USS Lincoln to sail today at 10 a.m.
There’s been a change in plans for some of Naval Station Everett ships leaving this week for a lengthy deployment.
The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is still scheduled to cast off lines at 10 a.m. today for the seven-month voyage.
However, stormy weather off the Washington coast has caused two smaller ships to delay departure until Friday, naval station spokesman Rick Huling said.
The destroyer USS Shoup now is scheduled to leave at 8:15 a.m. Friday and destroyer USS Momsen is scheduled to leave at 10 a.m. Friday.
Bookmobile is on the move
The Sno-Isle Libraries Mobile Services Bookmobile stop in the Mariner High School area of south Everett on Saturdays has moved to a new time and location. Every Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., you can visit the Bookmobile at Albertson’s, 520 128th St. SW.
The weekly Tuesday afternoon Bookmobile stop remains at the Voyager Middle School parking lot from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at 11711 Fourth Ave. W., Everett.
