Edmonds says help needed to fix traffic The city will seek $1 million from the Legislature to find a way to solve traffic issues on the waterfront. By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer
EDMONDS — City officials plan to ask the Legislature for
$1 million during the next session for a study of how to help solve long-standing traffic issues on the city’s waterfront. All it takes is one trip to
Edmonds to see the problems. Railroad tracks run down the west side of the city near the shoreline. Passengers who want to take the Edmonds-Kingston ferry have to cross those tracks to board the boat, as do people who want to access the beach, pier and other waterfront
areas. With normal traffic patterns, about 40 trains go through the city each day. That shuts down access to the city’s waterfront for about two hours a day, said Phil Williams, the city’s public works director. If a train breaks down in the area, which happens at least
occasionally, it can leave people stranded on either side of the tracks for an hour or more, Mayor Dave Earling said. Traffic entering the city from the north and south to catch a ferry See TRAFFIC, back page, this section

At $549,950, it might not be the cheapest piece of “Twin Peaks” memorabilia. Although with four bedrooms and a large eat-in kitchen, it’s by far the most functional. The Everett home of fictional murdered homecoming queen Laura Palmer and her maniacal parents is on the market. Marilyn Pettersen, 80, is selling the Rucker Hill house where she and her late husband, Pete,

raised five children. The white Dutch colonial with the wide front steps was used in the 1990 show’s pilot episode and the 1992 movie prequel “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.” Pettersen said there was never any creepy mojo afterward. No demonic entity Bob sightings at the window or cigarettes burning in the kitchen. The home’s fame didn’t change her life, but it sure made it a bit more interesting. “All of a sudden there were ‘Peak Freaks’ everywhere,”

said Pettersen, a former Everett Clinic nurse who recently moved into a retirement community. “For a long time and still to this day, I see people taking pictures out front or they’ll come and knock at the door.” There’s been a resurgence of traffic at 708 33rd St. since news broke a week ago that Laura Palmer’s home is for sale.

and Mark Frost. The discovery of the teen’s plastic-wrapped body in the pilot episode beckoned the handsome, pie-loving FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper to town ... and a fan cult was born. “Twin Peaks” was freaky stuff back in the days when TV shows were more “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Blossom” than “Breaking Bad.” The whole “Twin Peaks” series will be released July 29 in a $120 See HOUSE, back page, this section

Once used to film portions of the “Twin Peaks” television series, a home owned by Marilyn Pettersen at 708 33rd Street in Everett is now up for sale for $550,000.
STANWOOD — The victim was 73 years old, an Army veteran living near Stanwood. On June 7, he was folding clothes at a laundromat in the Viking Village shopping center. Unbeknownst to him, a man in his 20s was watching, with ill intentions. The suspect “came up behind him in the laundromat, hit him in the back and demanded his keys and wallet and everything he had,” Stanwood Police Chief Rick Hawkins said. A struggle ensued. The older man was tumbled over a laundry cart. He suffered five broken ribs. The suspect took off with the victim’s pickup truck. The robbery was reported about 4:45 p.m. Stanwood deputy Tracy Peckham was almost off her shift, Hawkins said. She had to act quickly, to gather enough information to give the night shift something to go on. “We didn’t have a lot,” Hawkins said. “We didn’t have a license plate to start with.” The victim could provide some details, but he was pretty shook up, Stanwood Sgt.
