Strong communities start by supporting the next generation. 🌟

For nearly six decades, Youth Eastside Services has been a trusted resource for young people and families across Kirkland and the Eastside. 💞

Their work goes beyond providing services. YES creates meaningful connections through counseling, school-based support, youth leadership programs, and welcoming spaces like KTUB where teens can access help, creativity, and community. 💚

As the organization continues to expand its partnerships with local schools, its mission remains the same: making sure young people know they are not alone. 🤝

Read more about how YES is meeting teens where they are and making a lasting impact in Kirkland. 📖

Some pets leave paw prints that stay with us forever. 🐾

High Pockets Rainbow Sunshine wasn't just a family dog. She was a loyal companion for nearly 17 years, hiking mountain trails, paddleboarding, chasing squirrels, watching over her family, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. ❤️

Thank you to Adam, Blaire, Havana, and Vienna for sharing the beautiful story of a beloved rescue who taught unconditional love every single day. 🐶

We know so many pet lovers will relate to this touching tribute. 🫶

Leadership begins with listening. 👏

Lake Washington High School junior Matthew Choy is proving that great leaders don't need to be the loudest voice in the room. 🎓

Whether serving as ASB Co-President, class treasurer, swim captain, or mentoring others through Karate, Matthew believes leadership is about lifting up those around you. ✨

His goal for the coming school year is simple: "Focus on giving more and asking less." 💪

Some spaces are more than just yards. They are places to pause, relax, and enjoy the beauty right outside your door. ✨

This month’s Yard of the Month, “Beauty Worth Slowing Down For,” showcases how thoughtful details can transform an outdoor space into a peaceful retreat. 🌿

From carefully chosen plants to thoughtful updates that enhance the landscape, this Kirkland home proves that even a smaller yard can create a big impact. 🌸

Congratulations to this homeowner for creating a welcoming space that brings beauty to the neighborhood and inspires us all to enjoy the little moments. 👏
