Sultan testing alarms: The city will be testing its four emergency alarms at 10 a.m. June 25.

The test is to make sure the sirens are functioning properly. More information or concerns about the testing: 360-793-2231.

Short films capture natural reserve. Friends of Ebey’s will be screening six film shorts made during “Ebey’s Reserves’ FilmSlam” in May.

The screening will be at 5:30 p.m. June 11 at Coupeville High School, 501 S. Main St. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and include lemonade and popcorn. VIP tickets are $100 and include a pre-screening party with hors d’oeuvres, special seating and an after-screening event across the street at Compass Rose. Proceeds will benefit Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. Tickets are available online at www.friendsofebeys.org. or at the Chamber of Commerce in Coupeville and Blooms Tasting Room in Langley. More information: info@friendsofebey.org or 360-678-6633.
