Thanks to businesses for supporting police

A huge thank you to Les Schwab and Starbucks of Snohomish from the Snohomish Police Foundation! On May 22, the Snohomish Les Schwab let us use their place to hold a car wash. On June 4, the Snohomish Starbucks offered up free tall drinks to all who purchased bracelets or shirts that day.

Both of these events were very successful due to these businesses and our community saying, “Not in our town!” (Referring to no drugs or drug dealers in our town. We’re a foundation working to support our Snohomish PD).

Thank you so much.
