rystal Warwick was pissed at God. And if battling a brain tumor for the past two-and-a-half years wasn’t enough, doctors recently told the 29-year-old she probably has less than a year to live. That’s less time to spend with her 2-year-old daughter, and her sons, ages 3 and 5. And less time to spend with her

But sometimes finding the right combination of notes is not as easy. The blues is about
having a heart broken, but Bothell business owner Sean McVeigh has found joy during the past two years in producing the Bothell Blues Festival. He has found the perfect combination of notes, even though he has never touched a guitar and knows nothing about the music industry. He and
Carolina Smokes owner Dave Heyward are bringing back the festival for its third year at Country Village. “It’s the four ‘B’s: Blues, Barbecue, Beer and Bothell,” said McVeigh. “… Each of the past two years 20 to 30 people have come up to me and said [ more BLUES page 5 ]
