June Riggs of Mountlake Terrace reminds readers of the importance of Dec. 7.
Remember Pearl Harbor Sunday, the day in 1941 when the Japanese executed a surprise attack on Hawaii.
"The sneak attack on Pearl Harbor not only included all military installations on Oahu, but ushered in 1942, the year of intense fear in America," Riggs said. "’Nary a family escaped knowing a war casualty of a kin, school buddy or neighbor."
She should know. Riggs was a file clerk at Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack.
The final event of Granite Falls’ centennial celebration will be a 100th birthday party at 7 tonight at Granite Falls High School, 405 N. Alder Ave.
The Everett Windjammers will perform; Bob Miller, a longtime Granite Falls resident, will deliver a lighthearted look at life in the young city; and the combined high school and junior high bands will accompany a fireworks display.
Tulalip artists will display their works 9 a.m.-5 p.m. today at the Rainier Valley Cultural Center, 3515 S. Alaska St. in Seattle. The theme is "buy native."
A group of tribal members including the Tulalips planned the holiday bazaar to allow shoppers to buy directly from tribal artists. Additionally, there will be native films, and Indian youths will make presentations.
