Front Porch: Survivor Day planned
Published 8:09 pm Sunday, November 15, 2015
International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is when people affected by suicide gather to find comfort and gain understanding as they share stories of healing and hope. A local Survivor Day event will be held in Lynnwood on Nov. 21 at the Verdant Community Wellness Center, 4710 196th St. SW from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The group will view the documentary “Family Journeys: Healing and Hope After a Suicide,” which was produced by the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. The trailer is available at youtu.be/u_HoTrj8en4. The viewing will be followed by small-group discussions.

Update on Lynnwood Place: There’s no word when construction might start on Lynnwood Place, the new apartment complex with ground-floor retail planned on the old Lynnwood High School property.
The location is along 184th Street SW, north of Nordstrom and south of the new Costco. The developer, Texas-based Cypress Equities, is scheduled to start paying rent on the property in April, officials said.
The developer has submitted conceptual plans but has not yet applied for a building permit, officials said. Real estate listings have promised a Dave &Buster’s location — the first in Washington for the chain of adult arcade bars. The plans so far call for 330 apartments and 1,040 parking stalls, plus 89,500 square feet of commercial space.
