The Academy is free and open to any citizens 18 years or older who live or work in Sumner. Its weekly sessions begin the first week of April. To find out more, contact Jason Wilson at 253-299-5642. |

| Did you know.... |
 In 2008, Metro Animal Services adopted 715 pets to new homes. That's 715 pets who could not find their way home, even with our help. Many pet owners think that their pets will never escape, run away or get lost, but last year, 715 owners learned otherwise. Don't let your pet join this statistic in 2009. Make sure your pet license is current so that if something happens to them this year, they join the statistic of pets happily reunited with their owners! (In 2008, that was 322 pets.) |
| Don't Wait to Get Your Passport to Travel |
 On June 1, 2009, all U.S. citizens who are 16 and older will be required to present a valid passport or other alternative documents to travel between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, or Bermuda by land or sea (including ferries). Don't wait until the last minute to get your passport for summer travel! Sumner Municipal Court processes passports Mon-Tues, Thurs-Fri 8 AM - Noon, 1-2 PM, Saturday by appointment only. Learn more about applying for a passport. |
