Column was just fear-mongering

The column by Julie Muhlstein in the Friday The Herald is absolutely appalling in every respect. Installing fear in the public’s minds (plus her own children) is the worst kind of news media information that can possibly be put to print.

In all walks of life, in every place or country there is tragedy, except Edmonds, according to her. Where is she writing about solutions? When is this city ever going to have a newspaper with positive, pro-active reporting? Everett has so many good things to write about, they just never seem to be worthy of The Herald.
