EVENTS
Brainstorm a better world
School is out, but kids can still put their brains to work — and for a good cause. “Brainstorm a Better World” comes to Sno-Isle Libraries this month. Kids ages 5 to 11 can share stories of kids who make a difference, and stuff “survival sacks” for the homeless. Remaining sessions are at 2 p.m.:
– Tuesday at the Edmonds Library, 650 Main St.
– Wednesday at the Mukilteo Library, 4675 Harbour Pointe Blvd.
– July 24 at the Mariner Library, 520 128th St. SW
– July 27 at the Lynnwood Library, 19200 44th Ave. W
Walk with the city
The mayor won’t be able to make the next Walk with the Mayor event in Stanwood, but city administrator Ryan Larsen will take his place. The informal walk-and-talk Wednesday starts at 7:30 a.m. from Rite Aid (26817 88th Ave. NW), proceeds about one mile to City Hall, then loops back to Rite Aid.
