EVENTS
Car toys
The Hot Wheels Legends Tour will be rolling into Everett from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Walmart Supercenter, 11400 Highway 99.
The traveling show will have cars big and small, plus games for kids and prizes. Get up close and personal with the fleet of Hot Wheels life-size vehicles from the Hot Wheels garage.
The free event is one of 18 stops across the country, as Mattel searches for the next great custom hot rod to turn into next year’s featured Hot Wheels die-cast toy car of the year. The winner of the event Saturday will advance to the SEMA Auto Show in Las Vegas later this year, where their life-size custom car will compete against all 18 tour winners.

Census employees descend
Address canvassing in Washington state is now underway in preparation for the 2020 Census.
As part of the canvassing process, Census Bureau employees known as listers are now walking Washington neighborhoods to verify select residential addresses. Address canvassing is a separate operation from the actual count, which is set for March.
Listers are identifiable by official Census Bureau badges. Anybody contacted as part of address canvassing may request a second form of government-issued photo ID from listers. Residents also may call 800-923-8282 to confirm the identity of a Census Bureau employee.
