Arlington
Police station opening delayed
The new police station won’t be ready in time for the national Night Out Against Crime programs the city has planned. Delays in construction on the $8.35 million police station and City Council chambers have forced the city to move a luncheon workshop.
Other parts of the program, such as demonstrations of bicycle safety, will still happen at the new police station’s parking lot.
The city does not have a move-in date, Police Chief John Gray said. The delays involve some of the building’s finishing touches, he said.
The luncheon workshop is for the business community and includes the presentation “How Not to be a Victim of Fraud or Theft.” The lunch costs $10 and will be from noon to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Arlington Boys &Girls Club, 18513 59th Ave. NE. To make reservations, call Loretta Cortelyou at 360-403-3441 or e-mail lcortelyou@ci.arlington.wa.us.
At 2 p.m., the bike safety demonstrations will start at the new station, 238 N. Olympic Ave.
At 4 p.m., safety demonstrations and exhibits are planned.
