KSER Vision Quest
KSER is on a vision quest – to set goals for service in our next decade -- and we want our members, listeners, friends and supporters to help us.
Imagine a radio station serving yourself and your community. What would it be like? How could it serve you best? How do we get KSER to where it needs to be? What threats and obstacles need to be overcome?
We need your ideas and input on creating the future of KSER! Spread the word – we welcome and encourage perspectives and opinions from all sectors of our community.
You can make your voice heard by participating in a final public meeting, Saturday, March 7th from 9AM-Noon at Public Meeting Room #1 in the Robert Drewel building on the Snohomish County campus.
This meeting concludes a series of 3 public meetings simulcast on KSER over the past week, and will include a recap of public comment submitted online, via email, and in-person during these meetings. You can download background material and notes from previous meetings, or you can listen to archived audio of the broadcasts via links in the comment sections below.
We at KSER are committed to advance the common good in our community through public radio and other services dedicated to arts, ideas and civic engagement.
We are a local media resource that is in a unique position to become a focal point of community life and connect people of the entire region.
We see a historic opening, and we want to take it.
How can we grow to better serve our community?
We can’t answer that question without your help!

Vision Quest Ideas
Hey KSER..
I just read the post from Van Man with a call out for idea for the
vision quest of KSER..
Not sure if this is a new idea.but please keep supporting and
playing local music.play more if you can!
The other thing Everett..needs is a festival to give the city its
identity back..KSER could lead the way one this!!!!!
Ever since the demise of Salty Sea Days..the city has no public
event that gives it a sense of place and culture, a KSER festival
could do that!
The waterfront concerts and parks events are nice but too short and
too "exclusive" ..and the Sausage festival has nothing to do with
the whole city it's just an excuse to pander to a desire for a real
event and showcase pacific rim talent's roster, there's no real
support there for NW artists ..
Take a look at how successful the events are in the surrounding
cities. I have performed at almost all of them, such as Taste of
Tacoma, Bite of Seattle, Edmonds arts fest, Renton River days (who
knew they had a river?) Snoqualmie days, Vashon Island days,
Marysville Strawberry fest (what will they do when the field get
flooded over?)..and on and on..almost every city and town in the
state and the whole region has a local pride festival that gives
them a sense of community and celebrates heritage and culture of the
area. How many of these small towns have a local radio station?
Not many..In the tiny town of Blue Hill Maine with a population of
under 5,000 each summer the local station WERU hosts a very
successful festival that draws attendance from the whole of New
England. The WERU fest features national headliners and local acts
with arts and crafts booths and food vendors for a 3 day event. John
Hightower was a featured speaker when I attended and Richie Havens
and Don McClain where the headliners..now maybe not big time, but
the event was well attended even with a gate fee.
I feel a strong push from your board to the city create such and
event could fill the empty space this is the soul of this city. I am
proud to be raising my kids here as I see promise and future for
them in Everett and the NW as it continues to grow. I just want them
to have some sense of heritage for their hometown. Be it a mill town
or harbor town or simply E town .KSER can lead the way and be a
lightning rod of culture in OUR TOWN.
Rick
