Weekly Goodness 5/9 - 5/15
ENGAGE EVERETT
WEDNESDAY AT THE BUZZ INN
Head to the new Buzz Inn on Broadway to enjoy a Billy Burger and hear an update on the Riverfront Redevelopment Project from the City's Economic Development Director, Lanie McMullin. If you've never been to an Engage Everett event, here are a couple things to know: one, it's a great networking event for local professionals; two, it's totally worth attending even if networking isn't your thing because you learn about what's happening around the city; three, there's usually food/drinks. More info here.

EVERETT COMEDY NIGHT

EAT + DRINK
We're heading to Everett's new Cafe Wylde this week to check it out and report back to y'all. We've heard great things and if the food tastes as good as it looks on Instagram, it's going to rule.
We've been arguing in the office about who serves the best fish & chips. Do you have an opinion on this? Send us a note with a suggestion and maybe we'll make it June's EVVY Award category.
ON THE BLOG
Everett's best burger was crowned last week. Thanks to everyone who voted in last month's EVVY Awards. See who won, here.
We're not hosting the EVVY awards for May. However, we are hosting the Everett Food Truck Mini Fest at Fisherman's Village. Read all about it here.
Also, mark your calendar for August 27th. We're hosting the main Everett Food Truck Festival that day. Stay tuned for more information coming your way soon!
