EVENTS
Coming together for Mariner
The vision of what a community center might look like for the Mariner area will gain shape at a public meeting Saturday at Mariner High School. The idea for the Mariner Community Campus project began in 2017 when state Sen. Marko Liias visited the new Mariner Library. Since then, Liias, Sno-Isle Libraries officials and community partners have been working toward the vision of a center to improve access to basic needs and resources for residents of the Mariner area.
Saturday’s meeting is the first of two to gather community input. The second meeting is scheduled for May 11. Both will be from 2 to 4:30 p.m. in the Mariner gym, 200 124th St. SW, Everett. Translators for Spanish, Russian and Vietnamese speakers will be available, with free childcare and international food snacks.
All shook up
The Big Shaker, a mobile earthquake simulator with the ability to produce shaking equivalent to a magnitude 8 earthquake, will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 19, at 3813 Rucker Ave., Everett.
People can experience the simulation and also learn about disaster preparedness. Food trucks will be at the event. Free.
