event’s organizers, the Boston Athletic Association. These are the Bothell residents registered for the race: Hui Jin, 40; Tina Neil, 46; Julie Nelson 53; Suzanne E. Nester, 47; Suzanne Robbins, 51; Julia A. Walters-Burns, 51; Karra J. Whitmire, 35. These are the Kenmore
residents registered for the race: Rich R. Bennett, 47; Bill Haldeman, 55; Greg J. Norling, 62; Rene Nussbaum, 44; Becci N. Walkling, 41. More than 520 Washington residents were registered for the race, according to the Boston Athletic Association. Concerned family and
friends of the registrants can search the American Red Cross’s list of those who have registered themselves as “safe and well” by clicking on the “Search Registrants” button on their website at https:// safeandwell.communityos. org/cms/index.php. The explosions took place about four hours
after the start of the men’s race, the New York Times reports, “which meant that there were still several thousand runners yet to finish the race.” A Boston Police Department spokesman said that “a series of bombs exploded near the finish line” at the marathon, “leaving two people dead
and more than a dozen injured.” However, various Boston media outlets are reporting that at least three people have died and nearly 180 people were injured. Local, state and federal law enforcement were still investigating the terror attack at press time.

He said it is important to expose students to the careers of the future. But it was the students’ testimonials that made the most impact. “We were thrilled to feature some of the area’s most respected leaders, and in the end, it’s always the students who steal the show,” said Executive Director of the Northshore Schools Foundation Carmin Dalziel. Inglemoor High School junior Spencer Lane was the featured student speaker for
the event. “One year ago I didn’t know what STEM was and I had no idea that I had been the recipient of any of the grants from the Northshore Schools Foundation,” said Lane. “Today I am inspired to pursue a career in Sustainable Engineering and Design, and grateful for the nine different grants that have supported me in my education.” Funds collected at the event go toward Northshore Schools Foundation initiatives and programs. Many of those programs prepare students for college of a chosen career path. Northshore Junior High students Anthony Ramos, Cristian Flores-Torres and Bainbridge Garcia shared how the Hang-Time homework support program helped them increase their grades and inspired them to go to college. “If I didn’t have Hang -Time, I would probably be failing school and could not achieve my dream of being a Marine,” said Flores-Torres.
