Community turns out for Arlington's first Pride event

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

Arlington locals were able to attend their first organized Pride event on June 4 as many gathered near Legion Park to celebrate the month.

The event was organized by local nonprofit organization Arlington WA Pride to provide an opportunity for LGBT+ people to gather and be celebrated.

“It’s going awesome. This is probably double what we expected with the amount of people,” said Erica Knapp, a board member of Arlington WA Pride.

The turnout filled the Centennial Trail area were the event was held.

“There’s folks standing around the trail because there’s not a lot of other See PRIDE on page 2

Marysville Getchell High School students helped to organize a Multi-Cultural Field Day event on June 3.

The event was organized by the Black Student Union with support from the Asian Student Union and Latina School Union at the school.

“Today we are putting on a multi-cultural field day/banquet,” said Santana

Thomas, vice-president of the Black Student Union.

“We’re hosting a multicultural event to celebrate diversity in our community,” said James De Leon, president of the Asian Student Union and upcoming ASB President at the school.

The event was a way for student unions to work together.

Car parade celebrates M'ville, Tulalip graduates

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Local graduating seniors drove through Marysville as part of the Class of 2022 Marysville Tulalip High School Parade on June 4.

The parade for seniors of Marysville and Tulalip high schools started at MarysvillePilchuck High School, traveled to Marysville Getchell High School and then to Legacy and Heritage high schools on the Tulalip Reservation before ending at Boom City Fireworks.

Cars adorned in balloons and other decorations traveled along the route and were greeted by a number of community members watching from the sidewalks.

“It went really well,” said Katie Thompson, one of the parent organizers of the event, who added that about 80 cars took part in this year’s parade.

“I think that the parade went great,” said Elijah French, a graduating senior from Marysville Pilchuck High School who participated in the parade.

French said he enjoyed seeing all the community members along the route.

“I love how many people came out to support us. It didn’t matter what school we came from, it was just people coming out to recognize the seniors,” he said. “I like the camaraderie it brings to the city and to the seniors.”

The community cheered the cars and the seniors as they traveled through the city.

“Along the parade route there was a good amount of parent turnout,” said Thompson, who added that the cars were able to arrive

at Boom City to confetti bombs and fireworks.

The event is organized by a committee of Marysville Pilchuck High School, Marysville Getchell High School and Legacy High School parents.

“We just wanted to make sure that the tradition of the parade continued for today’s students,” said Thompson.

This is the third year that the car parade has been held and was started because the COVID-19 pandemic limited graduating ceremonies in 2020.

Thompson said graduating students have lived through those time and a turbulent high school experience.

“We wanted to ensure

space, and we keep having to tell them to leave room for the bicyclists, which is a good problem to have,” said Knapp.

Community members and organizations came out to show their support as well.

“We just wanted to show our support. It’s a Saturday and a nice day so it’s good to get out,” said local Kevin Ratliff.

Caryn Young with the Marysville United Methodist Church said her organization came out to show support to LGBT people.

“This event is wonderful. It’s well attended and there’s a great energy,” said Young. "We’re an inclusive community and we want to let people know that

“We want to involve all the unions as our last event of the year and continue collaborating with each other,” said Denise Miranda Ramirez, a student and member of the Latina Student Union.

Vendors brought food and items to sell and activi-

Parents hoped the event would support those students.

“The kids just had a really great time and that’s what we wanted,” said Thompson.

French appreciated the opportunity to take part in the parade.

“I’ve gone to three different schools in my high school career and I’ve never seen something like this, so I think it is something that is nice to have,” he said.

He said he feels support-

God’s love is for all people and we’re sharing that love today."

Knapp said she was glad to see so many people from the community come down.

“It’s good seeing so many city and school staff that are here to support the event,” she said.

Creating a gathering place for local LGBT to celebrate Pride month was one of the main goals of starting the event.

“People just love that it is here and that we started this. They love seeing something for everyone and that it’s close to the Farmers Market,” said Knapp.

About a year ago local community members began forming the nonprofit Arlington WA Pride for local LGBT people.

“We saw a need in the community,”

ties and games were available for students.

“We have vendors all over to show off our unique culture and we have jewelry and other artifacts also being sold. We’re just having a good time here and giving someone a piece of culture,” said Thomas.

Lots of traditional foods were brought to the event.

“To me, it is about the morale of myself and others … we’ve struggled through the last couple of years and it’s nice to know that people care,” said French.

said Knapp. “There was a social media post about how there is ‘no unicorns in Arlington’ and we have set to prove that wrong."

The event included raffles, drag performers and other speakers.

“Everyone is loving that dancing and singing,” said Knapp.

“We already had some speakers in the morning. A multi-generational panel with folks of all ages talking about their experiences in the LGBTQ+ community. It’s not just younger folks in the community, there’s people of all ages,” she added.

Arlington WA Pride members are already planning for next year’s Pride month and will hold smaller events throughout the year as well.

cos that are being sold right outside, they’re getting really popular,” said Miranda Ramirez.

“Personally, I’m having a lot of fun and I know that a lot of other people are having fun. I think the vendors are enjoying it too because they’re getting customers,” she said.

Students hoped the festival was a way to bring

different cultures into the spotlight at the school.

“Representation matters a lot,” said De Leon.

“We’re just proud of being people of color and we’re proud to show off our cultures,” he added.

It was also an opportunity for students to share their cultures with each other and the community.

“We do have a lot of kids that want to learn more and a lot of kids who want to show off where they come from,” said Thomas. “We just wanted to bring some culture to our school."

De Leon said he hoped participants at the festival were able to gain some knowledge about the people of Marysville.

“My goal is to make sure that each community member learns something new about each culture,” he said.

The event was the largest gathering the three student unions have put together.

“We have done smaller events in the past but this is the biggest one so far,” said Thomas.

He was glad that lots of people came out to support the event.

“We think it’s going well considering how not-asdiverse as Marysville can be, but a lot of people have come through,” he said.

Strawberry Festival kicks off on June11

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

Volunteers are preparing for the return of the Marysville Strawberry Festival with events happening from June 11 to 19.

“It’s coming together quite nicely,” said Gail Frost, president of Maryfest, the nonprofit organization that puts the festival together.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused the festival to miss the last two years.

“We’re all really excited, but it is like we’ve forgotten some things after two years,” said Frost. “We’re learning the process all over again, but we do have enough experienced people on the board who are helping us."

Events will begin on June 11 with the return of the golf tournament. Nearly 20 teams are signed up for the tournament already.

“We think a lot of people are waiting to see what the weather will be like as well,” said Frost.

A raffle will be held at the event as well that will support a new Maryfest scholarship which will be awarded to a Marysville student who donates a lot of volunteer time to their community.

On June 14, at noon, at the Marysville Opera House the Fashion Show and Luncheon will be held.

Fashion from local businesses such as Hilton & Company are modeled during the show which raises proceeds for the scholarships provided each year to the Strawberry Festival Royalty.

“Tickets are selling slowly for the Fashion Show,” said Frost, who is hoping for more of a full house during the event.

After years of being

missing from the festival, the Trike Races will return on June 16 at 6 p.m.

“The big surprise so far has been how popular the tricycle races have been,” said Frost.

Teams will race down Third Street which will be full of obstacles for the event.

“We have had twice as many people register as we anticipated,” she said.

Some previous media have listed the start time of the event as 4 p.m., but that is when volunteer are setting up. The races are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

The Carnival will return from June 16 to 19 at Marysville Middle School.

Funtastic will bring their array of classic carnival rides and games to the field there again this year.

From June 17 to 19 the Market in the Park returns to Asbery Field.

About 80 vendors have registered for the market, “which is slightly down

from previous years, but not by much,” said Frost.

“A lot of people have been e-mailing me about the Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest,” said Frost, who said it will return on June 18 at the Market.

As is tradition, Frost said the Royalty and herself will participate in some of the contests.

The Berry Run will be held June 18 at 6:30 p.m. on State Avenue before the Grand Parade.

The annual run will raise funds for Children's Hospital Strong Against Cancer, Lakewood Education Foundation and Lakewood Sports Booster Club this year.

Finally, the festival’s Grand Parade will march down State Avenue beginning at 7:45 p.m.

There are 70 registered participants for the parade this year.

“The parade might be a little shorter this year, but

Maryfest has been organizing as more people from the community come to help as the festival ap-

proaches.

“Volunteers are coming out and we’re getting lots of people who want to help now,” said Frost.

She said the organization could still use more

volunteer however.

Poochella a fun day for dogs and their owners

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Dogs and their owners came to Asbery Field on June 4 to be a part of Marysville’s Poochella in the Park event.

“This is our second annual Poochella in the Park. Imagine a Farmers Market but everything you find there is specifically for dogs,” said Chris Taylor, cultural arts supervisor with the city of Marysville.

Taylor said the event was going well.

“The weather is holding up and we just did our costume contest.

It was a lot of fun. We try and do something for everyone,” he said.

Local dog owners said they enjoyed having an event to bring their dogs out to.

“I think it’s cool. It’s a nice time to get the dogs a little socialized and see all the things that are offered like dog training services,” said local Casey Garcia.

“It’s really cool. We really like it. It’s just nice to get around and have your dog somewhere,” said local Melissa Hussey.

Many local businesses were featured as part of the event with vendor stands around Asbery Field where dog owners could learn more about products and services.

“There’s dog treats, dog vendors, dog donations, dog rescues and everything else dog,” he said.

Taylor said it was good to learn about all the different services available.

“I think there is so much to owning a dog that you know and so much that you’re learning as you go,” he said. “You come to an event like this and you can realize ‘oh, I never knew there was this service was available.’”

A number of smaller local businesses were at the event, such as a dog treat business and a pet photography business.

“There are these mom and pops and individual proprietors that are trying to do business and to give them exposure is fantastic,” said Taylor.

This is the second year for Poochella.

“The city manager, like many of us, is a big dog fan and when we were coming out of COVID she said that she would like to see something involving dogs in the park,” said Taylor. “It was my absolute pleasure to take it on and create something that was great for everyone, because I too am a dog lover."

The city of Marysville hopes to hold Poochella again next year.

The goal is to hold it during the first weekend of June each year, said Taylor.

Taylor also wanted to thank the primary sponsor of the event, First Financial Northwest Bank, who helped make the event possible.

M'ville invests $200K in community service programs

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Five local human services programs will receive city funds to help support community services that are important to and used

by Marysville residents. The Marysville City Council approved the grants at its May 23 Council meeting.

Because grant requests

outnumbered available funds, the city focused awards on providing basic human needs.

The grants were awarded to: LINC NW, home to The Center at North Marysville in the Lakewood neighborhood, operates the Marysville Cold Weather Shelter in partnership with Snohomish County. With this $55,000 grant it intends

to expand those services to offer heat- and smokesheltering assistance during hot summer weather with cooling stations, cold electrolyte-based beverages and frozen snacks in partnership with the Marysville and Smokey Point Sno-Isle Libraries and other community organizations.

St. Joseph’s House is the only organization of

its kind in the Marysville community, offering free essential clothing items for individuals and families experiencing financial hardship. As demand increases, SJH is outgrowing its current space and looking for a larger facility in Marysville.

The city’s $55,000 grant will help pay for moving, expansion and current operating expenses.

Saint Vincent de Paul strives to fill a gap that other agencies cannot. Services

include rental and utility assistance; payment for medical needs; and basic assistance including food, clothing, heat and transportation. The city granted $35,000 in support of these services.

The Salvation Army of Marysville Tulalip received $30,000 for its Pathways of Hope program focused on housing security and homeless prevention. Services include rental and utility assistance; move-in assistance

with first, last and deposit; and emergency housing for local students and families.

The Marysville Community Food Bank was granted $25,000 in support of its Food for Thought student backpack program, senior home delivery services, holiday Toy Store and A Simple Gesture community donation pickup. The food bank distributes more than 90,000 pounds of food to about 2,800 people in need each month.

Arlington Airport director receives award

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Arlington Municipal Airport Director Dave Ryan recently received statewide recognition for his work improving the local airport over the last few years.

Ryan has been the airport director in Arlington since 2014 and has had a long career in aviation before that as well.

On May 11 Ryan received the Management Member of the Year award from the Washington Airport Management Association.

“I didn’t find out until

the night of the banquet and I was pleasantly surprised when it happened,” said Ryan.

Ryan said the Arlington Municipal Airport is a great airport.

“It is very diverse in the types of aircrafts that it accepts,” with everything from small corporate flights to personal aircraft, he said.

He also wanted to recognize city leadership who have also helped to guide the airport into the future.

“We have a great Airport Commission and they make it easy to get a lot of things done around here,” said Ryan.

Since 2014 Ryan has brought a number of initiatives to the Arlington Municipal Airport to help improve the area.

“One of the first goals I had when I began was to begin development at the airport’s business park,” he said. “We’re getting to see some of that come to fruition now."

An investment of more than $220 million came with the SmartCap commercial building projections.

“There has been some really positive changes over the years,” said Ryan. “We have been able to recruit

some great companies.”

Companies that have come into the airport include Eviation, a company experimenting with the possibility of electric aircraft, Top Cub, a Chinese aviation manufacturer and Vashon Aircraft, who were previously located at Paine Field but have come to Arlington.

The Snohomish County PUD also worked with the airport when they were putting in their nearby Arlington Microgrid and Clean Energy Center.

Ryan helped coordinate the construction of some of the first solar arrays located

near the airport that were part of that project.

Grants that Ryan and his staff have acquired have also helped fund a number of airport improvements.

“We’ve been able to make some changes to the light industrial park, especially with making it more aesthetically pleasing,” said Ryan.

Ryan said the local airport's finances have also stayed in good shape.

“We have to make sure that the airport is financially viable,” he said. “We are required to run it like a business so it’s important that we keep good finances.”

federal block grant funds are used locally to help lowmoderate income populations are invited to apply to serve on a city advisory committee. Deadline to apply is June 30.

Community Development Block Grants are federal funds intended to help local low-moderate income communities provide af-

fordable housing, anti-poverty programs and infrastructure development. Applications are open for high school youth interested in serving on its CDBG Citizen Advisory Committee, which helps determine how those funds are best spent in Marysville.

The committee evaluates proposals, recommends

funding and reviews program performance within the frameworks of a consolidated plan and annual action plan. The vacancy is for a one-year term ending in July 2023, with the possibility for two additional one-year terms. Applicants must be of high school age and live within Marysville city limits.

Show and Shine returns June 10-11

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Classic cars and other vehicles will be on display on Olympic Avenue as the Show and Shine Car Show that returns on June 10 and 11.

The event is put on by the Downtown Arlington Business Association.

“It’s just a nice easy day and we just want to promote our little town,” said Cristy Brubaker, organizer for the event and treasurer for DABA. The event begins with a “warm-up day” on June 10 at 6 p.m.

“Cars are invited to cruise around Arlington,” said Brubaker.

Danny Vernon’s ‘The Illusion of Elvis’ will also be playing at the Legion Park stage at that time.

“On Saturday we will be closing off Olympic Avenue from Division to 1st Street and we will have all the cars come to park for the show,”

said Brubaker.

Registration will open at 7:30 a.m. and the forms are available at arlingtonwa.org or by e-mailing cristyb19@ gmail.com.

Those who want to participate are encouraged to come early as space is limited and the show often fills to capacity quickly, especially if the weather is good, said Brubaker.

Brubaker said she likes how residents come out for the car show.

“Arlington is a great community and when we have an event it brings all the locals out. You see people that you haven’t seen in a long time, especially now,” she said.

DABA helps to organize the event every year to promote the historic Olympic Avenue businesses as well.

“We like it as merchants because it brings people downtown,” she said.

On June 11, the Arlington Farmers Market will also be near the car show

Additional awards will also be given out as well.

“We’re doing it how we used to do it years ago,” said Brubaker, who added they will bring back some awards that are more fun and irreverent, such as awards for “Best Car to Go Bowling In” and “Car Most Likely to Break the Bank.”

The premier sponsor for this year's event is S&S Roofing.

“They have been great to work with and they have some cars of their own,” said Brubaker. “They enjoy car

culture and it’s nice to have a sponsor that is involved like that.”

Brubaker, who has organized the car show for many years, said this will likely be her last as leading the event.

“I’m looking for someone to step up next year,” she said.

She also wanted to show appreciation to those who are helping out this year.

“Thanks to all the people who volunteer and care enough about their community to get involved in this,” she said.

Sky PowerWash holds ribbon cutting

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Local business Sky PowerWash opened their first official office location in Marysville with a ribbon cutting on May 20.

The power washing business cleans roofs, siding, gutters and windows.

“We provide exterior cleaning services, and that is mostly residential with some commercial,” said owner Justin Noggle.

They also provide a holiday service to install Christmas lights.

The business serves residences from Mountlake Terrace to the Mount Vernon area, including most of Snohomish County.

“This business was run out of my home for six and a half years,” said Noggle, who added he was glad to be able to open their Marysville location after enough growth has come to the business.

“It’s amazing. It’s been a struggle with everybody that has been coming to our house everyday,” he said.

Sky PowerWash has a small local group of employees who will also benefit from having a physical location.

“It’s great for my employees because they have a place where they can be and feel comfortable now.”

people available to answer their phones when open, said Noggle, because power washing is something that may be needed quickly.

“The feedback I’ve heard is that people like the timeliness. We scale to meet the demand and try to not book out too far as it’s kind of a time-sensitive service that we provide,” he said.

Noggle got into the business a while ago. He used to be a commercial fisherman and did that until he was 30, he said.

“I quit that about five years ago when my daughter was born. Before, in the off-season, I had done pressure washing with my father-in-law,” he said.

During those winters he

said he gained a lot of experience in pressure washing.

“He was ready to retire so I bought his pressure washer from him. I never intended to start this business but I just saw there was a lot of demand, so that’s what I’ve done for the last few years,” said Noggle.

He said he thought this would be an off-season endeavor but has seen the need for a local power washing company in the community and tries to fill that need now.

Now, here is where it gets interesting. About 30+ years ago, a professor from Rutgers University by the name of Dr. Elwin Orton started a program of breeding to “save” the north American dogwoods that were being killed by insects and diseases. He crossed the eastern dogwood with the Korean dogwood (which is more disease resistant). His new hybrids reached the market in the early 90’s under the name of the Stellar Series.

They were all the rage and I remember selling lots of these improved selections to gardeners all over the Puget Sound.

While the Stellar Series was big hit, Dr. Orton continued his breeding program and began crossing the Korean variety with our

Starting in 2004, these new hybrids we released with the vigor and larger flowers of our native dogwood and the insect and disease resistance of the Korean species. Here are some of the choices on the market now: Venus: This is a vigorous tree reaching 25 by 25 in 10 years with creamy white flowers that can exceed 6 inches across.

Starlight: Similar to Venus only blooms about one week earlier and the flowers are slightly smaller and have a greenish tone.

flowers on this gem are shades of medium to light pink with deeper colors toward the edges. While the flowers are smaller than Venus, there are lots of them and can last about 3 weeks or more depending on weather.

Scarlet Fire: This variety is the result of open pollination and the university is in the process of determining the parentage. That being said, it is a gorgeous tree with dark deep pink to fuchsia flowers that literally glow from a distance.

be fairly drought resistant.

Newly purchased plants often take a few years to come into their own, so don’t be discouraged if your flowers are a bit underwhelming the first couple of seasons.

Keep them well watered and fed and they should reward you eventually. Needless to say, now is the time to observe dogwoods at your favorite garden center. And don’t forget, their bark is worse than their bite. Stay safe and keep on gardening.

Veterans Memorial at Haller Bridge unveiled For the past two years, I have been working with County Executive Somers and his staff to develop a memorial honoring the men and women from Snohomish County who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. We held a ceremony this past Memorial Day to remember and honor these brave men and women. At the ceremony, a monument was unveiled as a tribute to the 18 Snohomish County residents who gave their lives in the global war on terror.

This Veterans Memorial is located at the approach to the Haller Bridge where it crosses the Stillaguamish River. As part of the memorial project, Haller Bridge has been rededicated as a Veterans Memorial Bridge. This site will provide a dedicated space for residents and visitors of our county to solemnly and peacefully reflect on the great sacrifices which have been made throughout our country’s history to preserve the freedoms we enjoy today.

At the Memorial Day ceremony, I joined community members as we laid flowers along the bridge as part of a quiet, peaceful procession to take time to honor those lives lost and reflect on their brave sacrifice. Following the flower walk, we unveiled the mon-

ument and provided brief remarks.

I am thankful to those who attended the ceremony to dedicate the memorial and to remember and honor our servicemembers who have given their lives. We are blessed to live in the greatest nation on earth and it is important to never forget what that has cost.

I am also thankful to staff in the County Executive’s Office, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Snohomish County Arts Commission, our local artists, and veterans in our community for their multi-year work to make this project a reality.

In particular, county employee and U.S. Navy veteran Josh Dugan contributed a great deal of work on this important memorial project.

The project was funded over two years from County Council directed appro-

priations for community projects.

This new Veterans Memorial is the most recent addition to Snohomish County’s proud history of honoring the brave men and women who serve or have served in the United States military. We honor our veterans past and present through various Veterans Day ceremonies and those lost in service during our Memorial Day ceremonies. We also have the eternal flame at the Veterans Memorial at the County Courthouse plaza.

I am proud of this tradition of honoring our service members and excited that we have a new memorial to provide a peaceful place for Snohomish County residents and visitors to pay their respects at the Veterans Memorial Bridge near Arlington.

For more information about the memorial project, please do not hesitate in reaching out to my office at nate.nehring@snoco.org.

Local teams compete in tournament

By Nathan Whalen nathan@northcountyoutlook.com

One day after the spring sports season concluded, high school basketball teams hit the hardwood.

Ten teams competed in the Clint Thomason Memorial First Chance Tournament held May 29 and May 30 at Marysville Pilchuck High School.

“Everyone knows the teams are just coming together,” Marysville Pilchuck coach Luke Carpenter said.

“We want to compete to see where we are.”

With three returning varsity players and a lot of

junior varsity players coming up, Lakewood coach Anthony Wiederkehr said the tournament is the first time to work with the team.

“I like to throw them right into games to see how they do,” Weiderkehr said.

Arlington coach Nick Brown, whose team graduated nine seniors from last season’s squad, echoed Weiderkehr’s sentiments. “It’s kind of nice to get a feel for the new team.”

Teams competed in four games in the two-day tournament. Each game consisted of two, 20-minute run-

ning clock halves. Lynden won the varsity tournament and Glacier Peak won the junior varsity tournament.

The majority of schools competing in the tournament are 3A and 4A members of the Wesco Conference. Lakewood and Lynden, from the Northwest Conference, and Brewster, from the Central Washington 2B Conference, also competed.

Carpenter noted that Lynden won the 2A state basketball championship and Brewster was the runner-up in the 2B basketball tournament in 2022.

Lakewood’s Bakary Sonko runs between Stanwood defenders during a May 30 game at the Clint Thomason Memorial First Chance Tournament at Marysville Pilchuck High School.

Basketball teams will be practicing and playing in tournaments until the end of July. Arlington was in Seattle last weekend playing at a tournament at Franklin High School, Marysville Pilchuck was in Buckley playing in a tournament at White River and Lakewood competed in a tournament at Meridian.

Carpenter said the tournaments allow players to compete against teams they would never see during the basketball season. Marysville Pilchuck is participating in tournaments in Lynden and Glacier Peak later this month.

The Clint Thomason Memorial Tournament is named after a supporter of the basketball program who passed away in 2012. The tournament also serves as a fundraiser for the Marysville Pilchuck basketball team. It will help pay for the team to attend the Bobby Hurley basketball camp at Arizona State University.

Carpenter said the coaches and players clinic will provide exposure to life on a college campus and an opportunity to build memories with each other.

Following the trip to Arizona, the team will focus on skills development practicing three times a week through the end of July when a lot of kids will move to an AAU season, Carpenter said.
