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.
