NATIONAL NIGHT OUT- Providence Intervention Center for Assault and Abuse

Earlier this month local communities and police in Snohomish County, and across the nation, came together to talk and to strengthen their resolve in the fight against crime. In Snohomish County some neighbors and Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office deputies took time to get to know each other at neighborhood BBQ’s and gatherings. The county also hosted a NNO get together at Willis Tucker Park with many organizations in attendance including the Sheriff’s Office, local fire districts, PUD, Community Transit, Snohomish County 911, and a variety of volunteer organizations that provide services to the public.

This is the third in the series about organizations that offer help to the public.
