• Prep roundup: Snohomish, Stanwood, Everett sweep volleyball matches (heraldnet.com) — Stanwood volleyball fans can celebrate a dominant home sweep over Marysville Getchell, with strong performances from several Spartans in a straight‑sets win. The prep roundup also recaps other Wesco and non-league volleyball results and cross-country meets around Snohomish and neighboring counties, giving Stanwood readers a quick look at how nearby teams are faring early in the season.
   

• Sultan, Stanwood outpace Seattle as growth shifts north (seattlered.com) — Stanwood is among Washington's fastest-growing cities, with population up about 21 percent since 2020 as people seek cheaper homes, quieter streets, and leaders wary of raising taxes. The piece contrasts Snohomish County's surge with Seattle's slowing growth and highlights how remote work and fiscal restraint are reshaping where Puget Sound residents choose to live, including right in Stanwood.
   

• A New Era Arrives: Airo Trains Make Their Amtrak Cascades Debut (amtrak.com) — Stanwood travelers will soon be able to board brand-new Amtrak Airo trains on the Cascades route, bringing more seats, modern amenities, and a smoother ride through Northwest Washington. Federal and regional leaders say the U.S.-built fleet will boost rail reliability, cut pollution, and better connect Stanwood with Bellingham, Everett, Seattle, Oregon cities, and the broader Pacific Northwest corridor.
