Unfortunately, @seattletimes.com erased the non-profit @myedmondsnews.bsky.social and the reporting by @a-rlnt.bsky.social that made this story possible.

Thank you @washingtonpost.com & @bellwak.bsky.social for giving us credit to the Lynnwood hygiene center story. Love the butterfly effect in journalism & love this quote.

“I really take ‘love your neighbor’ seriously,” Rick Steves said to The Washington Post.

This wouldn't have happened if @a-rlnt.bsky.social covered the story last month, and few people would know about until it is closed for good.

Thanks Rick! And also thanks to Angelica Relente (@a-rlnt.bsky.social), the Murrow News Fellow who first reported about the hygiene center. Angelica's reporting was supported by the non-profit @myedmondsnews.bsky.social and the state-funded #WSU journalism fellowships.

Our coverage of the closing of a local hygiene center last month spurred a philanthropist to buy the property for $2M. Donors in WA & other states chipped in remaining $500K to secure the land.

Thanks, @ricksteves.bsky.social

Thanks @a-rlnt.bsky.social for reporting

"There's one resource that we often struggle with as a community and that happens to be housing. The demand is so high that it's really difficult to keep up with the needs of our community."

So honored to speak with early-career journalists at the convention last week! Shoutout to Nick Ng for capturing these photos. 😌

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be speaking at the Asian American Journalists Association convention in Seattle this summer! Hope to see y’all there 🫶🏽 aaja25.org/registration #AAJA25

Congrats to my colleague @nickngjournalist.bsky.social! myedmondsnews.com/2025/06/mnnn...

Had fun covering prom night at Scriber Lake HS! It is smallest school of the five high schools in the Edmonds School District. A majority of the students there fall under the federal McKinney-Vento Act or are low income. myedmondsnews.com/2025/05/prom...

Stanford Chen was passionate about helping the next generation of journalists.

"They're not here because they're getting a paycheck. They show care."

Earlier this week, I spent a few hours at the South County Cold Weather Shelter in Lynnwood to watch how it works to keep folks out of the cold.

Looking forward to decorating that wall hehehe

Last week I hung out at the Jean Kim Foundation's Hygiene Center in Lynnwood. It is a one-stop hub for showers, food and clothes.

I got the chance to meet Petey. Having a hot meal is one of his favorite parts of the center. He likes meatloaf.
