Weekly Goodness 6/20 - 6/26

SHARE WITH THE MAYOR
TUESDAY AT THE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY

Miss reading the troll comments for Mayor Stephenson in the Herald's former comment section? Then head to the Library's downtown branch on Tuesday from 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM to hear from the Mayor and probably a handful of his critics. Okay, in all seriousness it should be a good and informative time for civic-minded folks and we're grateful that our government wants to engage and connect with us. More info here.

JUSTICE BREWING NIGHT
WEDNESDAY AT CRUCIBLE BREWING

If only everyone got along as well as these 2 stellar local brewers. Go sample some Butterfinger Brown (and other beers), hang with the owner of Justice, and cheers some pints. More info here.

MUSIC AT THE MARINA
THURSDAY AND SATURDAY AT THE WATERFRONT

YESSS. Summer is here! Music at the Marina starts this Thursday with the Dusty 45's. Catch free live music and get down on the most picturesque dance floor every Thursday and Saturday evening outside of Lombardi's. Check out the 2016 music schedules here. Reserve a table here.

YOGAMOSA
SATURDAY AT BLUEWATER DISTILLING

Yogamosa combines the health benefits of yoga with the pleasure of day drinking (morning drinking, actually). Head to Bluewater on Saturday morning to get your stretch and drink on 😀. More info.

MUKILTEO CAR SHOW
SATURDAY AT HISTORIC FLIGHT FOUNDATION

So it's not in Everett, but close enough. The Mukilteo Car Show is this Saturday evening at the Historic Flight Foundation. Go and check out classic cars, airplanes and motorcycles, eat food, and listen to live music. It'll be a great family-friendly event. Oh and it's free! More info here.

DOWNTOWN EVERETT VINTAGE FAIR
SUNDAY AT BASECAMP

There's a super cool Vintage Fair happening at Basecamp on Sunday. The Downtown Everett Vintage Fair is a small indoor fair featuring twelve vintage vendors displaying a variety of mid century modern, Hollywood regency, french provincial, and just plain funky and retro findings for you to explore and take home for an affordable price! Everything from furniture and lamps, to jewelry, purses, clothing, and the tiniest of kitschy trinkets! More info.

CHUCK CLOSE:  PRINTS, PROCESS, COLLABORATION
THROUGH SEPT 5TH AT THE SCHACK

There are nearly 90 large-scale prints and working proofs by artist Chuck Close on display at the Schack Art Center right now. Admission is just $10. You MUST go see this. More info.

EAT + DRINK

Express Mexican Grill is the new food truck on 24th & Broadway (parked outside Tim's Bike Shop). We paid 'em a visit last Friday and we're kind of worried about how good it is. We already eat out way too much (blame the EVVY awards) and this will likely put us over the edge – being that it's so close to our office and REALLY delicious. They're open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 A.M. – 4 P.M. Live in Everett readers can get 10% off all orders plus a free horchata when you spend more than $20. Say promo code "Everett Food Truck" when you order at the window. See more and check out the menu on their Facebook, here.

Here's something everyone should do on a sunny Sunday in Everett. Grab a buddy and head to Silver Cup Cafe around 11 A.M. or so, go inside, order an iced coffee of some sort. Then, hit the road on foot and walk down to the Everett Farmers Market. It doesn't matter which route you take because every route is full of beautiful views. Grab lunch at the market and load up on whatever else you need for the week. Also, be sure to grab something in season to snack on for the walk back. The Rainer cherries are divine right now. It's about 4 miles and mostly flat. There are public restrooms and water fountains available once you get down to the waterfront/market area.
