Hurry today to tour Everett cemetery
If you have an eagle eye, you can find the graves of 13 Everett mayors at the sixth annual cemetery tour in Everett.
Historic Everett offers the tour at 10 a.m. today at Evergreen Cemetery, 4504 Broadway. Meet at the entrance, just south of the 41st Street exit off I-5 in Everett.
Historian David Dilgard leads the tour and is expected to point out graves for four governors, two U.S. senators, nine victims of the Wellington avalanche and more than 150 Civil War veterans.
Tickets are $10, or $6 for members of Historic Everett.
There are some hills, so wear sturdy shoes.

Corrections
n A map on Providence Everett Medical Center’s expansion that ran on Page A1 Friday contained several errors. The map omitted a portion of Oakes Avenue and instead erroneously showed a new medical tower and garage being built where the road should be. In addition, 12th and 13th streets were misidentified. A correct version can be seen on Page B6.
n A second graphic on Page A12 on Friday showed a neighborhood home and a landscaping berm next to a proposed $40 million utility plant. The graphic was intended to compare the size of the house and the plant. The graphic was not intended to show the proximity of the two buildings.
