2. Islanders can now directly support Mercer Island police (mi-reporter.com) — Mercer Island residents now have a direct way to financially support local police projects and community programs through the new Mercer Island chapter of the North Sound Police Foundation.

3. Influencers Make Their Mark at MIHS (mihsislander.org) — Two Mercer Island High School seniors are turning social media into serious side careers, building sizable followings on TikTok and Instagram while juggling school and the awkwardness of being recognized around town.
