FYI

A garage sale, barbecue and raffle are planned for 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 15 at the Marysville John L. Scott office, 1241 State St., to help benefit Lakewood High School student Meggi Ward.

In support of the national event, habitat stewards from the Camano Community Wildlife Project will give a nature presentation at 7:30 tonight at the amphitheater at Camano Island State Park, 2269 S. Lowell Point Road. Learn about the habitats and wildlife found on the island and how to attract birds and butterflies to your yard.
