The Evergreen State Fair is back this year with new and returning food and commercial vendors, carnival rides, animal barns, displays and exhibits, entertainment, beer gardens, and more. This year's Evergreen State Fair theme is a nod to all things summer. "Bright Lights, Summer Nights" embodies everything that makes summer one of the best times of the year. From the anticipation of the rising lights above a concert stage to a stroll with friends down the vibrantly lit midway to catching the sunset or fireworks show from the top of the Ferris wheel with someone special, these moments are magical. The fair runs from August 22, 2024, through September 2, 2024. To learn more about the fair and to buy your tickets today, visit: https://lnkd.in/gCu__EnM

August’s volunteer spotlight is Ryan M. He is a dedicated father, student, and CASA. Ryan learned about CASA while completing his associate degree. With an interest in social services, Ryan interviewed someone from DCYF for one of his classes. At the end of the call, the DCYF worker suggested volunteering with CASA to learn more about the child welfare system. Knowing CASA was the right fit, Ryan went through pre-service training and was appointed to his first case. As a CASA, Ryan is motivated by the opportunity to profoundly impact a child’s life. In his free time, Ryan loves being outside, and spending time with his family. Ryan’s program coordinator says that Ryan is very dedicated to working his case as well as growing his skills as a CASA. Ryan is conscientious, thoughtful, and open to coaching. Most recently, a party on his case thanked him for being such a positive and stable support in the child’s life. Thank you, Ryan, for your commitment to advocating for children in need! #VolunteerSpotlight #VolunteerAppreciation #ChildAdvocate #SnohomishCASA #SnohomishCounty #CASA 

The Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management has launched a first-ever survey to determine just how ready area residents and businesses are to safely live with rising wildfire risks. The survey is among the first public-facing pieces of the project. The work already has determined that roughly 130,000 people – more than 15% of the county’s population – live in the wildland urban interface, the places where houses, farms, and businesses stand amid the trees. Results of the online survey will provide a snapshot of the area's level of preparedness and help to shape a countywide Community Wildfire Protection Plan.

Paine Field recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of the opening and dedication of Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary. Paine Field Airport pioneered the establishment of the first two Wetland Compensation Banks in the state of Washington back in 1999: Swanson and Narbeck. These banks facilitated safety improvements on the airfield and will aid in future airport development. The project set a standard for balancing economic growth with environmental stewardship. The success of Narbeck has led to the creation of 20 wetland mitigation banks across the state. These banks play a crucial role in environmental conservation and sustainable development.
