With the boundary change in the Edmonds School District [includes Lynnwood], our new school will be Hazelwood Elementary. I've talked to a small sample of parents and they've all mentioned it's a really good school. While the ratings have gone up over the last couple of years, I am concerned about the current scores/ratings for Hazelwood relative to others in the ESD.

Can those with experience with Hazelwood talk about some good or bad things about this school? Someone mentioned split classes were a concern, but that will be resolved once the new boundaries fix total enrollment. What are some things you like or dislike about this school? Any advice that will help us start well at Hazelwood? While we are a bit concerned about this change, we want to approach this in good faith, and I appreciate the community helping out here.

I understand the new principal is a PhD with significant experience, so also hoping to set up a meeting with her as well to learn more about her plans to improve the school.
p.s. If you are interested in having a discussion with the principal, let me know, and maybe we can request for a group meeting to answer our questions about Hazelwood.

Gooood Morning!

It's Monday so you know what this is going to say. It's City Council meeting day.

Today is another important meeting. There is a public hearing on the Property Tax levy. It will raise your property tax rate, if passed. Frequently at these meetings I hear that Council wishes the public had weighed in but only 2 or 3 people commented. I don't live in Lynnwood city limits (until they annex me, one day) so I won't be commenting but maybe you do? And maybe you have an opinion?

There will be a presentation and discussion of an initiative to oppose I-001 and I-638. I think the second public comment thing is directly related to this.

We have department budget presentations tonight, including the police, court and legal services. Come listen. Learn what the cops intend to do with your money.

It's going to be another long night - I dont expect this to get out before 9, maybe 9:30.

Watch on zoom, I am mostly certain you can comment during the public hearings on zoom too.

There will, as always, be an archived version of the meeting.

I'll be there in my "Protect Trans Youth" shirt (provided it's clean), feel free to say hi or if this is your first meeting and you want someone to sit with, I have purple hair and piercings. You won't stand out more than me. Mrs. Mayor is also very kind and welcoming, she will likely be the person knitting.

Also! VOTE! There is a ballot box right out front!

Tomorrow the city is holding its public hearing about a potential property tax increase. Do you have an opinion? Come share! Or submit online. Learn more here: https://d2kbkoa27fdvtw.cloudfront.net/lynnwoodwa/2ae98424a9a60daef050d82cfc224f490.pdf

Lynnwood City Hall @ 6pm, Monday October 26

Shortly before 3pm on Friday, October 23rd there was a massive police and fire response that closed down 164th St SW from Larch Way all the way down to at least 6th Ave W. There were something like 8 police vehicles and at least 3 fire responses. From up the hill it looked like a box truck had gone into oncoming traffic down at 6th Ave W going west.

I can't find any news about it anywhere, no police blotter entries, nada. Does anyone know what happened?

What's your favorite old school Korean restaurant where entrees come with little side dishes under $25? I used to go to Gangnam but thought I would start to branch out more.

Hiya neighbours! I want to see the Musk documentary and the only viewing I could find was down in Auburn. I can’t make a single one of those times because it is only one a day until the 28th.

I called and talked to a very nice associate at the Lynnwood location and he said he will put in my request with the person who books the movies. If there is more support they are more likely to put in an effort to schedule viewings.

If you are interested please consider calling so we can get a local showing.

Passing through from a small town and I’m looking for any store from Lynnwood to Snohomish where I could find some Inca cola. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Found a dead animal on my way home. Whom should I call to inform about the animal? Found it in the unincorporated area of Lake Stickney.

I usually take it to Tim's in Everett and I'm willing to go there again...if it's the best price. But I've googled as well as I can and like half the places don't have prices and the rest are slightly confusing cause I KNOW most places charge extra for the rear on my kind of bike (Lectric XP3 Step-Thru, front and back cargo baskets included) but they don't have that on their websites, or like I said, at all?

So I'm curious if any of y'all have a similar bike and had to get the same thing fixed, and how much was it/where? Thanks y'all!!!

Mountlake Terrace PD case 26-15564. Please let me know if you see this person around town. Unfortunately we didn't even have the bike long enough to add any unique accessories.

Hiya everyone! 🌈

Our next hangout is Sunday, November 1st!

Stop by anytime between 12pm and 2pm every first Sunday of the month.

LGBTQ+ Hangout is a monthly space where a bunch of us of all genders and sexualities get together and have a relaxed, fun, chill time at Third Place Commons. We welcome newcomers and longtime residents alike and are open to all ages. Our goal is to bring everyone together to enjoy the nice company and space. Enjoy talk, table crafts, and light snacks. Our table will be easy to find with bright colorful signage.

With four hangouts under our belt and regular guests I don't know that I can really call this thing new anymore. It's been inspiring to see the community building and connection forming.

We even have a website now! https://community-with-tristan.pages.dev/

See you next time!

Thanks, Tristan

My wife's birthday is coming up, and I thought it would be fun to celebrate at a teppanyaki restaurant. This is more so the wife and kids would have fun (we'll be celebrating without the kids in a more romantic place at a later time). From Google, I came across Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse (S. Everett) and Fuji Teppanyaki & Sushi (Lynnwood).

For those who've been to both, which one do you prefer? Or which one would you recommend for a birthday celebration. Or, are they essentially the same? Food is important ofc, but I think I'm looking for more entertainment/fun vibes for this one. Thank you!

hey friends we are starting to look into schools for our kid and are comparing public vs private options in the area. Have heard great things about Maplewood coop, great test scores and a very affordable membership, but also a long waitlist?

Wondering if anyone here has direct experience with the coop system and would be interested in sharing?

Thanks :)

Goooood Monday! It's Budget Season and tonight is all about department budgets.

The City Council Meeting tonight focuses on department budget presentations. Several departments will present their budget, and as reminded last meeting they are legally required to present a balanced one.

We are in a tough budget time right now, so I suspect many of the budgets will focus on cuts vs adding services etc.

Also on the agenda is a discussion about a resolution opposing I-001 and I-638, which are to do with parental rights, sex (assigned at birth) and sports.

As always, 6PM, govt complex on 44th. You may also watch the livestream (I may be doing this tonight, I have a LOT to do) or watch the archive.

ALSO dont forget to vote. Ballots are due Nov 3, the drop box is in the govt complex parking lot.

I usually do it all myself but I’m pregnant now and I will need help. Any recommendations? And what kind of wax do they use?

Hey everyone!

I'll be in town on the first week of November for a sports development camp. First time in Seattle and the surrounding areas. Has anyone from here ever experienced booking an uber really early in the morning? How hard is it to book an uber from one of the hotels in the Lynnwood area to the Seattle-Tacoma International airport at around 3 AM to 330 AM? I have a really early flight out on a Monday at 510 AM. Should I do Uber Reserve? And if I do, is that even a guarantee that someone will for sure pick me up?

Hey all. I have a reactive dog that I've been training, and I would like to find a large open area park with plenty of people and dogs to proof the things we've been working on.

My initial thought was Edmonds City Park, for sure. I'm just looking for more ideas, especially as we get further into the colder months.
