Corrections

* The Monroe Arts Council has canceled its 10K/5K Salmon Run and kids’ Smolt Bolt for financial reasons. An Our Town item on Page B3 Monday incorrectly said the events would take place Aug. 7.

* A $37 million park-and-ride lot planned for the I-5 median just north of 112th Street SE in Everett due to open in 2006 will have 400 parking stalls. A graphic on Page A12 Sunday had an incorrect number of parking spaces. The information in the story was correct.
