MARYSVILLE — Tulalip Tribal Police Sgt. Sherman Pruitt’s face lit up with each child that stopped by his table. “Hey, how you doing?” Pruitt greeted them, before offering them candy and heatsensitive pencils that change color. “You want some Scooby snacks? Give me a highfive!” Pruitt is a powerfully built man who easily towers over even the tallest of children and adults alike, but for the past three National Nights Out Against Crime in the Marysville and Tulalip communities, he’s made a habit of hunching over to try and meet curious kids at their eye-level, all while grinning nearly ear-to-ear. “The great thing about the National Night Out is that we get to talk to these kids, and they get to see us in a whole different light, SEE CRIME, PAGE 2

LAKEWOOD — Oscar Escalante and Michael Blank are leading in the race for the Lakewood School District Director District 1 position, as of 5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 8. “I will have to be talking with the voters,” said Escalante, who received 742 votes or 41.57 percent of total votes counted. “I feel that people in the community have been watching the work that’s been done in Lakewood.” Escalante believes that his track record of work within the district has helped garner support for him, while Blank believes that his new ideas and fresh perspective are what drew so many votes. “I think it’s time for fresh blood and new ideas,” said Blank, who received

672 votes or 37.65 percent of the total votes counted in his first election. “Who knows, maybe people are saying ‘Thank you for your work for the last 12 years but let’s bring in someone new.’” Blank said his ideas on how to build the new high school facility simply make sense to the voters — to save money and reroute those dollars into teachers’ salaries. Escalante is hoping that his proven ability to improve the district will draw support. “There are voters there who are showing that support based on my previous work,” he said. “It’s good to notice that, because it only reassures that my commitment to the district is ultimately to serve our kids. That’s the bottom line, to serve our students. Parents have seen SEE LWSD, PAGE 12
