Accused serial rapist had notebook listing more than 30 women, WA officials say
A man accused in one of Everett's 'most complex and disturbing cases' is heading to prison for decades, officials in the Washington city said. Christian Sayre, 39, received a 109-year sentence in connection with multiple rape and indecent liberties convictions spread out over four trials, the Everett Police Department said in a July 21 news release. Sayre's attorney, David Roberson, declined to comment in a July 23 email to McClatchy News. Police in Everett started looking into Sayre about four years ago, 'after DNA evidence linked him to a 2020 sexual assault case,' officials said. Investigators 'uncovered dozens of potential victims and a disturbing pattern of predatory behavior stretching back over two decades,' according to officials. As they investigated, they found 'a notebook listing over 30 women, along with hard drives containing child pornography,' officials said, adding that 'several of the women named in Sayre's notes came forward and reported assaults, some dating as far back as 2001.' In all, Sayre was found guilty of 16 felony charges, among them 'multiple counts of rape and indecent liberties involving both adult and minor victims,' officials said. He's also facing sexual assault charges in Oregon, according to officials. Sayre was the owner of a bar in Everett called Anchor Pub, KCPQ reported. In the news release, Everett officials praised the investigators, prosecutors and survivors. 'The bravery of the survivors who came forward to share their trauma and experiences, brought justice for the egregious sexual assaults committed by Christian Sayre,' Everett police Det. Susan Logothetti said in the release. 'There is no doubt that their courage put an end to Sayre continuing his predatory behavior in this community.' Everett is about a 30-mile drive north from Seattle.

Ellen DeGeneres ‘would love' to host another talk show years after toxic workplace allegations
Ellen DeGeneres is not ruling out the possibility of another talk show in her future. During a live conversation with broadcaster Richard Bacon on Sunday, the 67-year-old former talk show host shared that she misses so many things about hosting her own show, but doesn't think that format would work in today's world. Advertisement 'I mean, I wish it did, because I would do the same thing here,' she told Bacon, per the BBC. 'I would love to do that again, but I just feel like people are watching on their phones, or people aren't really paying attention as much to televisions, because we're so inundated with information and entertainment.' Since moving to England in November 2024, DeGeneres has taken her time in deciding on her next career move, admitting she is making that move 'very carefully.' While she doesn't know what is next for her, she says, 'I want to have fun, I want to do something. I do like my chickens, but I'm a little bit bored.' The comedian hosted 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' for 19 seasons from 2003 to 2022. The show came to an end two years after allegations of a toxic work environment came to light in July 2020. 4 Ellen DeGeneres shared that she misses so many things about hosting her own show, but doesn't think that format would work in today's world. Advertisement DeGeneres addressed the allegations during the opening monologue on the first episode of her 18th season. In the monologue, the comedian issued an on-air apology, in which she called herself 'a work in progress' before adding she is 'especially working on the impatience thing.' 'No matter what, any article that came up, it was like, 'She's mean,' and it's like, how do I deal with this without sounding like a victim or 'poor me' or complaining? But I wanted to address it,' she said in her conversation with Bacon. 'It's as simple as, I'm a direct person, and I'm very blunt, and I guess sometimes that means that… I'm mean?' She went on to say that she finds it 'hurtful' that she probably can't 'say anything that's ever going to get rid of…or dispel' the rumors that she is mean, and that she 'hate[s] that people think that.' 4 'I mean, I wish it did, because I would do the same thing here,' DeGeneres said.

BACKGRID Looking back, she added that it was 'certainly an unpleasant way to end' her talk show. When asked about her recent move to the English countryside, she confirmed it was influenced by President Donald Trump winning the election. She told Bacon she and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, originally planned to split their time between England and the United States, but changed their minds following the election. Advertisement 4 The comedian hosted 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' for 19 seasons from 2003 to 2022. 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in,'' she said. 'And we're like, 'We're staying here.'' Since moving to England, the comedian and de Rossi have noticed 'everything here is just better,' highlighting the beauty of the city, 'the way animals are treated,' and the overall 'simpler way of life.' 'We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life,' she explained. 'We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks.'

Expect delays: Everett traffic will be jammed by 14-week paving project
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) just announced a prodigious paving project on I-5, starting Saturday, July 19. Work is scheduled mostly evenings and overnight hours, but commuters may see occasional daytime work. No matter how you slice it, commuting through Everett is going to get rough at times during this 14-week project. 'Saturday evening in Everett, the contractors are going to start shutting down up to four left lanes to begin the grinding part of this repavement project,' WSDOT spokesperson Della Kostelnik Juarez said. 'The lanes are going to start shutting down at 7 p.m. (and) reopen at 9 a.m. on Sunday, close again at 7 p.m. Sunday and reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, there will be no work on Monday (evening).' The work starts on southbound I-5 between 41st Street and 100th Street Southeast, near the Everett Mall. Once contractors complete work in the southbound lanes, they will repave the same section in the northbound lanes of I-5. The schedule throughout the 14-week project includes closures: From 7 p.m. Saturday, July 19 to 9 a.m. Sunday, July 20. From 7 p.m. Sunday, July 20 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 21. From 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly Tuesday, July 22 to Friday morning, July 25. WSDOT will inform us if there are any changes. The Broadway HOV on-ramp to southbound I-5 will also close during the roadwork, but the general purpose on-ramp from Broadway will remain open. Some of this work needs dry weather and may need to be rescheduled. The Everett pavement project will repave 4 miles on I-5 This pavement repair project will repave approximately 4 miles of southbound I-5 in Everett and is expected to finish later this fall. Motorcyclists should watch for grooved, uneven pavement and use extreme caution. 'We really encourage people to look at our travel page and look at our travel map to see what is going to be open and closed,' Juarez added. Solve the daily Crossword

FEMA Is Holding Up $2.4 Billion in Grants to Fight Terrorism, States Say
Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has disbursed billions of dollars in grants to state and local governments to help with security and prevent terrorism. This funding has helped Everett, Wash., bolster its water and wastewater plants' cybersecurity infrastructure. It paid for automated license plate readers in New Jersey and the salaries of state employees who, according to court documents, 'provide cybersecurity training, plan risk mitigation efforts and combat domestic violent extremism.' And in New York, the grants have paid for National Guard members to patrol the subway, an increased law enforcement presence at the northern border, and 12 F.B.I.-certified bomb squads across the state. But the flow of funds is now being imperiled by FEMA officials, who are nearly two months behind in posting the latest application guidelines for the grants. The new application is expected to reflect additional requirements for cities and states to demonstrate compliance with President Trump's priorities on immigration enforcement and dismantling diversity programs. But no one has seen the application, leaving longtime funding recipients in limbo and feeling increasingly anxious. In a letter last month to Kristi Noem, President Trump's homeland security secretary, a coalition of associations that represent local and state officials wrote that the delay hurts 'response and recovery capabilities across the country, and puts critical infrastructure at risk.'
