FYI

Property taxes due Wednesday

It’s almost Halloween, which means that scary second half of property taxes is due.

Payments must be postmarked by Oct. 31 to avoid penalties and interest. Payments made by mail are processed in Seattle.

You can also pay at Frontier Bank branches if you bring your property tax stub, which was mailed in the spring.

Payments can be made in person at the county administration building, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett. Call 425-388-3366 for more information.

Let’s skip right past Halloween to Thanksgiving. Mary Clingman, director of the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line, will lead classes Saturday in Snohomish and Lake Stevens, her only appearances in our state before Thanksgiving.

She will lead 45-minute classes then answer questions at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at TOP Food &Drug, 1301 Ave. D, Snohomish, and at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Haggen Food &Pharmacy, 8915 Market Place NE, Lake Stevens.

Classes are limited to the first 50 people to register at the guest services counter of each store, or call the store and ask for guest services.
