Sudsy welcome
Perhaps a prankster in Granite Falls wanted to give the town a cleaner image.
Soap suds on Tuesday morning spilled out of the waterfall that is part of a “Welcome to Granite Falls” sign greeting people to the city.
Public works crews shut off the pump to keep the foam off Highway 92.
City officials suspect it might have something to do with Granite Falls High School seniors graduating on Friday.
“It’s not the first time,” said Granite Falls School District spokeswoman Kathy Grant who passed the bubbly spectacle on her way to work.
Help out by dinning out: Parents of the fifth-grade class of Little Cedars Elementary School are organizing a series of fundraiser events to help Rayshawn Franklin, 11, who has been diagnosed with a rare kind of tumor that affects the abdomen of teenagers and young adults.
The first fundraiser is scheduled for today at Applebee’s, 134th Pl. SE in Everett.
The restaurant will donate 15 percent of the food bill to help pay for the family’s medical costs. A flyer for the fundraiser is required. Get a copy from the school, local churches, at the restaurant after 5 p.m. or by sending an email to srelings@hotmail.com.
You can donate to an account in Rayshawn’s name at any Chase Bank location.
