Healthy Living in the Stilly Valley: Health & Safety Fair

On May 17th, we hosted our annual Health and Safety Fair at Legion Park in downtown Arlington.

We were excited to see so many of you come out despite the rain and participate in the event. Seattle Children's distributed over 80 bike helmets to youth under the age of 18. The Arlington Police Department's Bike Rodeo was a hit, and children enjoyed testing out the course on bikes and scooters. We would like to thank all the organizations who participated and shared their services and provided safety training, Naloxone/Narcan, window and gun locks.
