMEDY OF REAL LIFE
Trey Kennedy makes a living finding comedy in regular life. Marriage. Toddlers. Yoga pants. The Thursday-night scramble between school dropoffs, soccer practice, and whatever has to be done by morning. Twelve years in, it shows: millions of followers across every platform, three stand-up specials, a sold-out Relatable Tour, and a style of humor fans send each other captioned, “Are you watching me?” He delivers the kind of comedy that travels because everyone’s living some version of it.
Katie, his wife of six years, is a former biomedical engineer who also built a modeling career. She’s now raising their kids and co-hosting Correct Opinions alongside Trey — the show where the two of them swap takes on marriage, parenting, and whatever came up that week.
Trey has been at this longer than people realize. An Edmond, Oklahoma kid who grew up playing basketball described himself as a “shy kid who never thought he’d be an entertainer.” He started making videos while attending Oklahoma State University. After building millions of followers on Vine before the platform shut down, he gave himself six months on Instagram and Facebook to see whether he could rebuild from zero. He did. Stand-up soon followed. His first special, Are You For Real?, streams on YouTube; the second, Grow Up, on Amazon Prime; the third, built around the Relatable Tour, wrapped earlier this year. “I’ve been trying to be funny every week for like twelve years now,” he says. A slow climb, made one bit at a time.
ARTICLE BY KALI KASPRZYK
JANIE
“I’ve been trying to be funny every week for like twelve years now.”
Most of what Trey writes lately starts in his own kitchen. Thomas is three and a half, and he is, in his father’s words, “a movie.” He narrates his own life from the moment his eyes open and mispronounces words in ways his parents now repeat to each other because no one else would believe them. His younger sister, Eva, is what Katie calls “the calm one.” With a third now in the mix, the Kennedys are officially outnumbered.
After six years of marriage, Trey and Katie have learned that the partnership runs best when it gets its own time on the calendar. So once a week, they leave the kids with a sitter and go out for coffee. “You need a system,” Katie says. “It’s about taking time to look each other in the eye. Not the kids. Not the cameras. Just each other.”
The same instinct shapes the work. Most of Trey’s trial and error happens onstage or on Instagram, but the first read is always Katie’s. “There’s only been one time ever I’ve had to be like, ‘you’re not doing that,’” she says. The rest of the time, she just laughs first.

PAWS, PEOPLE, & PURPOSE
Across Snohomish County, animal shelters and rescue programs are working every day to care for pets who need a second chance. From overcrowded shelters to foster based programs supporting families in crisis, these organizations share one goal: keeping animals safe, healthy, and connected to loving homes.
At the same time, they are facing shared challenges across the animal welfare system. Many shelters and rescues are seeing more large dogs with behavior needs, more animals arriving due to housing instability, and a rise in medical cases that require urgent care. Foster based programs are also seeing higher demand as more families experience financial pressure, housing insecurity, and limited access to temporary pet care.
Across all of these organizations, community support plays a major role. Adoption not only gives an animal a home, it also opens space for another pet in need. Donations help provide medical care, food, and daily supplies. Volunteers offer hands on care, enrichment, and attention that improve an animal’s quality of life while they wait. Sharing adoptable pets online also helps animals reach more potential adopters and increases their chances of finding the right match.
Community involvement is also key to long term solutions. Supporting spay and neuter efforts, practicing responsible pet ownership, and helping reunite lost pets with their families quickly all help reduce overcrowding and improve outcomes for animals across the region.
Monty
FEATURED PETS
Ruby is a 6 year old shepherd mix full of energy and affection. She enjoys walks, car rides, and being close to her people. She has done well with children and other dogs. Ruby cannot live with cats and does best with secure outdoor space ( Ruby is at Everett Animal Shelter.)
Pee Wee is a gentle, quiet cat who prefers calm spaces and soft places to hide. Once she feels safe, she enjoys gentle attention and peaceful companionship from a patient home. ( Pee Wee is at Everett Animal Shelter.)
Montague, called Monty, is a friendly dog who loves car rides and outdoor adventures. He walks well on a leash and enjoys companionship, but he does best in a calm home and would prefer to be the only animal in the household (Montague is at Pasado’s Safe Haven.)
BECK’S PLACE
For those not ready to adopt, foster care or temporary support can still make a meaningful impact. Beck’s Place focuses on keeping pets and families together during difficult times through foster boarding and mobile support.
Buddy is thriving in foster care, enjoying safety, companionship, and daily comfort while his owner works toward stable housing. His story reflects how foster care can keep families connected through crisis while ensuring pets remain safe and loved.
Across all three organizations, one message stands out. Every adoption, foster placement, donation, and volunteer hour makes a real difference. These programs rely on community support to continue their work and help more animals find safety and stability.
In every kennel, foster home, and quiet corner, there is a story waiting for its next chapter. Are you the forever home these pets dream of finding?
*The featured animals may or may not still be available at the time of reading. Please check directly with each organization for current adoption information and opportunities to help.
