This could help fulfill a New Year’s resolution for those who want to become American citizens.
Learn about applying for citizenship by joining a class at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Mountlake Terrace library.
“We are so excited to report that since we began offering these classes in October, three people have become U.S. citizens,” says Rosy Brewer, managing librarian. “The students have expressed great appreciation for these classes and how much taking the classes helped them pass the test.”
Whether folks are just starting to apply for citizenship, already have an interview date or would just like to know more about the process, join the class at 23300 58th Ave. W.
For more information and registration, call 425-776-8722 or register at the library.

When the Blackman House Museum in Snohomish opened for holiday hours, they provided festive displays.
Sharon Swoboda with McDaniel’s Do-It Center in Snohomish offered a variety of decorative plants to spruce up with natural materials.
Snohomish Historical Society President Warner Blake thought the 2008 display with artificial greenery and electric lights didn’t do the trick in keeping with the early history of the home, he says.
They wanted the home to look as it might have at in the 1890s.
Featured was a 4-foot-tall Black Hills spruce, on loan from McDaniel’s garden shop, which was placed on a table in the front parlor.
“This was the custom practiced in Europe, so the story goes, and that in the 1600s, every member of the family had their own small tree on a table with their gifts placed around it,” Blake says.

They had a great response from the staff and even the patients, Holmes says.
