![]() ![]() “Jeopardy!”and Everett have crossed paths before.įormer Everett library youth services librarian Sarah Walsh was on the show in 2017 shortly after she moved away.Įverett resident Nick Spicher, an educator at Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett, was on “Jeopardy!” in 2018 when Alex Trebek was host. “Library staff, like Julie, tend to have a wealth of knowledge and a knack for trivia as most of us love information and learning and are surrounded by it at work,” library director Abigail Cooley said. They’ve hit about 15, and crossed one off their list on the “Jeopardy!” trip. She and her wife, Debbie Barbay, have a goal of visiting 30 Major League Baseball stadiums. She prefers doing crafts at home and going to baseball games. She doesn’t compete in pub trivia contests. “It’s sort of like people who do online shopping in the middle of the night, only free.”īefore shelving books at the library, Sisson shelved merchandise in various departments at Walmart. “I go through the on-order list of the library catalog and put things that are on-order on hold,” she said. Sisson now has resumed her usual insomnia games. “They don’t go into minute details, and ‘Jeopardy!’ usually doesn’t get too specific,” she said. She studied for “Jeopardy!” by reading kids’ reference books. “I just remember things, weird stuff,” Sisson said. “I feel smarter now that I’ve been on ‘Jeopardy!’” Smart people get on ‘Jeopardy!’” she said. “I don’t feel like it’s a regular game show. Sisson started watching “Jeopardy!” as a kid. He understands what it’s like to be on the show.”īefore the show, contestants waited in the “Wheel of Fortune” studio set. “Plus, the studio audience is very small. I felt like I’d read every library book that I could and I either knew it or I didn’t,” she said. Sisson can’t reveal how she did compared to the other Washingtonian who did good: Edmonds-born Ken Jennings, a 74-time “Jeopardy!” champion who won $4.5 million and is now the show’s host. Once I put it on Facebook she was like, ‘Now I can tell all the other ladies at church!’” Sisson said. “I had to keep everything a secret until I was officially allowed,” Sisson said. ![]()
