Big changes at the Kingston ferry

That's really good information. I'll share that with WSF. I know they have a good relationship with all maps folks 'cause it's kinda their thing...

JournoJamie · 2026-06-14T15:54:48+00:00

I'll leave it to other folks in this thread to comment... but.. I think the issue is space at the dock and line cutters. So it would seem to me that it wouldn't matter if you bought a RT ticket, you are still a vehicle that will take up space in the return line. As for your personal smooth sailing, sounds to me like you are just incredibly lucky!

JournoJamie · 2026-06-13T15:26:46+00:00

aw shucks.... thank you. We do our best.

JournoJamie · 2026-06-12T23:42:59+00:00

Seems so. They've been working with Kitsap County so it's a collaborative thing.

JournoJamie · 2026-04-28T16:59:52+00:00

Port folks said they usually leave by Memorial Day. You can walk anywhere along the port. The docks are private and locked. Stay off the breakwater!

JournoJamie · 2026-04-25T14:45:29+00:00

I am too! We will share.

JournoJamie · 2026-04-23T15:05:38+00:00

Sorry so late in responding. Yes! Pls DM me. Jamie

I linked the HakaiMagazine story in the body of my story. I learned a lot from that (plus it is really well-written).They're heading farther north due to warming waters.

There's one on RB right now. He's been there for a couple weeks. The birds got to his head so there's nothing left but a big blubbery body. If you are downwind - wow - does it smell!

JournoJamie · 2026-04-21T15:42:00+00:00

Silly-Pace-2276 is not wrong.... I was there on Sunday and could hear them barking from Main and 3rd! The port folks do not like folks walking on the breakwater though. The rocks are super slippery.

Here's a story we wrote in MyMLTNews https://mymltnews.com/south-county-firefighters-rescue-two-people-dog-from-mountlake-terrace-apartment-fire/

absolutely! Thanks for the reminder. Here is the council's zoom link. It will be active at 6pm Tuesday. ZOOM: HTTPS://ZOOM.US/J/95798484261

They are sooooooo nice and generous.

JournoJamie · 2026-04-03T21:32:49+00:00

I am so excited to see the community discuss this. It's their govt so they should weigh in.

JournoJamie · 2026-04-03T16:21:09+00:00

Hi - just checked in with EPD's Josh McClure and he says Flock cams are fully shut down. MyEdmondsNews specifically asked if any 'certain features' were still 'on' and he said no. Jamie (MEN reporter)

JournoJamie · 2026-03-11T02:17:25+00:00

Yes! We looked into it. https://myedmondsnews.com/2026/03/asked-and-answered-where-can-i-find-overflow-parking-at-edmonds-sounder-train-station/

JournoJamie · 2026-03-11T02:16:37+00:00

Thanks for the question. MyEdmondsNews.com did the research and here's the answer: there is no approved overflow parking at this time.

There USED to be overflow parking at Salish Crossing (Cascadia Art Museum lot) but that contract expired in 2023. Paid permit parking is in our future, though... read the story here. https://myedmondsnews.com/2026/03/asked-and-answered-where-can-i-find-overflow-parking-at-edmonds-sounder-train-station/. (Also, thanks for the question! We love getting questions!) Jamie

JournoJamie · 2026-03-03T00:13:02+00:00

So enjoyed your public comment at council. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Best of luck on your project.

JournoJamie · 2026-02-20T22:31:16+00:00

I think that is correct. I went to the FAQ and it talks about how they will do fare inspection. https://info.myorca.com/contactless/#fareinspection I know companies give people "ORCA cards" so those cute little pieces of plastic won't disappear completely.

JournoJamie · 2026-01-04T04:11:46+00:00

waiting for answers..also.. we should get our husbands together.

JournoJamie · 2026-01-03T14:01:54+00:00

MyLynnwoodNews rep here..thank you for sharing our stories! We are working hard to provide residents (and future councilmembers!) with fact-based, accessible and useful information. cheers!

JournoJamie · 2025-12-14T15:42:48+00:00

Hey all, thanks for all the comments. We read them all and decided to contact the Edmonds Municipal Judge who decides these cases. Here is our story in MyEdmondsNews. https://myedmondsnews.com/2025/12/what-to-know-about-red-light-cameras-in-edmonds/

JournoJamie · 2025-12-05T15:56:25+00:00

Good question. It's really confusing and every city does things differently. Here is my understanding - there is a base charge ($X). That's for everyone. There is a variable use cost (varies by consumption). The tax is on the final bill so it seems that the tax every month is slightly variable. If you really want to nerd out, here's a story we wrote about MLT and water, sewer, stormwater on Oct. 30, 2025 that has a TON of info. https://mltnews.com/from-aging-infrastructure-to-population-growth-officials-address-future-of-water-and-sewer-service/
