QUOTES FROM OUR READERS
"Thanks so much for your work on the newsletter. It's an outstanding resource for business people, especially for Diane and I with three communities to stay involved with," Kerri, Lombardi's Cucinia Restaurant.

"I am not a downtown Everett business person, but I was given a copy of your Downtown News e-mail by my neighbor, Linnea Covington. As an Everett enthusiast, raised here, and returning two years ago after nearly 40 years away, I am excited to see the efforts you are making to promote the revitalization of Everett's downtown area. In just the short time I have been back, I have enjoyed many of the events that give Everett a special feel - Cruzin' Colby, Sorticulture, Fresh Paint, the waterfront farmers market, Salty Sea Days, Mukilteo Blvd. impatiens planting, Silents Please, Issaquah Theater productions. There are many things happening in addition to the Events Center that are draws to Everett, and your efforts to get the word out are appreciated."
