Spray parks still open
Children and parents can continue to enjoy local spray parks during the extended stretch of warm temperatures, which were expected to reach well into the 80s today.
Snohomish County plans to open the Willis Tucker spray park through the coming weekend, and possibly longer. The address is 6705 Puget Park Drive, Snohomish.
Lynnwood is keeping its two spray parks open on a day-to-day basis. They’re at North Lynnwood Park, 18510 44th Ave W, and at Daleway Park, 19015 64th Avenue W.
The county and Lynnwood typically close their spray parks after Labor Day.
Everett’s Forest Park water playground at 802 E. Mukilteo Blvd. typically stays open through the end of summer. It’s scheduled to be open through Sept. 22.
Blood drive today in Monroe: A blood drive is planned from noon to 6 p.m. today at Cascade Community Church in Monroe in honor of 4-year-old Gavin Mayes, who suffers from leukemia.
Gavin, who was diagnosed about six months ago, has received several blood transfusions. His family wanted to hold the blood drive to help with the low supply of blood at the Puget Sound Blood Center.
About 50 people have signed up to donate blood, said his mother Charlene Mayes. People are free to drop in at the drive that will be held at the church at 14377 167th Ave SE, Monroe.
