The Weekly Goodness: July 3rd, 2017
hey there, that tan is coming along nicely ☀️
We met some friends at Narrative Coffee and rode down to the first Music At The Marina of the season. Check it out in this week's Live in Everett TV.

Things got a little grimy last month, many wet wipes were sacrificed for our cause. But the votes are in, and we have crowned J & L BBQ Everett as Everett's Best BBQ! Congratulations guys!
Now that you've had your fill of BBQ, get someone else to make you a sandwich. Because let's be real, your significant other is tired of hearing that request from you all the way from the living room. It's time to vote for Everett's Best Sandwich Joint!
There are so many good events this week. SO. MANY.
OUR SANDY ISLAND OF WONDER: Jetty Island Days FIRST DAY!
One of Everett's hidden gems is in plain sight: it's that long, skinny island just past the Port known as Jetty Island. Pack your swim trunks and catch the first free ferry of the season Wednesday starting at 9:45 AM.

Join the Bluewater gang for a special Yogamosa as they soak up the sun out on the docks Thursday at 6 PM. After you've finished the hour set, enjoy some bubbly and light appetizers.
