Memorial set for J.J. Harvey

A memorial service for J.J. Harvey, a former Snohomish County sheriff, state trooper and U.S. marshal, is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at Trinity Episcopal Church, 2301 Hoyt Ave., Everett.

Harvey, a longtime Arlington resident, died Wednesday after undergoing surgery. He was 84.

As a U.S. marshal, Harvey was credited with leading the investigation that captured escaped spy Christopher Boyce in 1981.

Go red with heart group

The American Heart Association will offer a program called “Go Red Heart Checkup” with free screenings to help identify risk factors for heart diseases in participants.

The event is planned for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Everett Mall, 1402 SE Everett Mall Way, Everett.

Other supporters include Everett Community College, Premera Blue Cross, Macy’s and an endowment from the late Kosher brothers of Snohomish County.
