Snohomish Countys Light Rail Communities project will host a vir- tual workshop seeking public input. A workshop for future planning decisions for the geographic area near planned light rail stations in un- incorporated county will be available through September 25. This workshop is part of the second phase (subarea planning) of the multi- year Light Rail Communities project. The workshop explores the topics of growth and housing and seeks pub- lic input on where they envision dif- ferent housing types being located. The first phase, station area plan- ning, of the project was centered around gathering public input on planned light rail station locations. The result of that two-year process culminated in the county council pass- ing a resolution indicating a publicly favored option. Find more information about that work and a video stream of the pre- sentation to council on the project web page at www.snohomishcountywa. gov/4068/Light-Rail-Communities. This is a once-in-a-lifetime op- portunity to leverage major transpor- tation investments to benefit Snohom- ish County, said Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers. Final decisions on the actual sta- tion locations and alignment will be made by the Sound Transit Board, but the countys project will help inform a Subarea Plan and future transporta- tion planning. It will also inform the countys Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan and regional planning efforts. The voter-approved Sound Tran- sit 2 and Sound Transit 3 will extend light rail from Northgate to Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood and eventually onto Everett via Paine Field. In the ST3 plan, two stations will be located in the unincorporated county at 164th St. ay the Ash Way Station and 128th St. at the Mariner Station near their respective intersection with I-5.
Future of housing near planned light rail workshop
Emma Leedy of Snohomish Coun- tys Domestic Violence Services was a guest speaker at Mill Creek Chamber meeting. Her handout on the impact of COVID-19 was prepared by the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence of Snohomish County: Home is not a safe place for everyone. Domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse thrive in silence. When people are isolated from friends, family and community, it can give an abusive person a tremendous amount of power and control. Stress, financial challenges and stay at home orders brought about by COVID-19 dont cause someone to be- come abusive, but they can significant- ly escalate an abusive situation. The ability to track and monitor someone is intensified in this time of social distanc- ing. At the same time an abusers con- trol is growing, their partners access to resources and support are shrinking. When someone has limited access to money and housing, they have fewer options to find safety and independence from an abusive partner. The economic impacts of COVID-19 a are both an immediate concern as well as something we are worried about long-term, particularly for communi- ties that are already marginalized. Hearing the phrase, stay safe, stay home, can be incredibly isolat- ing to someone if their home isnt safe. Reach out to the people we care about. Knowing someone is there to listen can be a lifeline. Domestic violence and sexual assault programs across our state are working tirelessly to help people plan for their safety. You are not alone. Help is available. Resources like the National Domestic Violence Hotline and the National Sexual Assault Hotline are available 24/7. If speaking on the phone isnt safe while you are at home with your partner, you can also chat online 24/7. Play an important role in support- ing people impacted by domestic and sexual violence. WSCADVs Friends & Family Guide has tips and tools for how to stay connected to the people you care about. Just reaching out can be in- credibly helpful to break isolation. Stay socially connected, even when we are physically apart.

This food is intended for the Mill Creek Community Food Bank. Due to COVID-19, Aleia, who is in her mid- 80s, has not been able to make her regular monthly donations.
Leanne Aleia donates bags of food
Determined to get the food to the people who need it, Aleia called Mill Creek City Hall to ask for assistance with getting her food donations to the food bank. The passport program customer service team heard about this request and thought we could volunteer to help Mrs. Aleia and the Food Bank, said Jodie Gunderson, administrative supervisor. There are so many people strug- gling right now and this donation would help several families in need, she added. Aleia said she experienced hunger as a child and is determined to help others avoid the same. I remember the pain of being hungry and know there are kids experiencing the same hunger as I did. I decided years ago to donate food to my local food bank. She added, I look for specials and buy mac n cheese, boxed potatoes, rice and other food that people can use. Then the next thing you know, I have a truck load of food ready to donate. Aleia wants to help as many people as possible and give back to her com- munity. Giving back runs in her fam- ily. Her granddaughter Taylor Miles, 20, helps Aleia sort and transport food to the donation drop off at city hall.
On Wednesday, August 26, Miles joined the city staff, who volun- teered during their lunch hour, to pick up the food from Aleias home. The volunteers filled the entire pick- up truck bed with food donations. There was enough food leftover to fill another truck bed and a half! Aleia said.
The customer service team filled seven grocery carts of food at the Mill Creek Community Food Bank.
This is such a wonderful dona- tion, our shelves were starting to run low, said a food bank volunteer. Aleias donation gave the Food Bank an additional 925 pounds of food.
Our team really enjoyed this op- portunity to help others and we look forward to volunteering again, said Gunderson.
