Habitat for Humanity of Snohomish County volunteers (l to r) Garrett Dempsey, John Schlatter, John Brinkmeyer and Len King raise a panel of a house they are helping frame as part of the Hurricane Katrina recovery effort. When complete, the framed house will be dismantled and shipped to Louisiana.

Habitat for Humanity of Snohomish County is using 32,000-square-feet of space in a King-County owned warehouse on the proposed Route 9 Brightwater site.

Some Brightwater staff offices are located in the warehouse, but Habitat Snohomish is allowed to use vacant space until the building is demolished for the planned treatment-plant.

The Duvall Cultural Commission is a proud participant in 4Culture’s SITE-SPECIFIC/2006 King County Performance Network. This series of art happenings takes art out of the theaters, museums and galleries, and integrates it into the daily life, work and play of King County residents.
