Natural Gas

Puget Sound Energy (PSE) introduced Washington territory to gas lighting in 1873. Today they operate the state's largest natural-gas distribution system, serving nearly 800,000 gas customers in six counties.

About half the gas is obtained from producers and marketers in British Columbia and Alberta, and the rest comes from Rocky Mountain States.

United States Postal Service - Informed Delivery

How many times has the USPS just missed the mark. Your mail ends up in the wrong box or arrives when you least expect it. In some cases we don't know when a package is scheduled to arrive. The other carriers seem to do a little better job most of the time. Well, there is a way to improve your life just a little, by signing up for Informed Delivery.

Informed Delivery is a free and optional notification service that gives residential consumers the ability to digitally preview their letter-sized mailpieces and manage their packages scheduled to arrive soon. Informed Delivery makes mail more convenient by allowing users to view what is coming to their mailbox whenever, wherever – even while traveling – on a computer, tablet or mobile device. To automate the sortation and delivery of mail, the United States Postal Service® (USPS) digitally images the front of letter-sized mailpieces that run through automation equipment. USPS is now using those images to provide digital notifications to users in advance of the delivery of physical mail. Informed Delivery benefits the entire household, ensuring that everyone has visibility into mail and package delivery each day. Informed Delivery allows users to take action before important items reach their mailbox.

Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management

The Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management coordinates emergency management in partnership with the whole community to lessen the impact of disasters on people, property, the environment, and the economy.

They have full time staff working refine the plans, personnel and training to respond to any disaster within the county. One of the most significant disasters that involve not just the staff, but many agencies working together to mitigate the risk of an earthquake. By having a broad spectrum of personnel trained to respond and work together, many lives will be saved, during and following a major disaster. Of particular interest to our families and the community are the following links;

Registered Sex Offenders

Sex offenders have always lived in our communities, but it was not until passage of the Community Protection Act of 1990, which mandated sex offender registration, that law enforcement knew where they were living. Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate, or harass registered sex offenders is illegal and such abuse could potentially end law enforcement's ability to do community notifications.

Because sex offenders drive their power through secrecy, the only person who wins if community notification ends is the sex offender.

For more information about the registry notification program go to the Registered Sex Offender notification website. Or to see the location of offenders in our area, click HERE.
