TULALIP — The unloading of a truck full of compost at the Marysville Arts & Technology High School on Wednesday, April 30, represented the culmination of a six-year dream for Arts & Tech math teacher Karen McCaffrey, and a unique opportunity for Arts & Tech students get dirty while growing their own food. “Last year, we finally started a club devoted to growing local food,” McCaffrey said. “Not only is the process of gardening a valuable experience, but it teaches these kids how essential these foods are to their health and well-being.” The Arts & Tech gardens benefitted from the fourth annual Compost Days campaign — jointly coordinated by Cedar Grove, Waste Management, King County and Seattle Public Utilities — which conducted its Big Garden Give, the region’s first compost drive, providing free compost to 120 gardens that grow food for low-income communities in Snohomish and King counties.

EVERETT — Snohomish County officials explained on Monday, April 28, that the end of active search operations at the State Route 530 slide site will not mark an end to the search overall, nor will it result in the remaining search operations being conducted at a quicker pace. Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary elaborated that this represents a reduction from 900 Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo -1,000 people per day, working Snohomish County Executive John Lovick praises the during the height of the search, response to the State Route 530 slide, while Snohomish to as few as 30 searchers now, who will be conducting pas-

sive search operations as debris removal commences. Spotters in the field will work alongside heavy equipment operators to identify personal property that might still be in the slide material, and an active search could resume if conditions change, allowing access to areas that were previously inaccessible, or if evidence indicates the proximity of a victim. “We will still be proceeding responsibly, and it will still be a painstakingly slow process,” said Trenary, who credited the search maps that were drawn up at the outset of the search with continuing to direct their efforts in the most efficient manner
possible. “That mapping has given us really good information, but it’s still like trying to find a needle in a haystack.” While 41 victims have been identified by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner, two people — 53-year-old Steven N. Hadaway and 44-year-old Molly K. Regelbrugge, both residents of Steelhead Drive — remain missing. According to Trenary, searchers believe that Hadaway’s body is in a pool deep enough that it will need to be drained before searching it becomes feasible. Trenary added that recent wet weather SEE SEARCH, PAGE 24
