Watch construction of City Hall
A live video feed of the construction of Mukilteo’s new City Hall is viewable online at www.sierraconst.com/webcams.shtml.
The feed is posted on the Web site of Sierra Construction Company, which is building the new City Hall.
For years, the city has rented space in an industrial warehouse for its headquarters. When finished, the new City Hall will feature a spacious council chamber, two floors of offices and environmentally friendly features such as a green roof with soil and plants.
Event canceled because of weather
Weather has halted the city of Lake Stevens and Snohomish Health District Health and Safety Fair to celebrate the city’s new tobacco-free rule for its parks.
The event has not been rescheduled.
Last month, Lake Stevens became the second city in Snohomish County, along with Mill Creek, to ban tobacco use in a park or parks. Twelve other cities have voluntary “tobacco free zones.”
Service Day tree-planting
Several Marysville-area churches will join together Saturday for Service Day, to plant decorative trees along Highway 528 near Jennings Nature Park.
More than 220 volunteers, Marysville Parks and Recreation and Allen Creek Elementary School staff will help.
Parks and Recreation will place safety signs and traffic cones along the work corridor and parking strips from 53rd to 67th Avenue NE.
