Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Prep roundup: Monroe volleyball outlasts Stanwood (heraldnet.com) — Stanwood High's volleyball team pushed first-place Monroe to a decisive fifth set in a tight Wesco 3A/2A North showdown, ultimately falling 3-2 despite a big night from hitter Whitney Longspaugh. Local fans also get quick rundowns of other nearby volleyball and girls soccer results from around Snohomish County.
• First Amtrak Airo passenger trains start Wednesday on Cascades (lynnwoodtimes.com) — New Amtrak Airo trains begin running Wednesday on the Cascades route, and Stanwood riders will see more seats, modern interiors, Wi‑Fi, and cleaner engines on trains stopping right in town. The upgraded sets will gradually replace all older equipment by 2027, with daily trips linking Stanwood to Vancouver, B.C., Seattle, Portland, and Eugene.
• Bellingham officials concerned about Flock cameras, sharing of personal data (bellinghamherald.com) — Bellingham officials are questioning how AI-powered license plate readers and Flock cameras handle residents' data, and they're planning a public discussion on surveillance limits. For Stanwood residents, it's notable that the city is cited among Washington communities expanding Flock camera use, raising similar privacy and policing questions closer to home.
