Build a playground
About 800 people have signed up to volunteer to help build a new playground for Stanwood and Camano Island children, said Theresa Metzger of the Stanwod-Camano Area Foundation.
Donations of survey skills, cement and electrical work have come in recently, and $188,000 of the $200,000 project budget has been raised, Metzger said.
Construction of the 10,000-square-foot Stanwood-Camano Rotary Adventure Playground is set for Wednesday through Sunday at Freedom Park at Terry’s Corner, Camano Island.
Forest Park entrance changed: Traffic flow to and from the Forest Park west entrance is now one way in and one way out.
Traffic entering the park will gradually be directed up the hill on the left side, which is now one way. The right curb side is now for pedestrians and bicycles only. It is not designated for parking.
All traffic exiting the park will go past Spruce Hall and down the hill past the Animal Farm pasture on the left. There is no longer an exit down the hill by the Swim Center.
Free vacation house check: People who are going on vacation this summer can sign up at the Lynnwood Police Department for free vacation house checks.
Those who request the service will be asked to fill out a sheet of information at the police station, 19321 44th Ave. W, Lynnwood.
The volunteers in public safety are trained on the police radio to call an officer if they hear or see anything suspicious.
For more information, call the Lynnwood Police Crime Prevention Section at 425-670-5635.
