EVERETT — Health officials have documented a sobering statistic in Snohomish County: 13 young people, including two 12-year-olds, have committed suicide since September. That’s more than double the

number in recent years, according to the Snohomish Health District, which released the information Tuesday. And there’s more grim news. A survey of nearly 12,000 high school and middle school students in the county found that nearly one in five report they’ve given serious thought to ending their lives.

“The fact that you’ve got all these young people who feel so isolated, who really feel they have no one they can turn to, and that the only resource is to kill themselves to me is just stunning,” said Dr. Gary Goldbaum, health officer for the Snohomish Health District. “It shouldn’t happen at all. I don’t think there’s any other way to look at it than a kid who commits suicide is a real failing of society.” Eight of the 13 suicides were

between the ages of 17 and 19. Five were among 12- to 16-yearolds. Ten were boys and three were girls. Six used handguns to kill themselves and six hanged themselves. The method of death in the 13th suicide was not immediately available. Since 2009, the number of annual youth suicides in Snohomish County has ranged between one and six deaths a year.

EVERETT — When he woke up Monday morning, 12-year-old Richard Rosas was nervous, excited and ready to make new friends. He knew it was the first day of Casino Road Futbol Academy, the soccer camp hosted in south Everett every summer by the city police department. Before camp, Richard didn’t know what team he’d be on, or who his coach would be.

DAILY

CHICAGO — Boeing on Tuesday announced that Jim McNerney, who led the aerospace giant for the past decade, will be stepping down as CEO on July 1, replaced by the company’s chief operating officer, Dennis A. Muilenburg. Muilenburg, 51, has been with Boeing for 30 years. He has worked at Boeing in roles including president and CEO of its defense space and security business. He was named president and COO of the company in December 2013 and is also covice chairman of Boeing. McNerney, 65, will remain chairman of Boeing’s board of directors, where he has served since 2001. He will remain a Boeing employee through February “to ensure a smooth transition of his CEO responsibilities to Muilenburg,” the Chicago-based company said, adding that he will also continue advocating on behalf of Boeing, including in Washington, D.C. McNerney took over Boeing as it was struggling with massive production delays from its 787 Dreamliner program. He leaves behind a company with a record book of new jet orders and the fastest production rate in history. In the first quarter of this year, it delivered 184 new jets to airlines around the world, up from 161 during the same period the prior year. Commercial jets now account for about 70 percent of the company’s revenue; most of the remainder came from its military and space operations. Boeing
