LYNNWOOD — The goal of building a new $10 million facility for Volunteers of America and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County to provide a variety of community services got a big boost Wednesday

the Lynnwood Convention Center. Steves’ pledge “was the lead gift to start the campaign to raise the money,” said Bill Rick Steves Tsoukalas, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County. Key to the plans for the new community center was the

decision by Trinity Lutheran Church to approve a 50-year lease of approximately three acres of its property for construction of the building. Steves is a member of the church. The property is located near the intersection of Highway 99 and 196th Street SW in Lynnwood. “It’s a prime spot,” said Phil Smith, chief executive of Volunteers of America See PLEDGE, Page A6

Autumn’s colors shine

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — For more than a week now, a portable electronic reader board outside the fire hall has blinked out the same message. In one moment, it informs passersby: “Special event MPHS 10/24.” In the next, it warns: “Expect long delays.” Organizers wouldn’t mind seeing a few delays Saturday morning around Marysville Pilchuck High School. It would be a sign of support as the school and the Marysville and Tulalip communities pay tribute to young lives lost in the cafeteria shootings a year ago to the day. By design, the largely studentorganized event — dubbed “#MP Stronger: A Walk of Strength” — will be short on speeches and long on togetherness. “That was intentional,” Marysville School Superintendent Becky Berg said. “This is not about tying up a microphone with a bunch of people in suits. It is about community and fellowship and just being together. That was really the intention from the beginning.” Marysville became national news a year ago after a freshman shot five classmates, killing four, in the school cafeteria. He also killed himself.

Autumn begins to look more like autumn Monday in Jennings Park in Marysville, where Constance Mahlberg, of Lake Stevens, takes a walk beneath a mostly cloudy sky on one of the scenic pathways just off 64th Street NE near the children’s play area. It should be brighter today, with intervals of clouds and sunshine; see Page C6 for more about the weather.

Boeing earnings beat Wall Street expectations EVERETT — The Boeing Co. must navigate several challenges to twin-aisle airplane programs based in Everett. But for now, the cash is coming in. The aerospace giant on Wednesday announced $1.7 billion in net profit for the third quarter of the year, beating Wall Street expectations.

A record-high 199 commercial airplane deliveries and an uptick in Boeing’s defense business fueled the company’s performance during July through September. Those deliveries included 37 787 Dreamliners, Boeing’s carbon-fiber-composite jetliner. Boeing still loses money on every Dreamliner it sells, but it continues to close the gap, company leaders said Wednesday
