Snohomish County fire agencies are partnering with the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management to deliver a critical tool in our community’s fight against COVID-19.

Fire departments will soon begin distributing approximately 150,000 free cloth face coverings, or masks, to residents throughout the county.

The alleged victim now tells Snohomish County detectives that he made up his previous story that a 44-year-old homeless man tried to kidnap him because he was afraid he would get into trouble by visiting woods near his apartment complex.

Due to recent rains and anticipated cooler weather conditions, effective Tuesday, October 6th, at 8:00 am, the burn ban is lifted for all of the unincorporated areas of Snohomish County by order of the Snohomish County Fire Marshal, Michael McCrary.

Over the June 26th weekend, 10 Everett firefighters were placed in quarantine at their homes after a co-worker became ill after their work shift.

Three additional firefighters are also in quarantine due to separate exposures to individuals with known COVID-19 infections.

Penny Creek Elementary School students Kylah Milony and Nate Ottem placed in the top three at their grade level for the Snohomish Conservation District's Youth Earth Day Challenge.

Teacher Kirsten Judd’s combined third and fourth grade class was assigned a STEAM project in April to design environmental upgrades to an existing place.

Out of an abundance of caution over the spread of COVID-19, Snohomish County and the City of Everett declared a simultaneous State of Emergency on Wedenesday, March 4th, making it easier to continue to work together as partners to keep the community safe.

Early on Tuesday morning, January 7th, Snohomish County Sheriff's deputies responded to a stabbing in south Everett.

A 37 year-old man, with stab wounds to his neck and leg was transported by aid to Providence Regional Medical Center with serious injuries.
