HEADS UP
Naval station drills
Naval Station Everett is running security exercises from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday.
The main gates will be closed for 10-minute intervals during the drill. Those nearby might notice a larger security presence than usual, and hear blank gunshots and emergency messages on loudspeakers.
This kind of practice helps improve coordination between the Navy and local agencies. It also keeps the base prepared in the case of an actual emergency.
Survey South County Fire website
South County Fire is seeking feedback about its website through Friday.
The regional fire authority is building a new website and wants to improve the user experience through content and navigation.
South County Fire serves more than 250,000 residents in unincorporated Snohomish County around Brier, Edmonds, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace.
The survey can be found at www.southsnofire.org.
