Map Crime in Your Neighborhood

Crime Mapping allows residents to analyze interactive maps of recent crime activity near any address. Now the community can stay informed about crime in their area by selecting crime types and date ranges to generate their own reports. www.crimemapping.com.

February Auction Update

We'd like to thank each and every one of you who made our annual 4 The Love of Animals charity auction such a huge success. Thanks to the contributions from neighbors we were able to raise $280 that went towards enriching the lives of the animals at the Everett Animal Shelter.

The shelter cares for nearly 8,000 animals each year including, cats, rabbits,pigs, mice, birds, and a variety of other species. The Everett Animal Shelter’s budget leaves very little for the things that enrich the lives of the animals in their care.

Please consider giving. The Everett Animal Shelter accepts donations of any value. You may donate in person, the shelter is open seven days a week, excluding holidays: Monday-Sunday, 10am - 5pm. To donate online go to www.everettanimalservices.org./default.aspx?ID=34.

The shelter also accepts certain brands of food, selective toys, and other miscellaneous supplies (see page 2). View the shelter’s full wish list at www.ci.everett.wa.us/default.aspx?ID=255.
