I agree! I live in the north side of Lake Forest Park, and I wish there is better pedestrian and cycling safety. I frequent Third Place Commons 2-3 times a week, and I prefer not to drive there except during rainy or intense cold days. The infrastructure needs to change.

You mean putting a wastewater treatment plant on a golf course?

Within its borders, the Council unanimously approved 2 construction contracts for a combined total $287,353 to build an odor-controlling enclosure and install an air scrubber at the Edmonds Wastewater Treatment Plant.

No one except city staff & one reporter remained during this hearing.

Google Maps Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Looking at the streets on Google Map, it's a lure for dumbasses to race & speed. If we want to reduce or eliminate this crap, the infrastructure should change to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, like in parts of Europe.

I've been using this in the last 24 hrs mostly for work. As a journalist, sometimes I have to dig up old stories from our sites. Google & Bing have NOT been showing our content in the last several months, & it wastes my time.

So far w/ Kagi, I no longer have to search much to find what I need.

Two different search results of our publication's name: Google vs. @kagi.com

Ever since our brand changed from Lynnwood Today to My Lynnwood News last year, we don't show up on Google. After browsing and doing my work on Kagi today, I'm sticking with Kagi.

Every time the AP Stylebook publishes new guidelines about a war, I cringe a little, especially if it involves the U.S.

Some local journalists are keeping an eye and ear out to see how this affects our communities.

We are at war. Again.

Researchers in 1990s tested mechanical theories & found that stretching increases stretch tolerance w/ little physical change to muscle extensibility and muscle structure.

Weppler & Magnusson also attributed a person's subjective sensation to the elongated muscle feeling.

Stretching theories have been leaning away from a mechanical perspective to a mix of neural, psychosocial, behavioral & structural factors in past 30+ yrs.

In 2010, Weppler & Magnusson proposed a "sensory theory" in addition to existing mechanical theories.

The researchers concluded that correlation btwn sitting posture and back pain was weak, and that the upright posture was not something that could be said to be a fit for every person. Details in link above.

Gender, BMI, & activity levels also contribute to likelihood of having back pain. The study did find some evidence that more upright postures could still have positive impacts on quality of life, like emotional state, motivation, productivity and some cases back pain.

I watched this as a teen on VHS in the mid-90s. Favorite part is where he missed breakfast by a few minutes. Dedee Pfeiffer was a comic relief with her hat and fun demeaner. 😁

Drunk driving limit will not be lowered in Washington this year β€’ Washington State Standard An effort to pass a tougher drunk driving law in Washington has come to an end in the 2026 legislative session.

Opponents to lowering DUI limit from 0.08% to 0.05% say it "would drive away customers of bars, wineries & other hospitality businesses."

Progressive Democrats say this will result in police profiling & stopping more ppl in overpoliced communities.

Council and Sound Transit will be addressing that this spring as World Cup creeps closer. There's speculation that we'd see the same thing that happened during the Super Bowl paradeβ€”except this may be on a bigger scale with international visitors. Our reporter Ashley Nash will be on it.

FTR, it's Lynnwood, which is in Washington state.

Not Lynwood in California. :)

Don't know what Lynwood, CA, is doing with its Flock camera system, and Google keeps pointing me to Lynnwood, WA, instead. Typical.

LPD later discovered Flock had enrolled the PD in a nationwide search feature, granting reciprocal access to the 80,000-camera network w/o city’s informed consent, Langdon said. β€œIt was a reciprocal agreement that we were not aware of. This was not displayed or disclosed to us for quite some time.”

Just days after Lynnwood’s Flock cameras went live in late July, the department noticed a massive influx of searches of its database from out-of-state law enforcement agencies, despite only opting to share data with about a dozen neighboring departments.

City Council in January 2025 approved a 2-yr contract w/ Flock to install the cameras in high-traffic commercial areas, intended to reduce crime & help police locate suspects. The program was funded by $132,000 grant from Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority, matched by $38,000 from the city.
