EVERETT — The oil-drilling ship Noble Discoverer entered Puget Sound on Tuesday and arrived at dinnertime at the Port of Everett, where it is to be parked for an undisclosed period before proceeding to Seattle. Ten protesters in kayaks greeted the Discoverer’s arrival here but kept their distance as the big ship entered Port Gardner around 5:30 p.m., sailed to the East Waterway and docked at a Port of Everett pier.

175-foot-tall oil derrick. In Seattle, it is to join a fleet which Royal Dutch Shell is assembling for exploratory drilling in Alaska this summer. After the ship was docked, the kayakers ventured closer and unfurled two banners for the benefit of journalists in a Greenpeace inflatable motorboat: “ShellNo.org” and “Arctic drilling = climate chaos.” “Shell no!” is the rallying cry of protesters this week as the oil company’s fleet — and protesters — gather on Puget Sound.

GETCHELL — It didn’t take long. Less than two weeks after getting training, a Snohomish County Sheriff ’s deputy brought a woman who’d overdosed on heroin back from the edge of death. Deputy Jacob Navarro administered a nasal spray version of naloxone when he was called to a home in the 6500 block of 117th Avenue NE north of Lake Stevens. The woman in her 30s had faint breathing and appeared to be turning blue when the deputy arrived around 3:50 a.m. Friday, sheriff ’s office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. Minutes after getting the spray, the woman was conscious and her breathing was restored. Navarro learned how to give naloxone April 27. He was among dozens of law enforcement officers across the county to get training in the use of the prescription medication, better known as Narcan. It also can be given by injection, but police won’t be working with needles. The idea is to save lives. “I really think by year’s end the tally will be substantial,” said Dr. Adam Kartman, who trained local police. “I’m delighted that the law enforcement authorities in Snohomish County have stepped forward and volunteered to take this on.” Fire departments have been using Narcan for years. In 2014, paramedics with the Everett Fire Department used Narcan on 153 patients, all by needle. It is effective, said Timothy Key, chief of the department’s emergency medical services division. The vast majority of cases involved patients with significant breathing problems as a result of drug overdose. “Their respiratory rate was not enough to sustain keeping them alive,” Key said. “In all those cases the Narcan administration reversed the effects of the opiate.” Narcan is used on people who have overdosed on heroin or
