MARINER—Mariner High School in South Everett was abuzz with the energy of the 4th annual Mariner Fest, a vibrant community gathering that drew hundreds of families to celebrate connection, culture, and opportunity. From face painting to job training, Mariner Fest showcased the heart of this so often overlooked District of South Everett.

“There’s a hunger for spaces where anybody can come, no matter their background,” Eric Howard, Executive Director of Sno-Isle Libraries told the Lynnwood Times. With the Mariner Community Campus on the horizon, that hunger for connection at Mariner Fest promises to soon find a permanent home, ensuring its spirit year-round.
