Send your best shot

We want to see your photos of outdoor adventures in the Northwest.

Selected photos will be published in The Herald’s upcoming outdoor sports page.

Send high-resolution photos to jbuchanan@heraldnet.com. Include your name, the name of those in the photo, when and where it was shot and why you took the photo the way you did.

Safe driving program: “Driving It Home,” a traffic safety education program for teens and their parents, offered by the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, begins at 9 a.m. April 16 at Sultan High School, 13725 310th Ave. SE in Sultan.

It’s free, but not suitable for young children.

Monroe offers passports: The city wants people to know it can help them get passports. That is why it’s hosting “Passport Day in the USA 2011” on Saturday at City Hall.

The city will provide information and accept passport applications from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at City Hall at 806 W. Main St.

The only requirement is a copy of a birth certificate or old passport, checkbook or money order, and parents must be present for applicants 16 years old and younger. The city can take photos on site.

It takes from four to six weeks to receive a passport after application.

For more information, call the National Passport Information Center toll-free at 877-487-2778 or go to www.travel.state.gov.
