HEADS UP
Don’t fall for scam
Police have received multiple reports that scammer calls are occurring again, according to the Arlington city newsletter.
A scammer claiming to be associated with the Arlington Police Department is calling people and demanding money because someone “failed to show for jury duty” or has “active warrants.”
The victims are instructed to purchase gift cards for Google Play, Visa or other merchants and call the suspect back to pay the “money owed.”
No law enforcement or court personnel will demand money over the phone.

Capture the king tide
Snohomish County Surface Water Management wants you to use the MyCoast app to capture images of the high tides predicted Jan. 20-22 on shorelines around Puget Sound. Photos will be shared with scientists around the region to create a baseline of information about king tides.
The MyCoast app can also be used to report and share photos of derelict boats, creosote pilings, large marine debris, storm surges and coastline changes.
