EVENTS
Yankee Doodle Dash
It’s the last chance to run through the streets of downtown Everett with the YMCA on the Fourth of July.
The Everett Family YMCA hosts its 20th annual Yankee Doodle Dash — Family Fun Run at 8 a.m. July 4, at 2720 Rockefeller Ave. Check-in starts at 7 a.m. This is the final year because the YMCA is moving to a new building at 4730 Colby Ave. in the fall.
There are three races to choose from: 1 mile, 5K or 10K. Online registration for the 5K and 10K is open until July 1. You also can sign up at any Snohomish County YMCA. Save a spot for the 1-mile dash between July 2 to 4 only at the Everett YMCA.
Prices vary based on age and course. Register online at ymca-snoco.org/yankee-doodle-dash.

Edmonds waterfront changes
The city’s Architectural Design Board has scheduled a special meeting at 7 p.m. Monday to discuss the redevelopment of the Edmonds Senior Center site on the waterfront.
The meeting is to take place in City Council Chambers, 250 Fifth Ave. N., Edmonds.
The proposal would include parking and beach access, with a new walkway in front of the Ebb Tide condominiums. The proposed Edmonds Waterfront Center building, at approximately 26,000 square feet, would be used for both senior center programs and city services. The new walkway would provide continuous pedestrian access along the downtown Edmonds waterfront.
The board’s review of the design will result in a recommendation to the city hearing examiner, who has scheduled a public hearing about the project May 23.
