Around Snohomish County

Arlington: City receives award

The Snohomish Health District recognized the city earlier this month for adopting programs and policies that promote public health. The Healthy Communities Award was presented to the Arlington City Council. Specifically, the award recognizes the council’s adoption of a tobacco-free parks ordinance that bans the use of not only cigarettes but also vapor devices in public parks or on trails. Lake Stevens, Sultan, Lynnwood and Marysville have similar regulations in terms of tobacco-free parks, but few cities have addressed vapor devices in their policies.

It will take place at a new location, the Sultan High School commons Nov. 27 from noon to 4 p.m. People interested in volunteering can call Sky Valley Volunteers of America at 360-793-2400.
