Front Porch: Valentine project for teens

Teens can create a special Valentine at the Mukilteo Library at 3:30 p.m. Thursday. Decorate a tiny matchbox and slide it open to reveal a picture of your Valentine. Bring a small picture — 1 inch by 2 inches — of your crush and the rest will be provided. No crush? No problem. Use the box for Valentine candy.

The Mukilteo Library is located at 4675 Harbour Pointe Blvd. For more information: 425-493-8202.
