Arlington: Find genealogical records
The Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society’s library is the newest Family Search affiliate library.
Patrons of the local genealogical library now have access to the resources available through Family Search, the world’s largest repository of genealogical records.
Family researchers can view birth, marriage, death, census, land and court records of genealogical significance from more than 130 countries. Family Search charges a nominal fee to send microfilm orders to the genealogical library in Arlington.
A fundraiser for the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society is set for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the library, 215 French St., next to the former Arlington High School.

Index: Road to forest land repaired
Snohomish County has finished repairs to a flood-damaged section of Index-Galena Road to restore access to U.S. Forest Service land.
The work allows recreation, camping and access to mineral claims along the North Fork Skykomish River, Salmon Creek and Silver Creek. The area is in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
Flooding on the Index-Galena Road in 2006 washed out parts of the road between mile posts 6.0 and 6.9. The flooding forced the closure of two campgrounds, one of which is now open and the other expected to open soon.
