HEADS UP
More scam calls
The Island County Sheriff’s Office is seeing an influx of reports of spam calls, with the scammers pretending to be police. Legitimate law enforcement groups will not solicit money or threaten arrests over fines or warrants over the phone. Another red flag is if the caller asks for payment in gift cards or prepaid debit cards. The scammers can make it look as if they have local numbers.
Do not provide personal information over the phone.

Lynnwood intersection to open early
Construction near the Alderwood mall has finished early and under budget. The intersection at Maple Road and Ash Way is scheduled to open Wednesday night, two weeks sooner than expected.
Initially the project’s estimated cost was $7 million. The final price was not clear Monday, said Matt Phelps, a spokesman for Snohomish County public works. “It’s kind of complicated because it was done in partnership with Lynnwood and the contract hasn’t closed,” he said. “We’re still trying to figure out the details.”
The road often flooded before construction began in April. It had been sinking nearly an inch each year. Crews raised the intersection by about five feet after installing 772 steel rods into the ground.
Additional work scheduled for spring was also taken care of. No other road closures are expected during that time.
