Snohomish County Veterans' Network of Care

 

The Network of Care for Service Members, Veterans & Their Families is part of a growing awareness and effort to take a community approach to the needs of returning veterans, to ensure that they are a valuable part of a healthy community and that the community is a meaningful part of the health of the veteran. The Network of Care for Service Members, Veterans & Their Families is a one-stop-shop for virtually all services, information, support, advocacy, and much more. This public service is an attempt to bring together critical information for all components of the veterans' community, including veterans, family members, active-duty personnel, reservists, members of the National Guard, employers, service providers, and the community at large. Since the introduction of this program in October 2011, the response has been phenomenal:

4,260 total sessions or just over 23 per day

25,601 total page views; nearly 140 per day

95,446 total hits (521.5 per day)

 

Average length of time spent per session overall has been 5 minutes, 17 seconds

 

 

Council Meets With South Korean Delegation

 

Trade is an important component of our economic program. On Tuesday, March 27th Snohomish County's sister county, Dangjin sent a delegation to meet with our business and government officials. The Council enjoyed hosting the delegation in our Snohomish County Council chambers for a time of sharing information about our region. The delegation of approximately 12 men and women was led by Dangjin Mayor Lee Chul-hwan.

Green Mountain Lookout

 

The Snohomish County Council passed Resolution 12-008 on Wednesday, April 18th. This resolution encourages action to amend the Wilderness Act to allow historic and culturally significant places, including Green Mountain Lookout, to continue to be maintained and operated in wilderness areas. The resolution respectfully requests that members of our federal congressional delegation consider potential legislative remedies that would amend the Wilderness Act to continue to exist and be maintained in designated wilderness areas.
