Our community organizers are at it again with their annual City-Wide Yard Sale coming up Aug. 2. Made up of dozens of residents holding their own yard sales on the same day, participation is on an at-will basis, and last year’s participants took home an average of $100 apiece in sales. Sales are expected to begin at 8 a.m., and the Vader Park Board will make a showing with hotdogs for sale. To get your home marked on a map to be handed out during the event, contact organizer Judy Costello at (360) 295-3036.

If you have yet to turn in your application for free side sewer replacement, City Hall has good news: the deadline to apply has been extended one month to Aug. 25.

For more info, as well as details about what is needed to apply, call City Hall at (360) 295-3222.
