Last week, I spent a little time walking right along Colby. I was struck by the large number of vacant store front spaces. Which surprises me, since retail space in the region is in high-demand. I guess we can see the upper bound of that. Perhaps Everett is considered too far from Seattle. I find that interesting as it's only 35 miles, 44 miles to Seatac airport. There's a great arts community up here, with the  Everett Philharmonic , the  Village Theatre  and the  Schack Arts Center , just to name a few. Plenty of businesses occupy the larger buildings, banks, escrow companies, the offices for  Snohomish County , and, of course, the  City of Everett's  offices. The city has an amazing amount of potential. I hope that the business community realizes it and helps Everett grow...and grow the right way. Maybe that can Everett's call to glory: smart and compassionate growth! Just a thought.

Yesterday was an interesting one. While sitting in a clock hour class up above downtown Everett, our region's windstorm made it's presence well known. Quite the bluster! Even in the 6th floor of a modern high-rise, we could hear the wind. My friends and family came through reasonably unscathed, most injurious were power losses and fence destruction. With the storm, traffic was significantly eventful and my poor instructor quite late. I took the opportunity to chat with many of the good folks at Everett's First American Title office. Such great people! A few folks I've known for years, but have never met. Such is the nature of modern business! Our class covered the Escrow Process, where we focused on several key changes and issues facing this sector. One of the biggest: cyber-fraud. I've been hearing an amazing number of cases of spoofed, or near-spoofed email addresses where funds are redirected. With this, we covered ways in which our business is responding t...
