Volunteers needed to plant local trees
People for Puget Sound and the Port of Everett host a native planting work party Saturday at the Union Slough wetlands restoration site in Everett.
The area needs more than 1,000 native trees and shrubs to provide habitat and food for birds and salmon.
Volunteers will be planting a variety of native plants around the site. Meet at 10 a.m. at 37th Street NE (Biringer Farms), east of Highway 529 and just north of Everett.
Dinner, auction benefit family
A spaghetti dinner and an auction is planned to benefit an Arlington family devastated by a fire.
The fundraiser is at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Presidents Elementary School, 505 E. Third St., Arlington.
Mark and Susan Lee lost two foster children and all their belongings in the Nov. 21 fire at the family home in the 22800 block of 19th Drive NE in Arlington. Friends and others in the community organized the fundraiser to help.
Tickets are $7 for dinner and $10 for access to a kids’ bouncy house.
Tickets can be purchased at Cascade Valley Hospital’s community relations office, 330 S. Stillaguamish Ave.; the Bryant Fire Station, 3002 252nd St. NE.; and Flowers by George, 335 N. Olympic Ave.
The organizers also welcome donations from businesses for the silent auction. Donations will be accepted until 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Arlington School District office or Presidents Elementary School.
