EVERETT — An apparent case of mistaken gang affiliation erupted in gunfire Thursday night, sending two Everett teenagers to a Seattle hospital.

The victims, a 14-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy, are siblings. The girl was in satisfactory condition Friday at Harborview Medical Center. The boy was in serious condition and in intensive care but had been upgraded from critical condition the

night before. “Both suffered injuries that we understand are not life-threatening,” the Mukilteo School District reported in a letter to parents. The suspect, 17, was arrested early Friday morning after a fourhour standoff with police. He was evaluated for minor injuries after a SWAT team used what was described as an aerosol irritant to force him out of a south Everett

condominium in the 1500 block of 115th Street SW. The former Mariner High School student allegedly admitted to detectives he was dressed in red to represent his gang affiliation, Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. See COLORS, back page, this section

Have vegetable oil, will travel Couple exploring the country after creating fully sustainable vehicles

“For us, we wanted to travel and see things.” The couple is now camped out in Mill Creek, visiting family. However, they hit a bump in the road two weeks ago when Fu’s touring bike with an attached dog trailer was stolen from the parking lot of the recently closed Mill Creek Safeway.

EVERETT — Firefighters from Snohomish County are being peeled back from the wildfires in Eastern and Central Washington, though some remain on the front lines. In the worst fire season in state history, they have been joined by dispatchers and emergency management experts from here, too. The hope is that the worst of the fire season has passed, said Eric Andrews, the Gold Bar fire chief who coordinates wildfire response from this part of the state. Still, high temperatures and winds predicted on the east side during the next couple of weeks could bring trouble. “If those winds come back, we could be right back in the thick of it,” Andrews said. Crews remain deployed from Gold Bar and Everett, Andrews said. Two teams of specially trained wildland firefighters known as “strike teams” were headed back home Friday. Andrews estimates that 75 firefighters from Snohomish County have cycled through the wildfire teams over the mountains. Some stayed three days, others for weeks. Local fire departments expect to be reimbursed for their wildfire costs from the state and federal governments, he said. Travis Hots, the chief of the Getchell and Arlington Rural fire districts, just got home a few days ago. The past three weeks were a blur of long hours and varying emotions and fire conditions, Hots said. On Thursday, Arlington firefighters had helped protect buildings in the Okanogan County town of

A thief, or thieves, recently stole Crandall’s bicycle and Tybee’s tow trailer. The 12-yearold Labrador-rottweiler mix struggles to walk, so towing him behind the bikes is a must.

MILL CREEK — They wanted to be more than weekend warriors. Ching Fu, 33, and her partner, Jerud Crandall, 36 didn’t want to wait until they retired to travel and see the great outdoors. They found a weekend or a one- to twoweek jaunt wasn’t ever enough to really experience a place.

Once their sustainable travel rig was in line with their commitment to living a green lifestyle, Crandall, a mechanical engineer, and Fu, a marketing professional, quit their jobs. They packed their stuff, rented out their house and hit the road in March. “We wanted to show people you can live sustainably whether it’s in a home or on the road,” Fu said.
