FYI

The Washington Dental Service Foundation SmileMobile plans to come to Valley General Hospital, 14701 179th Ave. SE, Monroe, from Dec. 4 to 15.

The SmileMobile, a dental office on wheels, brings oral health services year-round to children from limited-income families who would not otherwise have access to needed dentistry.
