The Snohomish County Economic Development Council just published its 1979 updated version of the Snohomish County Manufacturers List. Staffer Judy Starr said the list had been expanded and published in a new, easier-to-use format. Copies were available at the EDC office in the Medical-Dental Building.
Preservation of the rural nature and clean waters of the Stillaguamish Valley were among goals of an organization formed by a group of north Snohomish County residents. Dennis Ingram of Arlington was president of the group named “Friends for a Rural Stillaguamish.” The 20 to 25 members planned to meet monthly at the Ingram home on Huckleberry Lane.
