One week turn around time! Republic Services and the city’s PublicWorks staff helped unload hundreds of vehicles full of garbage at Cavelero Mid High School on Saturday, May 7 for the City Annual Clean-Up. Dozens of members of local service clubs also helped clean up the streets around the city. Lake Stevens is a much clean- er place after last weekend’s an- nual city wide clean-up. Residents cleaned out ga- rages, closets and yards while local clubs and service groups joined Mayor John Spencer in cleaning local streets, parks and around streams.

Mayor John Spencer, who was on the city council at the time of the budget approval, is thrilled about the vast im- provement thus far at the park. “During the summer last year, it was evident that the park wasn’t well cared for,” Spencer said. “After the elec- tion I spoke with the Chamber and decided that we should both be working to build more business and help those who , OCR Text: health fair The annual Health & Safety Fair is coming in June.
