A fire seriously damaged the offices of the Kegel & Associates engineering and surveying firm at 9800 Evergreen Way. Damage was estimated at $150,000, according to fire department Battalion Chief Larry Dressel. Fortunately a cache of surveying records from Everett’s earliest day were stored in a concrete vault, and not lost.
Lynn-O-Rama was into full gear. Events included a cowboy breakfast, a chili cook-off, rodeo, music and dance.
