Visitor Center Grand Opening April 7, 5 pm |
 | | Sumner's Visitor Center will be one-of-a-kind, like the city it represents. |
How many tourists begin their visit by sitting in an old farmhouse kitchen and learning about the town where they've just arrived? That depends on how many begin at Sumner's new Visitor Center.
Like most visitor centers, this one offers weary travelers restrooms, brochures, maps, and event information. But, only in Sumner will they also get to watch video interviews of what the Cannery was like when it really was a cannery; identify locations on a hand-painted map of Sumner by local artist Lana Hoover, and hang out in a kitchen full of vintage teal appliances. The center will be open seven days a week, and you can join in the celebration of the center's opening on April 7, 5-7 pm. Rumor has it that on that night only, you may see Mayor Enslow and some councilmembers rolling out crust and chopping rhubarb for a pie! Thank you to the Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce, The Old Cannery, and Columbia Bank for making this new visitor center possible. |

Daffodil Festival Grand Floral Parade April 9, 2:30 pm |  The annual favorite is back! The 78th annual Daffodil Festival Grand Floral Parade will come through Sumner's Main Street starting at 2:30 pm on Saturday, April 9. This year's parade brings a Spirit of Adventure. Thank you to all the volunteers who are building a beautiful float to represent Sumner. Thank you also to the residents and businesses whose traffic and parking are affected by the celebration. |

| Public Notices |
 Ever see a yellow Notice sign around town and not get the chance to read it fully? Public notices are also posted online, which may be an easier (and drier) option for keeping up to date on the latest public notices.
