We want to share updates on some of the impactful local stories we've covered on The Newsfeed.
From a couple's efforts to build affordable housing in Beacon Hill, to the ingenuity of a high school robotics team.
Here's a look back at those stories with a peek at what's new since our last check in.
-I mean, it really is a homecoming.
-Last September, we introduce you to Doctor Estell Williams and her husband, Edwin Lindo, the founders of Estelita's Library, a social justice library and bookstore in Seattle.
They shared with us their plan to build a nearly $28 million affordable housing complex.
Last summer, they bought a former auto shop in Beacon Hill to fulfill that dream.
Since we last spoke with them, Lindo tells me they've closed on the property next door to their shop, expanding their lot to 12,000ft.
Lindo says they're close to finalizing an environmental cleanup plan for the property to then begin cleanup early next year.
In the fall, he says they plan to submit their funding applications to the city, county and state for the bulk of their capital campaign funding support.
It's their goal to finish the housing project by 2028.
Last March, we caught up with a high school robotics team called Chill Out 1778, in the Edmonds School District.
They were competing locally to fundraise for an international competition.
As of today, the team's mentor, Steve Winckler, says they recently competed at the PNW District Championship, narrowly missing a return trip to the international championship.
However, he tells me the team had an undeniably successful season by engineering one of the highest performing robots in the team's history.
Winckler says they need the community's help.
The school building where they trained in Lynnwood is being demolished, and students need a new practice field.
Reach out to them if you have ideas for a new location in Edmonds, Lynnwood or Mount Lake Terrace.
I'm Paris Jackson.
