Police Report

We had a Q&A with the police.  Here are some key points.

• Homelessness-COET provides Outreach and tries to link people with services.  Police call Streets to pick up garbage.  RV's have moved but more problems with tents and groups like under the trestle, Hewitt and Pacific.

• Body cameras- all police in uniform have them and must turn them on anytime they have contact with the public.

• Reminder to not leave anything in your care.

Port of Everett

Catherine shared a lot of great information on the port of Everett.  Here are some highlights.

• The first building of apartments are being pre-leased now.

• The new cranes are now in operation- allowing bigger ships to dock at the Everett Port.
