Editor’s update 10:30 PM: MyEverettNews.com was contacted via email this evening by a person who identified himself as a production labor crew supervisor for the staging company and he advised that he was the one who held the suspect until Everett Police arrived, not security for the Arena.

The victim was transported by Medics to the hospital.

Everett Police took a man in his 60s into custody.

Shortly after 1:00 PM, workers were reportedly setting up for a concert at the arena when there was a dispute between two men.

One stabbed another. Security employees were able to detain the suspect for Everett Police.

Medics from Everett Fire responded to give aid and transported the victim to Providence Regional Medical Center.

An Everett Police spokesperson said the suspect was in his 60s.

No word yet on the victim but the person’s condition was thought to be stable.

Tonight’s Christmas-Themed show at Angel of the Winds Arena in downtown Everett, Washington will go on with a scheduled start time at 8:00 PM.

Owner Jayda Perry in one of her treatment rooms at Emollience Massage and Wellness.

Emollience Massage & Wellness is in the Silver Lake neighborhood in south Everett.

“I’m an independent person and knew I wanted to work for myself,” Jayda told me when we met this week.

“When I was looking online for careers I noticed a lot of listings for massage therapists. I’m a mom of three, I take care of people and knowing I helped someone feel better is rewarding for me.”

Like a lot of small business owners in Everett, a major personal event led Jayda to this career path later in life.

Raising three children she needed something that offered flexibility and also a livable wage. In 2019 she found West by Northwest School of Massage on Hewitt Avenue in Everett, Washington. She invested in herself and began their program. When the Pandemic hit she was still able to learn in a hybrid program and graduate.

She began working in a corporate chain and built her skills, continuing to learn and grow. She still knew she wanted to work for herself and a couple of years ago found a space in a former denture clinic in the Silver Lake area on 19th SE.

“The space was completely raw and I had to remodel it to convert it to the vision I had for a special place where guests would feel safe, comfortable and be able to relax and escape their stress,” she explained. “I did almost all of the work myself, starting up front and expanding to additional space within the building.”

There’s now an infrared Sauna, two treatment rooms and a multipurpose room where they offer yoga, classes and special events.

Jayda describes her approach to treatment as a combination of reflexology, Champi Scalp massage, along with a Swedish massage to give the body a complete head to toe relaxation while adding pressure point therapy to areas of the back and shoulders for deep muscle tension relief.

One of her specialties is prenatal massage. “I love working with expecting moms,” she said with a huge smile. “It’s like a two-for-one!”

Jayda has two other therapists who work with her and they are available seven days a week. Appointment hours are 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Monday – Friday and 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM Saturday and Sunday. They do not accept walk-in clients.

Late in life career changes and self employment can be challenging and Jayda told me she was determined to succeed.

“I started off joining Facebook groups and learning from other’s experience, she said. “I began with Groupons to get people to try my services and that led to reviews and referrals. I’ve set up chair massages at community events and am working with people I met at my kids school’s PTA. I’m developing a teacher appreciation program.”

She offers gift cards and is part of the Spa Finders Gift Card program so people who live across the country can buy a gift card for friends and relatives here and she will honor those. She also started a drawing and gift card promotion for the month of December. If you’d like to learn more you can check out her website here and she’s also on Instagram.

Emollience Massage and Wellness is at 10830 19th Avenue SE Suite C in the Silverlake neighborhood in Everett, Washington. The phone number is (425) 230-3080.

“I found my purpose, I found my path and I believe in it,” Jayda told me as I left our meeting.

I’d say her investment in herself is paying off. Do yourself a favor and invest in yourself with some stress-reducing “me-time” and support another independent small business in Everett.

Hendrickson has been with Everett Police for over 26 years.

Everett Police Chief John DeRousse has selected Captain Jeff Hendrickson to serve as Deputy Chief beginning Sunday, December 3rd.

Major League Baseball has said Funko Field is not acceptable and a new stadium is required ASAP to keep the Aquasox in Everett, Washington.

Last week the Everett City Council delayed a vote on approving funds for consultants to study costs and locations for a new or upgraded stadium in Everett, Washington that would meet requirements set out by Major League Baseball.

Following a presentation by the Aquasox ownership, city staff and the current consultant, the Everett City Council voted unanimously to authorize two contracts totaling $1.1 Million dollars.

A preliminary look at the costs from the presentation given to the Everett City Council.

Per the presentation, there will be a number of steps that will require action by the Everett City Council over the next few years.

With the unanimous yes vote here’s what’s next.

She also called for the formation of a “fiscal advisory committee” to make sure all of the different entities that would or could be part of the funding mix stay aware that they are working together on behalf of the taxpayers who will be funding a big part of the stadium project.

Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin issued the following statement after the unanimous decision by the City Council.

“I want to thank our council members for their continued support of the important work our city has undertaken in partnership with Snohomish County, the AquaSox, community leaders and others, to explore our options to keep our beloved Minor League Baseball team. I also want to thank all the community members who have shared their support recently.

The AquaSox have been an important part of our greater Everett community for nearly 30 years and MiLB has been here even longer. There are relatively few options locally for affordable family fun and a night out at the ballpark is one our residents and visitors from across the county cherish.

In addition, the team has a significant economic impact on our area, bringing in millions in revenue and creating jobs, including employment opportunities for our youth.

The elevation of our team to a Class High-A has brought a higher caliber of play, an expanded schedule and new requirements for their stadium. While it’s important to invest in the necessities for our community, I believe it’s also incredibly important to keep quality of life assets like the AquaSox. These are the things that help make Everett a great place to live and visit.

To date, we have made significant progress towards identifying the most feasible and economically beneficial options either renovating Funko Field or building a new stadium elsewhere. In addition, we secured the largest grant award of $7.4 million from the State to go towards this project. The professional services agreements approved by Council will provide the expert support we need to move efficiently through the environmental review, site evaluation, project development and design stages.

I’m proud that our city’s elected leadership is committed to doing everything we can to maintain this vital economic development and recreation asset and ensure the AquaSox remain our home team for generations to come.”

Seasonal specials at various waterfront restaurants

Last week we told you they were hiring and today we’ve received a press release from the folks at Chick-fil-A that their location at West Mall Drive and Everett Mall Way will open Thursday December 7th. Here’s the release.

Chick-fil-A will open its first location in Everett, Washington on Thursday December 7th.

Located at 1124 SE Everett Mall Way, Chick-fil-A Everett Mall will be open for dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Guests of Chick-fil-A Everett Mall can also place an order for pickup or dine-in on the Chick-fil-A® App or online. The new restaurant will feature a dedicated entrance for Mobile Carryout, as well as Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated lane in the drive-thru where guests can pick up orders placed on the Chick-fil-A App. When joining the Chick-fil-A One® tiered membership program, guests receive points on every qualifying purchase which can be used to redeem available rewards.

This is the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Everett, joining 17 Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Seattle-Tacoma market.

Locally Owned and Operated
As full-time, hands-on leaders in their restaurants and communities, Chick-fil-A local Owner-Operators proudly reside in the areas in which they serve.

In Everett, Ediger will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 110 full- and part-time Team Members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.

The classic question “where are you from?” makes Ediger smile, as he was born in Dallas, Texas, and then traveled the world as a child with his missionary parents. While stateside, he first experienced Chick-fil-A on a family vacation in North Carolina, followed by fond memories of attending restaurant openings throughout the Southeast during college.

After graduation, Ediger spent several years in non-profit work and later as a pastor. With a heart for service and eager to learn more about the restaurant industry, Ediger was afforded the opportunity to join the leadership team of Chick-fil-A Totem Lake in Kirkland, where he supported the restaurant’s opening and later served as the General Manager.

Ediger and his family have lived in the Everett area for over half a decade, and as the local Owner-Operator, he looks forward to the many ways his restaurant can feel like home to his Team Members and Guests.

“I’ve had such special associations with Chick-fil-A as a Guest, but I never expected that Chick-fil-A would become such an important part of my life, both personally and professionally,” said Ediger. “I am so grateful to be taking this next step as a local Owner-Operator in a community that means so much to me and my family. I want this restaurant to be a place where people make wonderful memories and where there’s care on both sides of the counter.”

Caring for the Everett Community
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. will donate $25,000 to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Everett area to aid in the fight against hunger.

In addition, Chick-fil-A Everett Mall is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Everett area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.

Ediger’s restaurant will plan to participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need. To date, more than 23 million meals have been created from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from nearly 2,000 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Team Member Investment
Chick-fil-A Operators are committed to hiring, developing and retaining top talent and providing a positive work environment for people of all ages and backgrounds. Team Members have opportunities for flexible work hours and leadership growth, competitive pay and benefits, hands-on training and mentoring and the chance to apply for scholarships to support their continuing education. To-date, Chick-fil-A has awarded 252 scholarships in Washington, totaling over $562,000 to support continued education for its Team Members.

Delicious Food; Outstanding Customer Service
Chick-fil-A is known for creating a welcoming, remarkable restaurant experience, serving customers great-tasting food made with high-quality ingredients, including the original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich. Made with a real, whole, boneless breast of chicken with no added fillers, the breaded chicken is pressure cooked in fully-refined peanut oil. Chick-fil-A was one of the first in the industry to eliminate chicken raised with antibiotics to ensure guests have an option for high-quality food on the go.

To complement the great-tasting chicken, fresh produce is delivered to Chick-fil-A restaurants up to six times a week for the best quality and flavor. The fresh ingredients are raised and grown by farmers who share the company’s elevated quality and safety standards, so guests feel good about their meal.

Now through December 15th there’s an online open house that is providing information and asking for feedback. In addition, there will be an in-person meeting this Thursday November 30th from 5:00 – 7:30 PM at WSU Everett Campus Room 101 (915 N. Broadway, Everett WA 98201 at the intersection of Broadway and Tower Street). Here’s more background and information as provided by the City of Everett.

1.What’s the difference between this study and the US 2 West Trestle study?
The I-5 / US 2 Interchange Planning Study was borne out of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) studies of the US 2 corridor, including the westbound trestle. Those studies identified the need for more planning and investigation into the I-5/US 2 interchange, which is west of the US 2 trestle. Traffic volumes are expected to continue to grow within the City of Everett and in the region creating further strain on this interchange. Congestion at the interchange will limit effectiveness of a future westbound US 2 trestle replacement, which is why we’re studying ways to make it more functional.

2.What will the I-5 / US 2 Planning Study evaluate?
This study will evaluate the existing interchange, connections to local streets, all the travel modes through it and how they will be impacted by the expected increase in traffic volume in the future.

3.What is the outcome of the I-5 / US 2 Planning Study?
The study will come up with an alternative(s) for redesigning the I-5/US 2 interchange and connections to City streets that will better serve the community and region.

4.How will the public be able to provide input to the study?
There will be three open houses throughout the study where members of the public can offer input and feedback. Please refer to the Timeline and budget tab at everettwa.gov/I5US2study to learn more.

5.I see my property on the proposed concept maps. When will I know if my property will be affected by the project?
At this point in the project, we are identifying and evaluating improvements to the interchange and city streets that connect to it. In the spring of 2024, we plan to draft and publish our final study report which will include recommended concepts to advance. There are other planning efforts in the area, including the WSDOT US 2 Westbound Trestle Planning and Environmental Linkages Study, Sound Transit’s Everett Link Extension, and WSDOT’s I-5 Corridor Study, which may affect the selection of a preferred interchange design improvement. Once we publish our final study report, we will begin the process of planning, developing concepts and conducting an environmental review. During environmental review, individuals whose property may be acquired or affected will be contacted.

We welcome your feedback as we develop improvements that serve the needs of the community. Our second open house is currently live, and we encourage you to submit your feedback by participating in our open house before it closes on December 15, 2023.

This in today from the fire department in Everett, Washington.

The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center. Photo provided by Everett Fire.

Fire crews arrived to find an unconscious male in the room with his clothes on fire. Firefighters quickly extinguished the remainder of the fire on the clothes and patient.
Paramedics treated the patient, a 31-year-old male, for second and third-degree burns to his torso, arms, and neck and transported him to Harborview Medical Center, where he remains hospitalized. It is suspected that the use of fentanyl or opiate use may be a contributing factor in this incident.

The misuse of opioids and fentanyl is a growing concern in Washington State and across the United States. It is important to note that overdoses can occur intentionally or accidentally, even if it’s the first time taking a drug, whether it’s illicit, prescription, or over-the-counter. Minutes count in an opioid overdose. If you think someone has overdosed, follow these steps:
1. Check for signs of overdose.
2. Call 911
3. Give Naloxone (Narcan®) and start rescue breathing.
4. Stay with them.

Naloxone, also known as Narcan®, can reverse the effects of opioids and save lives during an overdose. Having the medication with you can save a life.
Naloxone can be purchased without a prescription from various pharmacies in Snohomish County and throughout Washington State. The antidote kits cost about $150 and may be eligible for insurance coverage. If you have Apple Health (WA Medicaid) there’s no copay. You can find free naloxone near you by visiting stopoverdose.org.

Fortunately, Washington State offers a range of resources to support service providers, families, and young people in their efforts to combat fentanyl and opioid use, as well as the risk of overdose. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, here are some resources:
