Exchange your worn flag
McClain Insurance is hosting a flag exchange June 8 to 12. McClain Insurance is at 10410 19th Ave SE in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Everett, just south of Costco. Stop by and exchange worn American flags for new ones between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
“We’ve learned that one of the biggest concerns for our neighbors is not necessarily the acquisition of a new flag, but rather the knowledge that there will be a proper ceremony for the retired flag,” said Claudia McClain, owner of McClain Insurance Services.
Retired flags will be disposed of in a ceremony held by the Boy Scouts of America.
Meet local police: A Cops and Kids event is scheduled Saturday at the Alderwood mall. The Lynnwood Police Department will have police cars and motorcycles on display. There will be prizes. The event runs from 10 a.m. to noon in the Terraces part of the mall.
Picket set: Corrections officers plan to picket outside the prison in Monroe from 12 to 4 p.m. Thursday.
“Our main concern is the budget and getting our contract funded while preserving our collective bargaining rights,” according to a news release by the Teamsters Local 117.
