Everett Community College will host public meetings with university officials, who are gathering input around the state before they start looking for candidates. By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer
EVERETT — Those involved in finding a new Washington State University president will be at Everett Community College Tuesday to hear what students, faculty and locals want to see in the next leader. Two public meetings are planned to gather input on what skills the next president should have, challenges they may face and means to measure their success.

MISSING MARINERS
By Rikki King and Scott North Herald Writers
MARYSVILLE — Nate Hatch stood before the south fence of Marysville Pilchuck High School, hundreds of people behind him. The fence was decorated with “MP Stronger” in giant letters fashioned from red plastic cups. Nate, 15, stopped for a moment and looked back at his family and friends. He then began to weave two carnations into the pattern. He chose one red flower and one white, the school’s colors, placing them near the top of the “P.” As Nate turned to continue his walk around the campus Saturday, one friend rubbed his shoulder. Another took his hand. Fellow Tulalip tribal members began a traditional song. Three young boys danced in a circle, their arms swooping behind them as they dipped and turned.

Saturday marked one year since a high school freshman shot his friends and then himself in a cafeteria. Four of Nate’s friends were murdered. He was the lone survivor. On Saturday, his mother, Denise Hatch, and other family members wore shirts that said “Nate Strong. Inspiring. Courageous. Warrior.” They walked with him to the south end
of the stadium, then released four balloons, all shaped like stars, white with red bows. Before the remembrance walk, Nate had taken his place among the students in the first row of a packed Quil Ceda Stadium. A moment of silence followed at 10:39 a.m. The ceremony was brief by design and See STRONG, Page A8
