This week's Weekly Goodness is presented by Lombardi's Italian Restaurant. We could go on and on about how great Lombardi's is, but it would not be news to anyone. Year after year they provide excellent food, service, and value and we're grateful to have them as a sponsor. 

THINGS TO DO IN EVERETT, WASHINGTON

CELEBRATING WOMEN EXPO 2016

WEEKLY DEALS

We're going to be launching a new section of the blog called Weekly Deals in October. Every week we'll be featuring awesome local coupons just for you guys. If you're a local business and interested in participating, give us a holler.

Speaking of deals, this week is your last opportunity to get 20% off coffee beans, wine, beer, or a batch of cold brew at Silver Cup Coffee on Colby. Print off their coupon, or show it on your phone. Go get it.

ON THE BLOG

Food that looks like art or art that tastes like food? Either way, there's a new bakery in town.

A sneaky Scandinavian has been spotted brewing mead in downtown Everett.

Life on the road with Fauna Shade = lots of driving, inhaling veggie sushi rolls, and good times.

Crucible turns one, Tommy's turns ten. Birthdays all around.

IN OTHER NEWS

If you haven't already, it's time to do some field research and go get your hair did. Voting for September's EVVY Awards for Best Hair Salon or Barber ends this Friday! Once you're looking freshly trimmed, show us the evidence by sharing it on Facebook or Instagram using #evvyawards.

Drink for a good cause and enjoy a specialty drink during Cocktails for Hope at Bluewater Distillery. For every specialty drink sold, Bluewater will donate $1 to Housing Hope. But don't wait to stop by; the campaign ends this Friday.
