Today's riddle: I'm a rock group with 4 members; one member was assassinated. What am I? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Edmonds College disability program faces cuts after state funding loss (myedmondsnews.com) — Edmonds College's Pursuit program, which supports students with disabilities, is facing major cuts after losing about $200,000 in annual state DVR funding, potentially shrinking enrollment from roughly 300 students to just a few dozen. Staff say they may need layoffs and restructuring, while students like an Edmonds School District intern worry about affording services unless new funding or donations emerge.
2. FAFO: Flush and find out! (heraldnet.com) — Brightwater Wastewater Treatment Plant near Woodinville now offers popular free public tours, but Edmonds once was a finalist site before officials chose the current Highway 9 location. The piece explains how the region's sewage is treated, why Lake Washington recovered from pollution, and how Brightwater added trails, education space and even a wedding venue while keeping odors in check.
3. Citizen Suit Action/Safe Drinking Water Act: Federal Court Addresses Application of Parties' Contractual Mediation Clause (jdsupra.com) — A recent federal court order involving Edmonds School District No. 15 clarifies that a contract's mediation clause doesn't block a Safe Drinking Water Act citizen lawsuit over PFAS contamination concerns near Madrona K-8. For Edmonds-area residents, the case highlights ongoing scrutiny of local groundwater protection and how environmental responsibilities can extend beyond specific service agreements.
4. Prep girls soccer: Terrace stays perfect by holding off rally (heraldnet.com) — In Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace edged Edmonds-Woodway 2-1 to stay unbeaten in Wesco 3A/2A South girls soccer, despite a late Warriors push. The roundup also recaps results for nearby schools like Shorewood, Meadowdale, Everett, Snohomish, and Lake Stevens, giving local fans a quick snapshot of how area teams are starting their seasons.
