Navy drills
Naval Station Everett is running security exercises from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Those nearby may notice a larger security presence than usual, and hear blank gunshots and emergency messages on loudspeakers.
These kinds of drills help improve coordination between the Navy and local agencies. They also keep the base prepared in the case of an actual emergency.
