officials and industry insiders to the biennial event. Inslee plans to meet with high-level executives from several companies considering expanding or starting operations in Washington, said Alex Pietsch, the governor’s top adviser on aerospace. “I’m confident we’re going to see deals materialize in the next 30 to 180 days.”

MUKILTEO — After years of assembling, funding for a new Mukilteo ferry terminal is nearly in place. A Puget Sound Regional Council panel Thursday recommended $12.1 million in additional federal dollars for the undertaking, providing one of the final pieces of a $129 million funding puzzle. “This project has come a long way,” said Rick Olson, spokesman for the regional agency. “It secures a vital regional connection. It modernizes and re-energizes an historic place for generations and really maximizes value of the place for all the ways people move around now and in the future.” The ferry money is among $690 million allotted to projects in Snohomish, King, Pierce and Kitsap counties by the council’s Transportation Policy Board. The full council is expected to ratify the board’s recommendations July 24 with final approval coming later this year after a period of public comment and air quality assessment. In Snohomish County, tens of millions of dollars are earmarked for expanding bus service, repairing streets and launching the design and engineering of numerous road projects. Community Transit, for example, will get nearly $900,000 toward the cost of adding service on Routes 201 and 202 between Smokey Point and the Lynnwood Transit Center. In all, 23 trips a day will be added on these popular routes which serve about 80,000 riders a month, or about 2,300 riders each weekday. Expanded service on this route will start Sept. 29.

Katsuko Carlson looks up into the pear, apple and cherry trees planted in her back yard in Lynnwood on Monday. Carlson and her husband, Ken, moved into their house, which is about 100 years old, in 1977 and were recently given a certificate for making significant contributions to historic preservation in Lynnwood.

LYNNWOOD — The back yard is a like a private arboretum: a little shaggy, but lush and shady. The greenery hushes the traffic that rushes by. Here, there is history, and there is love, in an old house at a Lynnwood intersection, just blocks from the Alderwood Mall. Ken and Katsuko Carlson bought the place in 1977. They raised three kids. Family

photos fill the mantle, side tables and walls. Ken Carlson, 82, keeps a scrapbook, narrated, of their lives. He fell for his bride while serving in the Foreign Service in Japan. He liked that she spoke softly, that she was sincere and pleasant, that she had a college degree. They both worked for the American consulate-general in Kobe. They married in Tokyo in 1966 and lived in California and Seattle before moving to Lynnwood.

“It was nice here,” Ken Carlson said. Katsuko Carlson, 76, stacks sweets on the coffee table for visitors. Her husband teases her about her collection of thousands of books, many of them in Japanese. Their 50th anniversary is approaching. Earlier this year, the Carlsons were recognized by city leaders for their efforts to preserve local history by taking care of their home. One certificate is issued each year. The 1.5-story house at 188th Street SW and 40th Avenue

W. previously belonged to the Alderwood Manor pioneers, Leo Echelbarger and his wife, Helen Chase Echelbarger. The exact age of the house is disputed, but it’s more than 100 years old, and listed on the historic Lynnwood tour. ◆ ◆ ◆ There was no historic Lynnwood when Dean Echelbarger was born in 1922. His grandfather, Albert Chase, had the house built. From the outside, the house See HOUSE, Page A2

State strategy at air show: More is better Gov. Jay Inslee aims to bring “emerging markets” in aerospace to Washington when he travels to Farnborough. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

the buzz

SEATAC — Space might be the final frontier for Star Trek fans. In Olympia, it means jobs, and a chance to escape Boeing’s shadow. The state updated its aerospace

industry strategy Friday, and the plan emphasizes supporting growth in newer parts of the industry, such as aviation biofuels, composite-material manufacturing, unmanned aerial vehicles — or drones — and space. “We think in any number of

Power munch Where’s the beef? Taco Bell says it is listening to its customers’ demands for more protein and is introducing the Catina Power menu, which will offer double portions of meat in its tacos and burritos. “People are not looking for diet food. They want food that gives them energy,” said company president Brian Niccol

(Page A9). Along with double-meat tacos, power-hungry customers can also buy a Taco Bell 9-volt battery, dusted with Nacho Doritos powder, and lick the positive and negative terminals.

emerging markets, we’re on the leading edge,” Gov. Jay Inslee said. Another of the strategy’s goals is helping Washingon-based companies become bigger parts of the supply chain for other airplane makers. He hopes to do that this week at the Farnborough International Airshow in the United Kingdom. Washington is sending a trade delegation of about 25 public

test its Amazon Prime Air service. “We believe customers will love it,” Amazon said (Page A8). Customers who liked Amazon Prime Air also liked the sound of buzzing mosquitos, ducking helicopter blades and the nagging feeling that they were being watched. Green with envy: In the first three days of legal sales

of recreation marijuana in Washington state, the Liquor Control Board reported the state raked in almost $150,000 in excise taxes. That figure doesn’t count the revenue from state and local sales taxes (Page A6). To celebrate, the Liquor Control Board invited everybody to Taco Bell for a double-meat Catina Power taco. Their treat.
