EVENTS
Arlington High School play
Tickets are now available for the Arlington High School play, “Once Upon a Mattress,” a fun take on the “Princess and the Pea” fairytale.
The story revolves around a protective mother named Queen Aggravain, who tests princesses who want to marry her son, Prince Dauntless. The queen doesn’t think anyone is good enough, but no one else in the kingdom is allowed to get married until he does, making matters interesting for some couples.
Performances are 7 p.m. March 6 and 7, and 13 and 14. A matinee show is at 1 p.m. March 14. Tickets are $8 for senior citizens and students, and $10 for adults, and are available online at byrnesperformingarts.org.

HEADS UP
I-5 lane closure in Marysville
Weather postponed a previously scheduled lane closure of northbound I-5 in Marysville, that will now happen from 3 to 10 a.m. Monday. One lane will be closed from the northbound off-ramp to 116th Street NE and the overpass, so crews can work on the I-5/116th Street interchange. The closure provides safe space for contractors to do drainage work under the 116th overpass.
