Celebrate trains
There’s a free open house in Edmonds from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday to celebrate National Train Day. The public is invited to the event hosted by the Swamp Creek & Western Railroad Association, 210 Railroad St., alongside the rails in Edmonds.
The railroad association will be operating its model trains across an expansive layout, which has been in the Edmonds Amtrak Depot since the mid 1970s. It features 400 feet of tracks that pass through miniature towns and detailed scenery. Parents and guardians must watch their children while there. Visitors are encouraged to ask questions but are reminded not to touch the model trains or the layout.

HEADS UP
Marysville Fourth of July fireworks
The City of Marysville reminds residents that they don’t have to leave town to see fireworks this Fourth of July — a show is planned for 7 p.m. July 4 at Marysville Pilchuck High School, 5611 108th St. NE.
Voters banned the explosives a few years ago. Since then, there has been nowhere in the city to watch fireworks. The City Council has only approved this year’s event so far.
The night is set to start with games and music, until the fireworks begin around 9:45 p.m. Admission is free. Bring lawn chairs and blankets, and cash for snacks.
