📰 News we're reading
• Sarah McLachlan, Bat Boy, Shadows of a Fleeting World, and more (heraldnet.com) — Island Shakespeare Festival is bringing Macbeth and a new Robin Hood play to its outdoor forest stage in Langley, with pay-what-you-will performances through early September and plenty of extras like swordfight demos and a picnic area. The broader calendar also lists concerts, art shows, and book events around Snohomish County and nearby communities.

• After 13 years, it's still a beautiful Rock and a lovely Hard Place (southwhidbeyrecord.com) — Langley gets a brief but telling mention here as one of the few Whidbey communities with city sewer service, contrasted with most island residents’ backyard septic tanks. Longtime columnist Harry Anderson looks back on 13 years of stories about life on “the Rock,” from MusselFest and historic Coupeville families to COVID quirks and local businesses.
