Nearly a year ago, I presented Beach Street Safety Petition on behalf of 51 residents from Beach Avenue and Grove Street. On April 2, 2006, a moving car hit a young boy in the 1200 block of Beach Avenue. A helicopter airlifted him to Harborview Trauma Center. The petition requested several safety enhancements to Beach Avenue, such as signs, caution lights and possibly speed bumps.
What does it take for all of you to drive a little safer and be more careful on the roadways? Ive been training entry-level truck drivers for almost 21 years and am concerned about how you, the motoring public, operate your vehicles. You see the large yellow Caution: Student Driver signs on the back of the trailers announcing to the motoring public that a rookie or novice driver is at the controls of the vehicle directly in front of them. We have taken the precautions to warn the public of the dangers, but the sad part of the overall story is that no one seems to care about safety anymore.
The volunteers at the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum in Arlington received a grant from the Stillaguamish Tribe to help purchase a carved cedar map of the watershed through the Stillaguamish Valley. We want to thank the Tribe for its generosity in contributing dollars for a 7-foot by 12-foot carving.
Heartfelt thanks from the members of the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Association to everyone who participated and attended the 10-year Anniversary of the Pioneer Museum, Saturday, March 10. We could not have accomplished what we did without the help from the community as a whole (private citizens and organizations alike).
Smokey Point equals the new destination for the Husky Challenge.
As we face the 2008 legislative session here in Washington state, Im worried.
In an emergency, every second counts. The Marysville Fire District needs additional resources to build and staff an additional fire station and transition from a part-paid department to a fully staffed department with fulltime firefighters.
Last year my husband passed away after a long battle with congestive heart failure and kidney disease. In the last two years of his life he was on dialysis due to his declining health.
I think it is admirable that WSDOT is concerned that someone might fall while painting graffiti on the old railroad bridge crossing I-5, south of 116th, but these people chose to put their lives in jeopardy. The residents and workers of Lakewood Commons at Smokey Point havent been afforded the luxury of choice. We are still at the mercy of sometimes blocking traffic when an aid car, fire truck or police are needed. As the holidays approach it will get worse.
For 17 years Rob Beidler has stood up to protect and defend the people of Snohomish County. Now its time for us to stand with Rob Beidler during his candidacy for Snohomish County Sheriff.
Two and a half years ago, Teresa Bates, owner of Marysville Performing Arts Centre, took a chance mid-season and asked me to join her teaching staff. I have a 45-year career as a teacher, choreographer and director. When I moved to the area five years ago, an initial unprofessional experience almost caused me to retire. Thanks to the guidance and encouragement from Mrs. Bates, along with supportive parents, I am teaching again and loving my work.
