SMOKEY POINT — Automobile and motorcycle enthusiasts didn’t let the weekend downpour stop them from supporting the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. Sound Harley-Davidson drew an estimated 14 entrants for its July 16 bike show and 26 entrants for its July 17 car show, both of which raised funds for NMCRS. As of July 17, NMCRS Everett Director Andy Leech reported that more than $400 had been collected at the bike show and predicted that the car show would yield even more donations for an estimated total of between $1,000 and $1,200 for NMCRS for both days. Marysville’s Randy McDonald, head road captain for the Puget Sound Chapter of the Harley Owners Group, estimated that as many as 40 of his fellow Puget Sound HOG Chapter members showed up to Sound Harley on July 16, in spite of the day’s heavy rain. “We were actually going to help out with the graffiti paint-out in Marysville this morning, but that got cancelled,” McDonald said. “I didn’t buy my bike to have it just sit in the garage,” he laughed.

ARLINGTON — After more than two decades, Arlington’s annual Street Fair still offered attendees new avenues of entertainment this year. “The Purse Lady” Debbie Whitis chaired the event for the first time this year and

credited pleasant weather, local newspaper coverage, and a mix of new features and familiar favorites with drawing plenty of foot traffic to Olympic Avenue from July 8-10. “We must have had at least twice as many visitors this year as last year,” said Whitis, who’s been a vendor at the Street Fair for the past four

years. “On Sunday, we didn’t officially start up until 11 a.m., but I’d already sold my first bag by 9:30 a.m. We’ve gotten so much positive feedback that we’ve already started signing vendors up for next year.” Arlington’s Logan Springer, 7, climbed his first rock wall SEE FAIR, PAGE 2
