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.
