Japanese Gulch ribbon-cutting
A ribbon-cutting, work party and tours of Mukilteo’s Japanese Gulch are planned for Saturday. The ribbon-cutting is scheduled at 9 a.m. and the work party will be held from 10 a.m. to noon. Volunteers will lead tours of the park at 4405 76th St. SW. The ribbon-cutting marks the effort to preserve the 140-acre area, which has historic ties to where 150 Japanese immigrants lived in the early 20th century.

There will be a flying demonstration. The event is free, and dads who attend can enter a raffle to win a free private flight.
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Flying Heritage Collection at Paine Field, 3407 109th St. SW, Everett.
