*Dia de los Muertos Community Celebration November 2*
On November 2, Kenmore's DEIA Advisory Committee is hosting a Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Community Celebration [ https://www.kenmorewa.gov/government/departments/human-resources/diversity-equity-and-inclusion ] at the Hangar from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Not to be confused with Halloween, Día de los Muertos is a traditional Mexican holiday in which people connect with their deceased loved ones by setting up an altar, or "ofrenda", with the food, drinks, toys, and other items their loved ones enjoyed. The event will feature mariachi music, a Mexican food truck, arts and crafts for families including sugar skulls, papel picado, traditional skull face painting, and a community "ofrenda" that guests can decorate with memories of the loved ones they have lost. The event will end with a screening of the delightful Academy Award-winning Pixar film Coco, beginning at 1 p.m. This event is free to attend and open to all!

*Future of Paratransit Survey for Access Riders and Caregivers
*King County Metro is launching the Future of Paratransit project to review the Access Transportation program — how it operates and helps riders get to their destinations — with the goal of shaping the service for 2027 and beyond. For those with a disability that prevents them from riding traditional, fixed-route buses and trains, Metro’s Access Paratransit Transportation Program (Access) operates a similar and accessible network of vehicles with drivers specifically trained to provide more rider assistance. Riders and caregivers are invited to share their feedback by filling out this community survey [ https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FoPRidersCaregivers ]. Learn more about the Future of Paratransit project [ https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metro/programs-and-projects/future-of-paratransit?utm_source=alias&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=future_of_paratransit ].
