Local Briefly: Marysville and county to lower flag for fallen reservist
MARYSVILLE -- Flags on Marysville city and Snohomish County buildings will fly at half-staff today in memory of Joseph Cerfus, an Army Reserve specialist who died May 5 during a military training exercise in Alberta, Canada.
Cerfus, 25, worked as a custody officer for the Snohomish County Department of Corrections. Special resolutions are expected to be passed in his memory by the Marysville City Council and the Snohomish County Council, officials said.
Gov. Chris Gregoire is expected to order flags statewide to be flown at half-staff Tuesday.
Cerfus grew up in the Phoenix area and moved to Marysville to live with his father, Michael Cerfus.
Everett: Shelter takes apartment fire victims
The Snohomish County Chapter of the American Red Cross has opened an emergency shelter for residents of the Copperstone Apartments in Everett who were displaced by a fire Friday afternoon. The shelter, which opened Sunday evening, is at the Word of Grace Four Square Church, 206 E. Casino Road.
It will remain open for as long as needed to assist with the emergency needs of those affected by the blaze, according to Kris Krischano, a spokesman for the local Red Cross chapter. Anyone who needs to use the shelter is encouraged to bring a blanket, a comforter and a pillow and, for those with children, a stuffed animal toy.
