FYI

Through February, KCTS-TV and Northwest Harvest honor the memory of children’s TV host Fred Rogers by collecting new and clean used sweaters for people who need them.

Fred Rogers, who died in February 2003 at age 74, began the campaign seven years ago to help neighbors in need.

Drop off sweaters:

  • 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m. at The Herald lobby, 1213 California St. in Everett

  • 8 a.m.-5 p.m. at The Enterprise newspaper, 4303 198th St. SW in Lynnwood.

    Due to construction, there are some detours around the construction site at the Snohomish County Courthouse. Those who need to visit the campus for the next several months will find a new pathway to the County Administration Building. Construction of the Pacific Avenue and Rockefeller Avenue parking ramps to the county’s underground parking garage has closed the main east and west sidewalks that lead to the administration building.

    The courthouse entrance is not affected.

    A new entryway to the administration building has been constructed just north of the courthouse entrance. The pathway is marked.

    From Pacific Avenue, use the newly constructed sidewalk on the Mission building’s east side.

    Retired Rear Adm. Bill Center, president of the Washington Council on International Trade, will be at Edmonds Community College’s Creative Retirement Institute at 2 p.m. Thursday as part of the series "Exploring America’s Role in Today’s World." For more information, call 425-640-1243.

    It would cost nearly as much to renovate the 61-year-old Baker Heights housing project in north Everett as it would to tear it down and erect new buildings, an architectural firm reports. A headline on Page A1 Tuesday misstated the relationship between the two options facing the Everett Housing Authority.
