On a typical day at the Broadway building, about 35 people with special needs and several volunteers were crammed into a 2,000-square-foot space. Now that there’s room, the nonprofit is expanding its offerings and needs more volunteers to help with classes, games and activities. “It’s never been better for All Aboard,” Danks said. “This place has changed so many people’s lives.” All Aboard’s founders, Gene and Marie Rogoway, started the nonprofit

EVERETT — Adults with special needs have a new place to go to make friends. All Aboard has moved into a new building at 2913 W. Marine View Drive. It has space for the nonprofit to grow while it continues to raise money for a permanent home. “That gives us the opportunity to find the perfect location,” said Shannon Danks, who teaches art and other classes at All Aboard. The organization offers adults with special needs a place to socialize, learn new skills and play games. All Aboard recently moved from its old location at 2507 Broadway into new digs on the lower level of the Knights of Columbus building. It has a fiveyear lease on the 3,300-square-foot space. “Oh yeah, I like it,” said client Bob Barr, 61. “We have a bunch of room.” Eventually, All Aboard hopes to raise $500,000 to buy a building to become the nonprofit’s permanent home. So far, volunteers have raised about $75,000 through bake sales, craft fairs, car washes, art shows and other fundraisers. In the meantime, the new building

EVERETT — Elson Floyd had been Washington State University president about two years when Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson asked him in late 2009 to join forces to plant a WSU flag in the city. Thus began a relationship that spawned WSU North Puget Sound — better known as University Center — operating on the campus of Everett Community College. There are plans to expand into a new multistory building on North Elson Floyd Broadway and dreams of a branch campus somewhere in the future.

EVERETT — A small group of Boeing workers last year used the company’s instant messaging service to arrange drug deals at the Everett plant, according to public records. Boeing conducted an investigation and shared the findings with the Everett Police Department, six months later. The police department says there was not enough evidence at that point to make arrests or seek charges. When word of the investigation became public in January, neither the company nor police would say what substance was being bought and sold. It was prescription pills, namely highly addictive painkillers such as oxycodone and morphine, plus Adderall, a medication typically used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, documents show. Amphetamine pills also were being sold. The documents were obtained by The Daily Herald recently through a public records request. It took the police department 11 weeks — more than two months — to provide six pages of records.
