Permits may cite slide risk The county may ask some property owners to acknowledge the possibility of a landslide before granting a permit as it does for volcano and tsunami risks. By Noah Haglund
Snohomish County makes you fill out a disclosure form acknowledging the risk. In addition to the Glacier Peak hazard areas, the county requires a disclosure form to build within 200 feet of tsunami danger.

EVERETT — Before you can build a house in the potential path of destruction from the region’s most active volcano,
The County Council is talking seriously now about a similar rule for landslide threats. How that idea takes shape remains to be seen. It’s the easiest to implement of the suggestions that have surfaced since elected leaders started looking into improving county building rules following the catastrophic Oso mudslide. “This form would advise
applicants that they are building within a landslide-hazard area or its setbacks,” planning director Clay White told council members last week. The county also is looking for ways to let people know about any existing geological reports performed on their property and on file with the planning department. The county hopes to make those documents available

online, White said. The March 22 mudslide has stirred up a policy debate over the county’s duty to inform and protect people from natural disasters. The slide sent 10 million cubic yards of dirt and debris cascading over a square mile. As of last See PERMITS, back page, this section

EVERETT — Each banner represented a family. A sacrifice. A loss. About 75 people gathered late Monday morning for a Memorial Day ceremony at Evergreen Cemetery on Broadway in Everett. The rain broke just in time, as veterans, spouses, children and grandchildren came together to remember and honor those lost. The event was organized by

The walkway was lined with banners, each holding the photo and name of a man or woman from Washington or who was stationed here when they died. The banners are presented in up to a half-dozen local parades a year, said Nancy Wolke, the
Sweet and sour Leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth: The makers of the liquid nicotine used in e-cigarettes are being criticized for using the brand names of Tootsie Rolls, Thin Mints and other sweets, to name the flavors used in e-cigs. The candy makers are upset about trademark infringement, and health officials are certain the flavors and
names make them easier to market to kids (Page A7). That’s nonsense. If the tobacco companies wanted to market e-cigs to children, they’d use cute cartoon characters, like a camel, or classic heroes, like a cowboy, to influence kids.

Girl Scout troops from Everett, Mukilteo, Redmond and Kirkland helped to hold up the banners and distribute red, white and blue flower arrangements. The annual ceremony is meant in part to remind folks in the military that they’re

Before the ceremony, Juan Orona was thinking about his brother, Tony, who was 54 when he took his own life, decades after serving overseas. Memorial Day also is a time to remember those who served, not just those who died in combat, Juan Orona said. See SALUTE, back page, this section

OSO — It took more than 60 days — nearly 1,500 hours — to bring Steven Hadaway home. And his family is forever grateful. John Hadaway learned Friday that the body found the day before in the Oso debris fields was his brother. On a rainy Saturday morning, Hadaway met with a Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy in an Everett parking lot. The two had talked by phone many times before and finally met. The deputy handed him his brother’s wedding ring. John Hadaway hugged and thanked him. He then drove to Darrington to give it to his sister-in-law, Margaret Hadaway. “It meant a ton to her,” he said. Steven and Margaret Hadaway were married for more than 30 years. Hadaway is the 42nd confirmed death from the March 22 mudslide that wiped out the Steelhead Haven neighborhood and buried Highway 530. That leaves one person reported missing: Kris Regelbrugge, 44. The body of her husband, John Regelbrugge III, 49, an active-duty Navy commander, previously had been found. In school, 42 out of 43 would
