Mukilteo

rushed through my head as my family and I raced around to get everything finished. We struggled to pack, move, sell a house, rent a house, and find a proper school in time. Where will we go? H0w will we get there? What happens now? Since we had no time to even move fully my parents decided where we would live and what school we would go to based on the best district of education. Since my mom’s job was in Everett, we had to live relatively close to there, in Mukilteo. At the same time we chose the only condo available in the Harbour Pointe school district. Then, suddenly my dad exclaimed, “Oh my gosh!” “I just noticed that school in the Mukilteo school district starts on September 2nd instead of September 7th this year!” He…

Surrounding the fish stand from far the abstract crafts can be visible with their light colors, the harsh…

As you are well aware, gun violence in the United States has been increasing and is becoming especially present in Washington. Following the January 26th shooting near Belfair, we have seen 7 more cases of mass shootings in our state alone. Thats over 30 people who will never return home to their families. I never believed that a shooting would affect me, until June 30th, 2016. This was the day of the Mukilteo shooting where a jealous ex-boyfriend went to a house party and killed 3 people, one…

To gather information about mechanical engineering, I interviewed Graham Jessup, a graduate from the University of Washington and a mechanical engineer at Electroimpact Engineering; a company based in Mukilteo Washington. Electroimpact is a world leader in design and manufacturing of aerospace tooling and automation. During the interview that took place through several emails, I learned much about what mechanical engineers are required to know, and how they use that knowledge to fully accomplish…
