Everett Public Schools, in partnership with the Everett Public Schools Foundation, is pleased to announce the 23rd Annual Art Shows for spring will be virtual this year.

Submissions are now being accepted from student artists.

If you look up "perfect cat" in an encyclopedia, you will find a picture of our cat of the week Madeline. She personifies perfection! Friendly, affectionate, smart, playful, silly, the list goes on and on.

From the moment Madeline meets you, you're her best friend.

Have you seen the cartoon that refers to a zoom meeting as a séance with characters commenting “Are you there Alice?” or “Can you hear me?”

Being of a certain age, I guess the shoe fits—or more appropriately, the garden glove fits!  

If you’re on the search for a Valentine’s Day date, stop looking - right now! Our cat of the week Silver is your match! This three-year-old is everything you could want in a cat companion and more. He’s gentle, loving and playful.

Every time I walk through the nursery this time of year I am struck by the amazing variety of plants on display that have what I would call “winter interest.” By this I mean that they have some distinct quality that makes them stand out in the winter garden. 

The best things in life come in pairs – like peanut butter and jelly, chips and dip, Miss Piggy and Kermit. And so do these brothers!

Our dogs of the week Bubba and Magnus are a bonded pair of siblings ready to add tons of spunk, joy and silliness into your home.

There’s nothing like a fresh bowl of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries straight out of the garden, and now is the time to plant them!

All of these berries are well suited for growing in the Northwest and are readily available from garden centers this time of year.
