Updated on August 27, 2018 Leonard Kelley holds a bachelor's in physics with a minor in mathematics. He loves the academic world and strives to constantly explore it. Many mysteries of the Moon continue to astound us. Where did the water come from? Is it geologically active? Does it have an atmosphere? But these all might be dwarfed by the origination question: how did the Moon form? If you want to escape now before we dive into this mess, do so now.

Real estate cooling with the fall weather
By Todd Fahlman The real estate market is open 365 days a year – yes, even on holidays – but there are cyclical trends to the marketplace. Some of those ups and downs are based on mortgage interest rates and housing availability, but some are based on season. Next to spring, fall is the busiest season for home buying and selling. Autumn offers certain benefits to home buyers, including year-end tax breaks, pleasant weather conditions for moving and a wide selection of homes for sale.
More progress being made on MIC
By Jon Nehring A key part of the city’s long-range economic development strategy is the Arlington-Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center. This 4,000-acre site includes properties in northeast Marysville and southwest Arlington. Nearly 1,800 acres – about 44 percent of the total land area – has capacity for additional development.
Praise and raze | Marysville Globe
Praise to the neighbor who helped his fellow man by calling 9-1-1 when he saw three burglars enter his house. Praise to Marysville police for their Coffee with a Cop program. Praise to the Marysville-Tulalip Chamber of Commerce for its free Business Summit. Raze to the Department of Corrections officer who exposed himself to a Marysville teen. Praise to local famers for all they do, including raising pigs and alpacas and growing hazelnuts.

We can’t be afraid to talk about race
By Jenny Smith We’ve been exploring what makes us better together in Marysville. We are a fast-growing community with lots to love but our research uncovered a fear that many of our neighbors hold. If we really are better together, what keeps us from each other? We’ve looked at gender and politics. Today, let’s look at the color of our skin. What does it mean for our life together if 77 percent of our community has white skin and 23 percent of our community are people of color?

Adults need community service, too
For a number of years, schools in Washington state have emphasized that students become involved in community service. That connection has been great not only for the kids, but for entire communities. It’s the kind of mindset we should all have. Students have helped in all types of endeavors – from working in food banks to tutoring younger kids in schools. It has helped these young people learn that giving back to a community can be rewarding.

Leaders work for students to learn trades
By David Beyer, Leonard Kelley, Jon Nehring, Nate Nehring and Barbara Tolbert For The Globe-Times As the construction industry in Snohomish County continues to boom, we are constantly hearing the same message from industry leaders: There is a workforce shortage in the skilled trades. Years of societal pressure and public policy have resulted in our youths not being encouraged to pursue the trades but rather to seek degrees in two- and four-year institutions.
No stamp of approval yet on balloting costs
OLYMPIA — Even with the postage paid, thousands of Washington voters didn’t get their ballots in on time for the August primary. Collectively, auditors rejected 17,167 ballots for the Aug. 7 election because they arrived with a postmark later than Election Day. King County led the way with 6,325 followed by Snohomish County with 2,155, based on data reported to the Secretary of State’s office. Ballots got rejected for this reason in every county.
