📰 News we're reading

1. Passenger-only ferry service is launching between Everett and Langley (kiro7.com) — Starting June 4, Everett residents will have a new passenger-only Harbor Hopper ferry linking Everett’s waterfront with Langley several days a week through August 29. The 30–45 minute rides cost $10–$20, run Thursdays through Saturdays, and are timed around summer events like Everett’s waterfront concerts and World Cup watch parties, though bikes and pets aren’t allowed.
   

2. Lufthansa's First 777-9 Finally Takes To The Sky (aero-news.net) — Boeing’s first Lufthansa 777-9 just completed a three‑and‑a‑half‑hour maiden flight that took off from and returned to Paine Field in Everett, marking a key step toward certification. With a full passenger cabin already installed, the jet advances Boeing’s long‑delayed 777X program and keeps Everett at the center of next‑generation long‑haul aircraft development.
   

3. Prep softball: Everett clinches state spot with two upsets (heraldnet.com) — Everett High’s softball team punched its ticket to the 3A state tournament with two upset wins in a packed day of District 1 action at fields in Everett. Behind dominant complete-game pitching and clutch hitting from Anna Luscher, the Seagulls knocked off top-seeded Snohomish and then Stanwood, while several other district contenders battled through semifinals and loser-out games.
   

4. A Washington Tesla Model Y Performance Owner Drove 23,000 Miles in 8 Months and Spent Just $916 on Charging (torquenews.com) — A Washington Tesla owner shares detailed real-world charging costs while regularly driving between Vancouver, Seattle, Everett, Renton, Tacoma, and even into British Columbia. His experience highlights how home 240V charging keeps costs low, when Supercharging narrows savings, and why EV economics depend heavily on driving patterns and access to at-home charging rather than simple marketing claims.
   

5. Court dismisses push for clear access to Stanwood shoreline (heraldnet.com) — From an Everett-based Snohomish County courtroom, a judge dismissed a Wenatchee man’s bid to force the county to more clearly guarantee public access to a small Stanwood shoreline near Warm Beach. While the court agreed the right-of-way is public, the judge ruled signage and parking decisions are discretionary, and the activist now plans to fund a private land survey and pursue further legal action.
