2. Mother arrested in Edmonds in connection with death of 2-year-old child (mynorthwest.com) — Edmonds residents should know that a 44-year-old mother was arrested in the city Tuesday in connection with the 2022 death of her 2-year-old, who was pronounced dead at Swedish Hospital in Edmonds after being found unresponsive in Lynnwood. Investigators say the child had been left in his mother's car overnight and seized suspected fentanyl, heroin, and drug paraphernalia during the lengthy probe leading to manslaughter charges.
3. Sick-out shuts down Edmonds/Kingston route all day Monday (edmondsbeacon.com) — Ferry riders from Edmonds saw all sailings on the Edmonds/Kingston route halted Monday morning after 23 engine room employees called in sick and no qualified staff stepped in.
