Families get into holiday spirit at Marysville's Believe By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com For the second year Marysville hosted an evening of activities around the movie ‘The Polar Express’ to help families get in the holiday spirit. The 'Believe: A Magical Holiday Experience' event was held last year and brought back again this holiday season. “We show ‘The Polar Express’ but then we’ve kind of built a program around it. They get to meet the conductor, do some movie-themed crafts and have some free movie snacks,” said Joanna Martin, community center supervisor for the city of Marysville and organizer of the event. The 2004 film ‘The Polar Express’ is a holiday favorSee BELIEVE on page 2

Santa has returned to the neighborhoods of Arlington with local firefighters as the annual Santa Run Food Drive is once again being held in the city. The first day of the Santa Run was on Dec. 7 and the event will continue through Dec. 16. In one local neighborhood each night a festively decorated firefighting engine with holiday music and Santa greets children and their parents. At the same time firefighters and volunteers will be collecting donations of cash and food for the Arlington Community

Food Bank. The full list of routes and times is available at arlingtonwa.gov/272. The event helps usher in the holiday season for many local families. “It’s not Christmas until Santa comes along,” said Arlington local Susan Long. “Every year we look up when he’s going to be here,” said local Jackey Homer. “I love it. It’s so awesome. We run outside the house every year when we hear them coming." Local parent Sarah Price said she likes that it helps the local food bank as well. “We love it. It’s fun,” she said. “It just brings Christmas spirit and the canned

ite for many children and families and Martin said many locals already have a tradition of watching it each year. Tara Small said her son loves the film. “‘The Polar Express’ is one of his favorite movies, so I just thought this would be a fun adventure,” she said. A city employee dressed as the conductor, a character from the movie, introduces the film for the children. “Last year we had a miniature train go by right as he was announcing it,” said Martin. Martin said the event is meant to allow “children to get together with their family and do something memorable.” Local parent Jeremy Schlegel said it seemed like a good event for the season. “We just saw it online

ets include popcorn and snacks, so it’s something families don’t have to spend a lot on, said Martin. “The city is very passionate about providing family entertainment opportunities. It’s something you can do with multiple generations and it’s affordable,” she said. “A lot of times in the holidays you’re scratching for every cent,” she said. Last year the event sold out so there were two showings held this year. Attendance to the event increased this year as well. “It is the hope to run it again next year,” said Martin, although the Opera House plans are not “set in stone” yet. The Marysville City Opera House has been able to host a number of holidaythemed events since the city took it over a couple of years ago. “I think we’re averaging four to eight events a month and so when we do have a holiday we try to connect with it,” said Martin. Upcoming events include a Martin Luther King Jr. remembrance event and an event for Valentine’s Day. “We’re really trying to listen to the public and what they’re wanting,” said Martin. The second annual Believe event was sponsored this year by Puget Sound Pediatric Dentistry. “They have been an amazing sponsor all year round and have supported multiple events,” said Martin.

CORRECTION

The “Marysville approves 2019-20 budget” story in the Dec. 5, 2018 issue of the North County Outlook stated that the voters approved a 0.5 percent sales tax to fund the city’s upcoming public safety building. That sales tax is actually a 0.1 percent sales tax.

ASD scales down bond proposal _____ “ By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

The Arlington School District may be heading back to local voters with a scaled down version of their bond that residents voted down in February and November. The $107.5 million bond proposal failed in February with 55.89 percent of voters in favor and again in November with 52.03 percent of voters in favor. School bond measures require 60 percent approval to pass in Washington state. The district’s Facility Advisory Committee was scheduled to present a revised bond measure with $96 million in projects to the Arlington School District board of directors on Dec. 10 (which was after the North County Outlook went

to press), and if board members approve, the proposal will be on the Feb. 12, 2019 ballot. No new projects were added and some projects like the Arlington High School bus shelter were removed. The biggest parts of the bond removed were the athletic improvements and field drainage improvements. The focus of the bond remains the same as the previous bond measures. "The primary projects would be the complete rebuild of Post Middle School and adding eight classrooms and a technology and arts workshop to Arlington High School,” said Brian Lewis, executive director of operations for the Arlington School District. Because of security concerns and seismic prepared-

ness issues "the focus of the committee remains replacing Post Middle School,” said Lewis. A complete replacement costs only marginally more than a renovation, said Lewis, because so much about the current middle school would have to change. "Any improvement that we make would trigger having to get the school up to code,” said Lewis. A new Post Middle School would also help teachers and students, he said. "The classrooms don't do what we need them to do from an instructional standpoint,” he said. The district can receive about $11.4 million in state matching funds if they construct Post Middle School and new classrooms at Arlington High School.

Keep the Wreath Green this holiday season Marysville Fire District is asking residents to help “Keep the Wreath Green” this holiday season. Through New Year’s Day, a giant wreath covered in green bulbs will hang outside each of the five Marysville Fire District stations. The green bulbs will change to red whenever there is a structure fire within the Fire District. The bulbs are changed to white when a firefighter anywhere in the United States dies in the line of duty. Here are a few things to do to help prevent fires and injuries during the holidays: n Stay in the kitchen while cooking. The three leading dates for home fires caused by

cooking are Thanksgiving, Christmas and Christmas Eve. Unattended cooking is the leading factor in these fires. n Blow out lit candles when you leave the room or go to bed and avoid placing candles near decorations or things that can burn. Two out of every five home decoration fires are started by candles. n Make sure your Christmas tree is at least three feet away from any heat source (fireplaces, heaters, candles, etc.). A heat source close to the tree causes one quarter of Christmas tree fires. n Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving home or going to bed.

The safety and security improvements for all schools remain as part of the bond. Those projects include installing vestibules, cameras and interior classroom door locks in all schools. Lewis said that the district’s 2018 opinion poll showed a high priority for student safety. "The majority of respondents support improved safety and security and our work with the safety and security forum continued to show that," he said. Some miscellaneous projects remain as part of the bond as well. "There are smaller projects that are part of the bond, such as heating and ventilation systems at Weston High School or Kent Prairie Elementary,” said Lewis. The median home val-

ue in Arlington is around $350,000, said Lewis, which meant an average of $1,638 per home was collected by the local school district in 2018. Because of the district’s expiring bond debt, even if the bond passes that payment amount is estimated to be about $1,022 in 2020. This is also partially due to Washington state collecting more for education, but

”

overall the amount local homeowners pay for schools is estimated to be less in 2020 than it was in 2017. Lewis said that the school district did plan for another bond measure during their last budget. "The return on an approval would provide so much value to the school district that it is worth the cost and work on our part,” he said.

Arlington dominates Spartans 70-50 By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Arlington girls basketball team hosted a rivalry game early in the season as the Stanwood Spartans came to town on Dec. 4. From the tip-off, the Eagles and Spartans battled back and forth exchanging baskets. Both defenses allowed shots in close as Arlington ended the first quarter with a narrow lead of 19-17. Throughout the rest of the first

half the Eagles exploded on the offensive end and forced a handful of turnovers. With a huge swing in momentum, they managed to score 26 points in the second quarter and held a commanding lead at halftime, 45-31. Coming into the third quarter the Spartans started to force turnovers and create more offensive possessions for themselves. They managed to slow down Arlington, but it wasn’t enough as they were outscored 10-9. In the

final quarter the Eagles slowed down and used their ball movement to create long possessions. In the end, Arlington walked away with the 70-50 blowout over Stanwood. “It feels great to get one, especially in a rivalry game and with such a young team. It’s great experience early on in the season because right now we just need to learn how to win and tonight we did it. We’re still working on some things but I’m happy with where we’re at so far,” said Arlington Head Coach Joe Marsh. Arlington’s stable of talented sophomores played a key role throughout the game. Josie Stupey led the game in points, 19, as well as adding on five assists, three rebounds, two steals and one three-pointer. Hailey Hiatt racked up 13 points of her own with two three-pointers, two assists, three rebounds and one steal. Jordan Bartlow only tallied four points and two assists on the offensive end but came up big on the defense with a game-high seven steals. The Eagles’ juniors also made an impact on the game as they consistently played at a high level. Team captain, Sierra Scheppele, dropped 14 points with two shots made beyond the arc, one assist, three rebounds and three steals. Allison Deberry had an impressive day as she dropped in a game-high five three-pointers, had a total of 17 points, three assists, two rebounds and one steal. Your next opportunity to support the Eagles at home will be on Friday, Dec. 14, at 7:15 p.m. when Arlington will host the Shorecrest Scots.

M'ville swim hosts Lake Stevens Pet By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com

The Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell boys swim teams hosted the Lake Stevens Vikings for their first meet of the season on Dec. 6. Throughout the dual meet the Vikings took control, as the Tomahawks and the Chargers lost to Lake Stevens 103-44 and 141-38, respectively. “We had a lot of our returners and some new swimmers already make District times which was great to see. Everyone is coming out really strong, faster than before and swimming with great technique. It really builds the confidence of the team and

their overall outlook on the season,” said Marysville Head Coach Meredith Jenks. Marysville-Pilchuck’s 200-yard medley relay team of Ian Meetsma, Leif Anderson, Seth Little and Jayden Boyle dominated in their event, as well as each member taking control of their individual races. The Tomahawks finished second in the medley relay with a time of 1:59.25, and also competed together on the third-place 400-yard freestyle relay team, 4:19.19. On his own, Meetsma placed first in the 100-yard freestyle, 54.81 seconds, and second place in the 100-yard backstroke, 1:03.83. Anderson finished second in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:13.12 and also placed

The Marysville Getchell boys basketball team got off to a strong start to the season as they hosted the Kamiak Knights on Dec. 5. The Chargers started off the game in dominating fashion as they rattled off a 7-0 run over the Knights. After the run, Kamiak started to battle back slowly and closed out the first quarter down by four, 14-10. Heading into the second quarter the Knights began to catch fire from beyond the arc and locked down Marysville Getchell on the defensive end. Kamiak outscored the Chargers 16-8 in the quarter and entered halftime up 26-22. Coming out of the half, Marysville Getchell went on another incredible run as they outscored Kamiak 13-2. The Knights managed to fight back before the end of the quarter but still trailed 42-36. In the final quarter both teams stood tall on the defensive end from start to finish. The game came down to a

one-point lead in the last few seconds, and the Chargers held on to the victory over the Knights by a score of 53-52. “It feels outstanding to come out here and get a win in our first game. The guys have been working their tails off and you could see all their hard work in how they played. We got off to a hot start and then later they had to find a way to close out the game, it was fun,” said Marysville Getchell Head Coach Corby Schuh. Marysville Getchell’s sophomore backcourt duo of Malakhi Knight and Josiah Koellmer had a strong start to the season. Knight, team captain, led the team with a game-high 19 points, with one threepointer, one assist, five rebounds, four steals and one block. Koellmer showed out in his first start at point guard with nine points, one three-pointer, four assists, four rebounds and one steal. The Chargers’ seniors Caleb Koellmer and Matt Thomas played a key role

Marisa is a sweet girl that’s been through a lot of changes recently, so she’s looking for a quiet, patient fur-ever family willing to let her settle in at her own pace. Once she gets comfortable, it won’t take her long to give headbutts and ask for gentle pets. Marisa isn’t a fan of being over-handled, so a home with older kids or adults that understand cat body language is recommended. If you have room in your heart and home for a lovely feline, come meet Marisa at Noah today!

Firefighters battle Arlington receives funding for roundabout ___ mobile home fire By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com A fire believed to have started with a wood stove heavily damaged a mobile home on in the Snug Harbor Mobile Home Park. Marysville Fire District and Tulalip Bay firefighters were dispatched to a residential fire in the 4400 block of Meridian Avenue North shortly after 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 5. Firefighters found heavy smoke coming from the roof of a mobile home and flames around the wood stove pipe inside the home. Two people inside the home had managed to escape unharmed. It took firefighters just over 10 minutes to extinguish the fire. A preliminary investigation by the Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office determined the fire was caused by an installation issue with the wood stove. The fire left approximately $15,000 in damage. As we continue to experience extremely cold temperatures, the Marysville Fire District reminds residents to

Fire officials recommend testing your smoke alarms at least once a month. use precautions while heating your home: n Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment, including a fireplace, furnace, wood stove or space heater. n Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters. n Never use your oven to heat your home. n Have a qualified professional install stationary heating equipment. n Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. n Test your smoke alarms at least once a month.

The city of Arlington has secured funding for a roundabout near the Arlington Safeway that officials hope will improve safety for cars and pedestrians. The city will receive $1.6 million from the Transportation Improvement Board assuming that the board’s budget is approved as part of the Washington state budget by the state legislature. The roundabout is planned for 204th Street and 77th Avenue (which becomes Olympic Place north of 204th Street), which is the intersection that is near businesses like Burger King and AutoZone auto parts. “This has been an area that we have been looking at for a number of years to improve,” said Kristin Banfield, communications manager for the city of Arlington. In particular the city hopes to improve safety. “It does have many more collisions that occur when compared against other areas,” she said. Drivers turning onto

204th often have to make turns across many lanes of traffic that does not stop. “We think this is going to make vehicles safer and pedestrians safer as well,” said Banfield. The roundabout will provide some areas in the center of the street where pedestrians can safely stop so they don't have to get across the street all at once. “Roundabouts also tend to slow down traffic, so reducing speed will improve pedestrian safety,” said Banfield. The road’s speed limit is already set at 25 miles per hour but some drivers go faster on that road, said Banfield.

A concept of what the 204th Street roundabout could look like. A roundabout was chosen as the city's preferred solution at the intersection because it was able to move traffic throughout the corridor faster than other options. “We did look at other interim solutions, such as stop signs or a stop light,” said Banfield. “For both of

those, our models showed that traffic would back up into Highway 9, and that is already an area that sees congestion, so that was not going to help anyone." In addition to the $1.6 million from the state’s Transportation Improvement Board, $950,000 more in funds will come from mitigation fees from recent development in the area, said Banfield. Arlington, like most cities in the area, collects fees on most new construction for the purpose of transportation improvement. In total the project is expected cost $2.55 million. “We do have to do revisions to this road, so it does cost more than some would expect,” said Banfield. The cost estimate also includes any possible future costs as well. “If gas prices go up, so does the cost of asphalt for example,” said Banfield. Banfield said the city hopes to complete design work for the roundabout in 2019 and begin construction in 2020. “We’re really grateful for the grant award. It will be a significant improvement for the safety of this corridor,” she said.

Scott named 2018 Airport Person of the Year

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

Long-time leader of the Arlington Fly-In and cofounder of the Arlington Ultra-light Airpark Jim Scott was recognized as the 2018 Airport Person of the Year on Dec. 7. The award recognizes those who help the local airport community. “We started this about three years ago to honor someone who has made a significant contribution to aviation at this airport and Jim certainly fit that criteria,” said David Ryan, director of the Arlington Municipal Airport. “My first reaction was ‘I’m sure there are people just as deserving.’ I’m not the guy out looking for fanfare, but I’m honored the airport chose me,” Scott said. He has been involved in aviation for most of his life and obtained his pilot license when he was 17. For 25 years Scott served as the manager of the Arlington Fly-In and Airshow until stepping down from the role, although he is still involved in the event in other capacities. Beginning in the 1980s Scott helped to create the Arlington Ultra-Light Airpark at the airport. “My family and I built the ultra-light airpark and we started that in the early ‘80s,” he said. Scott is known for his work on Rotax engines, which are a brand of internal combustion engines used in aircraft. “He’s not going to say it but he’s kind of the guru of the Rotax engines and the lightsport and ultralight aircraft,” said Ryan. “Someone recently told me we were the busiest Rotax repair center west of the Mississippi, and I said ’Really? I didn’t know I was working that hard,’” said Scott. Scott said he enjoys being part of the community at the airport. “He’s been active in the aviation community here for many, many years,” said Ryan. About 10 to 15 years ago Scott recalls plans to add a control tower to the airport and how quickly the community was able to come together. “We started making phone calls and over 100 pilots showed up at the next airport commissioners meeting, and to me that just says even though we don’t see each other all the time we all have something

He said that the airport brings a lot of value to the area with business and staging for firefighting airplanes, search and rescue, and military. “I know a lot of people don’t fly and aren’t interested in airplanes, maybe they’re irritated by the noise, but when you’re in the aviation community it’s tremendous to see what an

airport brings to the community,” he said. Scott said he enjoys being part of the Arlington community overall as well. “It’s such a great community to work and live in. When I came here the community was much smaller,” he said. “People are friendly. It’s not quite like the old days where you never lock your house, but it still feels like a small community here,” he said

Community members are invited to the fifth annual Christmas Powwow on Dec. 15 to see traditional Native dancing, receive some holiday gifts and much more. The event is put on by the Marysville School District's Indian Education Department and Tulalip Youth Services. The Christmas Powwow is from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Marysville Tulalip Campus’ Francis Sheldon Gym at 7204 27th Ave. NE, Tulalip. The grand entry is at 6 p.m. “That is when all of the dancing really starts,” said Matt Remle, a Native liaison with the Marysville School District and one of the main organizers of the event. The Native dancing comes from the traditions of the northern plains Native Americans, said Remle. “I think that people like that we keep the focus on traditional powwows. So there’s no competition involved and it’s just to have fun,” he said. The event also partners with Toys for Tots to give presents for children up to age 17. Holiday photos with Santa and presents are available at “Santa’s Workshop” which is open from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the event. “I like seeing all the kids getting gifts,” said Remle.

Native American dancers make their way into the center of the powwow during the grand entry during the Christmas Powwow and Coastal Jam from the Marysville School District and Tulalip Tribes on Dec. 19, 2017. “They’re already excited for this time of year as well,” he said. A free dinner is also available at the event. Remle said the holidays can be a stressful time for some families “so if we can go out and provide some gifts and some food, that is a good thing,” he said. A cakewalk will also be held at the powwow, along with space for vendors, which Remle said are mostly Native locals selling crafts and art pieces. Remle said it was good to hold local powwows like this one. “I’ve worked in the district for 15 years now and

we used to have powwows but we stopped for a while,” he said. The first Christmas Powwow came after the Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooting. “It really came out in the aftermath of the tragedy that happened at M-P in 2014,” said Remle. “One student asked me if I knew of any upcoming powwows at the time, and there wasn’t, but I said we could make something happen,” he said. District officials and Tulalip officials worked to provide something positive for local families at the time, he said. “We knew that going into the holiday right after that was going to be hard,” he said. The Christmas Powwow has now been held for five years. “The response was awesome so we have kept it up all these years,” said Remle. “We’ve had a pretty amazing turnout the last couple of years." Remle invites anyone from the community to the powwow, even if they’re not Native. “Anybody is welcome to come down. You don’t have to be from the tribal community,” he said.

Arlington Rotary honors outstanding students Three outstanding middle and high school students were recognized Nov. 29 by the Rotary Club of Arlington for making a difference in their respective schools. The Rotarians wanted to recognize students who stand out in different ways in their schools. The Rotary Club also donated $50 to a charity of the student’s choice. Post Middle School student Kaden Martinsen sets high personal standards and works diligently until he has achieved them. “He always knows when to be a serious worker, when to have a little fun, and is a friend to all,” said Post English Language Arts Teacher, Heidi Graham. “He is the kind of kid I want to teach all day!” Kaden’s $50 contri-

bution will be made to Rascal Rodeo. Trinity Bowles from Haller Middle School goes out of her way to make sure each individual - peers and adults – feels welcomed and an important part of Haller. “She embodies servant leadership and is a ray of sunshine to all those with whom she works,” said Haller English Language Arts Teacher, Greer VerrierDavis. Trinity’s $50 contribution will be made to Seattle Children’s Hospital. Aaron Holocke from Weston High School listens to others’ problems and tries to help them. “People enjoy Aaron’s presence because he makes people feel valued,” said Weston Principal, Will Nelson. “This admirable trait permeates

Donors needed for Dec. 15 blood drive By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Arlington local Katie Phillips is organizing a blood drive on Dec. 15 which is meant to help Bloodworks Northwest as local blood banks are running low during the holiday season. Because of a high number of local surgeries recently, and a decrease of donations likely related to the holidays, area blood banks are in high need of donations. All blood types are needed, but O+, O-, A-, B- and AB- are the most in demand. Phillips is hosting a blood drive with Bloodworks Northwest on Dec. 15 at the Arlington City Hall parking lot next to Legion Park at 114 N Olympic

Ave., Arlington. The event is being held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. except for an hour which they are closed from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The Bloodworks Northwest mobile bus will be on hand at the event for those donating. Phillips’ family holds a blood drive every year in honor of her uncle, Elliot Carbajal, but now Phillips holds her own as well. “A few years ago I did a blood drive as a school project,” and has kept up with various drives since then, she said. This blood drive is meant to honor her grandpa as well. “It will be in honor of my grandpa Joe and my uncle Elliot,” she said. Elliot grew up in Ar-

lington and was involved in an accident just after high school, at which point he needed many units of blood to save his life. Because of that he became a frequent blood donor before he died in 2009. Phillips and her family continue that tradition each year and now Phillips runs her own blood drives as well. “I think blood drives are really important,” she said. “A lab can’t make blood, so the only way they can get it is by people coming down to give." “And the blood center does run low every so often. It’s my goal for the blood centers around here to never be low,” she said. Donating blood is a simple way to help out those around you, she said.

food drive is always awesome.” The event is put on by Arlington firefighters with help from volunteers from the police, the city and the community at large. Local firefighters said they like the interaction with local residents. “It’s just a nice way to give back to the community and a chance to get out there when you’re not on an emergency call,” said Arlington Fire Department Captain Jason Brisson. “It draws the community together. They don’t have to come to the downtown, and it does take a lot of work but we try and get out to all the neighborhoods in the city,” he said. Firefighter JJ Wakefield said that he has been helping with the Santa Run for three years and he likes meeting the community. “They get to see us in a different light … and get to know us on a different basis,” he said. “We only see them on their bad times, and with this we get to see them during the good time.” Wakefield also enjoys giving local kids a chance to meet Santa. “I love just seeing the kids faces. They get so happy when we go over there, bring them candy canes and Santa,” he said. Gathering donations for the food bank is also an important part of why Brisson enjoys participating in the Santa Run. “It’s a lot of work, a lot

of energy, but it takes care of a lot of people during the holidays and feeds a lot of people,” he said. “It brings in quite a bit of cash that can stretched a lot further,” he said. The Santa Run has be held for decades in Arlington and Brisson said that the firefighters plan to keep the event alive. “I don’t know if you want to call it tradition or habit at this point, but it’s something that a lot of us couldn’t imagine not doing,” Brisson said.

Santa puts one in my stocking this year. Speaking of tools, how would you like to simplify your collection of gardening tools by only having to own one long handle that you could snap on a plethora of assorted attachments, depending on what you needed to accomplish? The German company Wolf Garten has developed just this type of interlocking system - it is so popular in Europe that the expression “wolfing” is synonymous with “gardening” (or so I have been told by my somewhat long-winded sales rep). These tools are of course a reflection of German engineering and come with a 35 year guarantee (sounds like “lifetime” to me). They are made of stainless steel, lightweight aluminum, and plastic and with a simple click, you can remove the attachment from a 12 inch handle and snap it on to a 5 foot handle. What I really like about this system is that once I have purchased the handle, I can buy (or better yet, friends can gift me) a new attachment every year.

Think of it as the gift that keeps giving. As an added incentive, the company is offering a bonus tote bag for free when you spend $49 or more. I can’t wait to start my collection. Well, I guess two ideas isn’t much of a list but at least it’s a start. I will continue next week with some additional thoughts that will surely help you finish up your shopping for the season. In the meantime stay warm! Steve Smith is the owner of Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville, Washington and can be reached at info@sunnysidenursery.net.

Snohomish County Council adopts 2019 budget

On Monday, Nov. 19, the Snohomish County Council adopted the 2019 budget. The budget reflects North County values of fiscal responsibility and prioritizing public safety. This budget process has been hailed as one of the most collaborative and bipartisan in Snohomish County’s history. It began early this year when Executive Somers began meeting regularly with Council Chair Stephanie Wright and I to discuss budget priorities and guiding principles. Throughout the process, all council members were heard and the resulting budget strikes a balance of freezing the general property tax levy while funding important functions, particularly public safety. For the second consecutive year, we voted to not increase the County’s general property tax levy. This is a commitment to the taxpayers of Snohomish County that we recognize the growing tax burden which residents face from everincreasing state and local taxes. I will continue to look for ways to cut costs and reduce the tax burden on our residents. Another element from last year's budget which we built on this year was adding five new deputies to the Sheriff ’s office. I believe that public safety is the top priority of local government

Nate Nehring

and am proud that we have added 10 deputies over the last two years. I am also proud of the work in this year’s budget to build up our fiscal resiliency for the years to come. We now have a 14% fund balance (up from 11% last year) which puts us in a better position for the next economic downtown. In addition to increasing our fund balance, we also dedicated a significant amount of money into the County’s revenue stabilization fund. This fund is essentially the County’s “rainy day fund” and requires a supermajority vote of the County Council to spend these funds. This ensures that we are only spending the money when it is absolutely necessary. The adopted 2019 budget contributes approximately $2.5 million into the revenue stabilization fund, which is the largest investment into this fund since its inception. When there are years of economic growth and positive revenues such as

this year, there can be pressure to spend those dollars on new initiatives. Instead of doing this, the County Council in collaboration with the Executive have decided to store that money for a rainy day. This way, we will be in a much better position when the next economic downturn occurs and will be at a lower risk for potential layoffs. In summary, the adopted 2019 budget for Snohomish County reflects our commitment to fiscal responsibility and public safety that North County residents expect from their county government. I am proud of the collaborative and bipartisan manner in which this year’s budget process was conducted and I strongly believe that it has resulted in a benefit for the taxpayers throughout Snohomish County. I hope to continue to work with my fellow Councilmembers as well as the County Executive in future years to find ways to save money and keep Snohomish County government running efficiently. Nate Nehring is a member of the Snohomish County Council and represents District 1 which includes Arlington, Darrington, Granite Falls, Marysville, Stanwood, and unincorporated north county.

People were here right at 4 p.m. buying their tickets and wanting to be on the first train,” said Lauren Woodmansee, cultural arts supervisor with the city of Marysville and one of the organizers of the event. Families can take a train ride through the golf course and Santa stops by to visit with families during the ride as well. Local parent Michelle DelRosario said she enjoyed going through the tour. “It was awesome. We love Santa and that he gave the adults candy canes as well,” she said. Light displays are provided by the city and by lo-

Local parent Hailey Parsons said that her family enjoys getting on the train to see the different holiday displays. “We love it, we come every year,” she said, “I like all the different scenes that are out there.” There are five new displays this year including an excavator elf sponsored by Reece Construction and a brand-new inflatable candy cane castle.

December 12, 2018 - December 18, 2018 NORTH COUNTY OUTLOOK

This year there are other improvements to the event as well. “We’ve enhanced all of the music on the course and have a lot of new enhanced LED lights,” said Woodmansee. The music is louder and the lights brighter this year because of that, Woodmansee said. “We’ve gotten a great response. People that come every year have already noticed. They’re getting off the train and telling me what’s new, so it’s noticeable, which is exciting,” said Woodmansee.

After the train ride through the golf course, families can return to the deck of Bleachers Grill for a bonfire and photo opportunities. Marshmallows are also available to cook over the fire. Woodmansee added that people enjoy the event because it is close to home. “I think they love that it is in their town. That the city of Marysville and partners like Bleachers and Reece Construction and all of these wonderful businesses all support something like this,” she said.
