Shelters open in Everett as mercury drops

EVERETT – Temperatures are forecast to plummet tonight and officials said they will open special cold-weather shelters through Sunday.

Sub-freezing temperatures and snow are in the forecast for the next few days, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.
