Rainbow Bridge gets a check-up - Alexander Kramer
A crew of county and state inspectors recently combed over the Rainbow Bridge to check the 53-year-old bridge's overall health. This was "part of a regularly scheduled in-depth inspection," said Jerald Dodson, who works for the Washington State Department of Transportation's Bridge Preservation Office.
Swinomish Earth Day
EDIT: Due to schedule conflicts, the Swinomish Earth Day is now set for this Sunday.
The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community will celebrate the planet with an eco-conscious community event everyone is invited to attend. From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. volunteers can come help out at the Swinomish Community Center on Reservation Road. Old electronics such as televisions, computers, and monitors can be dropped off for recycling. The LCHS Earth Club will also be selling "salsa bowl" planter boxes with tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic and peppers. Proceeds will buy fresh produce for families that can't afford it.
