Welcome to Arlington
Arlington Mayor
Dear friends, Each year, the community of Arlington anticipates the celebrations and festivities during the month of July. As Mayor, I would like to personally invite you to celebrate the Fourth of July with me in Arlington. This fun-filled day is a kickoff to many more summer events, including the Fly-In and Street Fair, and free outdoor entertainment in our parks. The list of activities during the Fourth is immense. It always amazes me how many volunteers and community groups spend their holidays hosting the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon, the pancake breakfast, the Kiwanis Auction, the activities at Legion Park, the parades, the Duck Dash and the fireworks display. We expect this year to be even more exciting than most, since the Arlington Rotary is hosting their 25th anniversary of the Duck Dash, and striving to raise funds for a new playground at Haller Park. The Chamber of Commerce has added to the festivities with an “Old-Fashioned Fourth” event, with carnival games, fair food and other activities at Legion Park, giv-

The world’s finest aerobatic performers are scheduled, along with daily air shows. “Kids Day” is that Thursday, and the Fly-In concludes on Saturday, July 13, with a special “Night Pyrotechnics Air Show.” The annual Downtown Street Fair runs that Friday through Sunday, and is sure to be a lively event with lots of great vendors and entertainment.

Firefighters cook up pancake breakfast
F
or five dollars and an early morning start, Arlington residents can have a hot breakfast, courtesy of local firefighters. The Arlington Firefighters Association is hosting its annual Pancake Breakfast at Haller Park to kick off the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration. Breakfast begins at 7 a.m. and runs until 11 a.m. “We have two breakfast options. There’s pancakes, eggs and sausage, or pancakes, strawberries and sausage,” said Branden Bates, assistant fire chief. The pancake breakfast is in its 30th year, and has been serving plates for $5 each for as long as Bates can remember. “It’s fun for a lot of people who can come every year,” Bates said. “I think it’s important to build that sense of community, where people identify with and support their local fire department,” said Rick Isler, fire chief. “The pancake breakfast is the main source of funding for the Arlington Firefighters Association, and it’s great when local people can directly help support local firefighters.” The proceeds from the pancake breakfast go back into the Association’s fund, to use for expenses throughout the year, including repairs and equipment. “In the past, we’ve purchased supplies for the district, and have spon-
sored local folks in need during the holidays with Christmas presents and meals,” said Isler. “We’ve also used the funds from the breakfast to purchase the Jaws of Life. A lot of last year’s funds went into the rebuilding of our pancake truck.” Last year, the breakfast saw more than 1,000 locals dining on the hot pancake options. A tent nearby will host the Kiwanis Club’s annual Fourth of July auction, to raise money for scholarships for local seniors at the Arlington and Lakewood high schools, while participants in the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon can show up early and stock up on carbohydrates before their race, which will take off from Haller Park at 10 a.m. Above: Members of the Arlington Heights Fire Department distribute freshly made pancakes hot off the griddle to a crowd at last year’s Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast. Right: Children grin with excitement over the sweet topping options.

Fourth of July kicks off with Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon
T
his year's Arlington Fourth of July celebration kicks off with a heavy workout. The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon, with a start and finish at Haller Park. "The route is the same this year as it has been for most years. Last year, we had to change the route for safety reasons, so I'm hoping that it will be back to normal," said event organizer Rob Putnam. In 2012, high waters prevented the paddling leg of the triathlon from taking place on the Stillaguamish River, so an impromptu route change directed kayakers to the waters of Lake Armstrong. Registration begins at 8 a.m. on July 4, and the triathlon begins at 10 a.m. "This is a small triathlon, and it gives people who may be intimidated by a full triathlon an opportunity to get into open water," said Putnam. "Plus, it's part of the Fourth of July tradition, a family tradi-
tion. You come down to Haller Park, eat a pancake breakfast and cheer on whoever is racing." The bikers leave from Haller Park and ride 5.8 miles along State Route 530 to Jordan Road and the Jordan River Trail Park boat launch. From there, competitors hop into their kayaks or canoes to row six miles down the Stillaguamish River back to Haller Park. After that, the runners take off to race for one mile down Centennial Trail and back to the finish line. The total distance is 15.8 miles. "It's like a mini-triathlon," said Putnam. The race hosts five categories: Family, Local, Open, Iron Woman and Iron Man. "The Iron Man and Iron Woman racers compete in all three legs," said Putnam. Those who register in the other categories can tap hands with other racers if they choose to compete in only one leg of the race. Most people who compete do not preregister, although registering before the
Cyclists take off from the starting line at Haller Park in the annual Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon. After completing their segment of the course, cyclists can tag in rowers, who upon completion of their segment can tag in runners during the triathlon on the morning of July 4. Brave souls who wish to complete in all three legs of the race can enter under the Iron Man and Iron Woman categories.
day of the race is an option. Rules, regulations and registration forms can be retrieved from the city of Arlington website at www.arlingtonwa.gov. "It's hard to say how many people will compete," said Putnam. "The most I've ever had preregister is two." Participants must meet all criteria under rules and regulations in order to win prizes and awards. Cash prizes will be awarded to the first-place winner in
each division. Individual entry fees are $30 and team fees are $60. Safety is enforced by the Arlington Heights and city of Arlington fire departments during the water leg of the triathlon. The Arlington Police Department will assist in blocking off a portion of the road for the cycling leg of the race. Children are encouraged to participate; however, anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent.

T
he unpleasant downpour of rain during the 3rd and 4th was no doubt beneficial in many ways but it unquestionably did much to dampen the ardor of haymakers and celebrators. It made outdoor festivities and decorations simply out of the question and kept at home probably two-thirds of those who had intended to attend the celebration. Arlington, of course, fared no better than other places in this particular. Nevertheless the program, excepting outdoors sports, was well carried out. But one thing was seriously regretted and that was the failure to have a brass band present, due to the sickness of the leader of the organization which had been engaged.

‘Old-Fashioned Fourth’ returns to downtown Arlington

Traditional children’s games such as knocking down pins with balls will be among the free activities at this year’s ‘Old-Fashioned Fourth’ in Legion Park.
Ernst,” Harmon said of the 5-year-old Arlington girl in need of a heart transplant. “The Chamber will be raffling off two Seahawks footballs on her behalf, and Arlington volunteer firefighters will be taking donations for her, in exchange for hamburgers.” The Lions Club of Arlington will also be fundraising for hearing aids and eyeglasses, by selling fresh slices of apple pie. Harmon added that the Chamber is also hoping to get two Huskies football players in Legion Park for at least one of the event’s four hours, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. “Our special thanks to the city of Arlington, who’s the most wonderful partner in putting on these events on,” Harmon said. “Months of planning go into these events, and the city is extremely helpful and generous.”

fter its successful debut last year, the “Old-Fashioned Fourth” will be making its return to downtown Arlington on Thursday, July 4, albeit with a whole host of new features and activities. Last year’s event saw the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce bringing in half a dozen food vendors to serve the public during a day when all of the restaurants and other businesses along Olympic Avenue are closed. This year’s “Old-Fashioned Fourth” will add to the carnival food, face-painting and games of last year, by making Legion Park the site of a full-blown “Kids Carnival” from noon to 4 p.m., to give the Kiddies Parade enough time to get started at 4:30 p.m. Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Chamber, explained that the free games for children will include traditional activities such as knocking down pins with balls, throwing darts at balloons, ping-pong, ring-tossing, “Go Fish” and more. Bouncy houses and pony rides will also be available, and free magician shows will kick off at 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. at the Legion Park gazebo. The Chamber will be selling Fourth of July T-shirts, balloons, candy and pinwheels at the gazebo, where a number of raffles are also set to take place. “One raffle will be to raise funds for the Chamber, and two will be for Lacey

Arlington Kiwanis Club raises money for scholarships year, we've sent out letters to businesses that don't have products, like dentists or law offices, who are still interested in donating. So far, we have been very successful. The auction will include a whole myriad of different things." Each year, an American flag flies over the U.S. Capitol in honor of a local citizen, upon the request of Arlington native and U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, and each year, it is put up for bid at the Kiwanis auctions. The flag also comes with an authentication certificate, and the winning bidder chooses who it flies to honor. Arlington Kiwanis auctions have been a part of the July 4 celebrations in Arlington for more than 15 years. They started across the street from the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce, back when its offices were located near Legion Park. Now, the venue is Haller Park, which is also the site of the Arlington Firefighters Association Pancake Breakfast, and the start of the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon.

here was an unwanted quiet in Arlington on the 4th of July. In place of the usual organized parade there was a procession of cars, all headed toward the Naval Air Station where the gate was open and the companionway let down; it was a day of “open house” for the public — a chance for John Citizen to see what this naval installation is doing with the funds provided by Congress in preparing for defense and attack. Instead of log-bucking we saw intricate radial engines being tuned; instead of the “balloon ascension and parachute jump” we craned our necks to watch F6F “Hellcats” in varied formations streaking high in the blue at 400 miles an hour, while the more sedate TBM’s (torpedo bombers) maneuvered in beautiful formations nearer the earth. Among the larger ships seen on the ramp and in the air was a P.B.Y. patrol bomber and a B-26 two-engined medium bomber designated J-M by the Navy and used as a utility plane.

he Arlington Kiwanis Club is set to conduct its annual Fourth of July auction at Haller Park to support local high school students through Dollars for Scholars. The event includes two silent auctions — one at 8:30 a.m. and another at 9:30 a.m. — as well as a live auction set for 10:30 a.m. The Arlington Kiwanis Club added an early silent auction to the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration three years ago. "The funds that we raise from this auction go to our Dollars for Scholars fund, and out of that fund we've awarded four $2,000 scholarships to local graduating seniors to help pay for college. We award three scholarships to graduates at Arlington High School, and one scholarship to a graduate of Lakewood High School," said Jim Rankin, president of the Arlington Kiwanis Club. Auction items include antique furniture, gift baskets, tickets, products and gift certificates from local businesses, and more. "This year, we are having two different sources of donations," said Rankin. "Ordinarily, local businesses donate something for us to auction off, but this

AHS basketball coaches Brown, Marsh named this year’s Grand Marshals
B
oth Nick Brown and Joe Marsh were quick to share credit for the achievements that earned them the shared title of this year's Grand Marshals for Arlington's Fourth of July celebrations. Brown and Marsh coach the Arlington High School boys and girls varsity basketball teams, respectively, both of which made it to state this year, with the Arlington girls coming in second and the Arlington boys coming in fifth. "I'm just a representative for my team," Brown said. "I was able to help lead a special group of kids who came together as a good team and represented Arlington really well." "It's not just that our teams succeeded, but that they helped bring this community together behind them," Marsh said. Just as Marsh took time to make sure his girls understood how special their moment in the sun was, and how many years had led up to it, so too did Brown see this year's boys as a unique group whose assemblage he compared to capturing lightning in a bottle. "We were recognized by other Washington teams as a really tight-knit community, which I think comes from having a small town with a big heart,"
Brown said. "I've appreciated our team dynamic," Marsh said. "We're like a family, and that's how we got as far as we did. These are really talented kids who bought into what we were doing right away, thanks to some great messaging from our seniors." Marsh praised his girls for their hard work and commitment, while Brown simply asks that his boys compete, improve on a daily basis — not only as players, but also as students and human beings — and derive joy from their experiences. "To me, that's what it means to play for fun," Brown said. "I used to be more old-school about it, but over the years, I've seen these kids have a lot more success this way. My goal is to build on those prior successes, which is why I keep photos of my past teams all around me. Our successes should be a springboard, not a hammock." Looking ahead to the duties of their newly bestowed joint title, both men responded with humor and humility. "I've gotten a lot of advice about how to do my parade wave, but everyone's advice has been different," laughed Marsh, who's been attending Fourth of July parades in Arlington since 1978. "I
never expected to be in one, though, and I told them that I wasn't sure I was Grand Marshal material." "I joked that it must have been a down year for them if they chose me as one of the Grand Marshals, but I do appreciate it," Brown said. "Not many people get to experience this, and when I think of my friend Howard Christianson, who rides in the parades with his fellow veterans, I feel proud and humbled to be in his presence." Both men thanked not only their student Arlington High School Girls Varsity Basketball Coach Joe athletes, but also their Marsh and Boys Varsity Basketball Coach Nick Brown have coaching staffs and other been named this year’s Grand Marshals for Arlington’s colleagues, as well as Fourth of July celebrations. their families and friends, for providing consistent and I hope I can do a good enough job support throughout the years. to deserve that," Brown said.

s forecast, this year’s 4th of July celebration sponsored by the Arlington Junior Chamber of Commerce proved to be the biggest and best ever. Scores of people turned out for the many activities scheduled during the four-day event, with the largest crowd attending the Grand Parade at 6:30 p.m., Friday. It has been estimated that some 15,000 to 20,000 people lined Arlington’s streets for the evening parade. Clear skies and warm weather added to the enjoyment at Friday’s events, which included a community worship service at 9 a.m., a junior parade at 1 p.m., children’s game sessions at 2 p.m., the Grand Parade, a water fight started on Olympic Avenue by Arlington firemen, and a spectacular fireworks display at Hallock Field at 9:30 p.m.

Kiddies Parade gives creative, patriotic youth opportunity to shine
T
he boys and girls of Arlington will have yet another opportunity to upstage their elders this Fourth of July. The Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics are again working with the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce to present the annual Independence Day Kiddies Parade for Arlington on Thursday, July 4, which gives kids 12 years and younger the chance to wave to cheering crowds along Olympic Avenue. Kiddies Parades in years past have attracted more than 100 young entrants each, and Chamber Past President Heather Logan wouldn't be surprised to see this year's Kiddies Parade match that participation level, especially given the numbers of last-minute entries that both the Kiddies and Grand parades routinely attract. Jennifer Egger, who works with Logan at Cascade Valley Hospital, is coordinating the lion's share of both parades again this year, and attendees and participants alike can expect the same sign-up times and categories of entries as in the event's previous years. The three themes that have featured most often from year to year are "Costumes," "Patriotic" and "Wheels." In years past, kids have

decorated their bikes, donned creative costumes, and marched or rode down the parade path. Registration for the Kiddies Parade will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District building, located at 210 Division St., before the parade lines up and proceeds southbound on Olympic Avenue starting at 4:30 p.m., with just enough time for prizes to be awarded that the Grand Parade can follow starting at 5 p.m. As many as 50 volunteers are anticipated to be on site to coordinate registration, judge entrants and supervise the order in which participants will make their procession through downtown Arlington. Printable copies of registration forms can be downloaded off the Cascade Valley Hospital website at www.cascadevalley.org. Logan also recommends that prospective entrants call Egger at 360-618-7848, or stop by the reception desk of Cascade Valley Hospital to register.

Grand Parade rolls through town with style
M
arching bands, football teams and dance squads have all participated in Arlington’s Fourth of July Grand Parade in years past. Event organizers expect this year’s Independence Day Grand Parade will offer much the same eclectic collection of entrants who are scheduled to begin their jaunt down Olympic Avenue beginning at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 4. Heather Logan, past president of the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce, noted that the Chamber is again coordinating with Cascade Valley Hospital to stage both the Grand Parade and the Kiddies Parade immediately preceding it. Jennifer Egger, with whom Logan works at Cascade Valley Hospital, has taken the lead in putting together both parades, and is excited that this year’s Grand Parade will again feature some of the event’s most reliable attendees. “The Mission Pipe Band originally formed in 1962 as a Royal Canadian Legion band. Its connection with Arlington goes

It hasn’t missed an event since,” said Barry Johnston of the Mission Pipe band. Another set of honored guests at this year’s Grand Parade will be its Grand Marshals, Arlington High School Girls Varsity Basketball Coach Joe Marsh and Boys Varsity
Basketball Coach Nick Brown, both of whom saw their teams make it to state this year. As for the more than 100 other entrants that each year’s Grand Parade usually attracts, Logan believes that the more creative a given entrant is, the more strongly and fondly they will be remembered. “The crowd loves a

is definitely more,” she laughed. Logan noted that the small-town feel for which Arlington is praised by a number of residents and visitors alike is balanced by the diversity of participants and attendees that events such as its Fourth of July parades attract. “You see a good mix of old friends and new faces at the Grand Parade,” Logan said. “It’s always great fun.” Registration for the Grand Parade runs from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District building, located at 210 Division St. Entrants cannot participate if they aren’t

Duck Dash celebrates 25th anniversary
A
lthough much has changed in the Arlington community over the last 25 years — with new shopping centers, schools, neighborhoods and more — there is one thing that's remained constant since it began in 1987 — the Great Stilly Duck Dash. "It's our 25th anniversary, which is a big deal, so we are doing a lot more this year," said Cindy Huleatt, the Rotary Club of Arlington's 2013 Duck Dash Chair. The Duck Dash began in 1987 as an idea for the Rotary Club to raise funds for the building of a community youth center that would later hold the Arlington Boys & Girls Club. Participants purchase tickets, and the ticket number corresponds with the number on one of thousands of little rubber ducks that Rotary Club members launch into the Stillaguamish River from the Lincoln Bridge. The first duck to arrive at the finish line at Haller Park is given a first-place $5,000 prize, at least ordinarily. This year, they are doing things a little differently. "We've always had one $5,000
winner, a $2,000 winner and a $1,000 winner," said Huleatt. "This year, we are giving out 25 $1,000 prizes." Twenty-five Duck Dash participants will win $1,000 each. "We are hopefully going to sell more tickets, but it's also a 'thank you' to the community for buying tickets every year," said Huleatt. The Rotary Club raises funds annually to support community programs for children, seniors and more. "We usually give around $65,000 back to community seniors, the Boys & Girls Club, Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts — you name it," said Huleatt. "We wanted to try something extra-special for our anniversary, so we are going to build a children's playground at Haller Park. That's what we are doing to celebrate, and as a 'thank you' to the community for 25 years of support." Huleatt noted that the funds for the new playground at Haller Park will be in addition to the money that Rotary normally raises for local charities or seniors.
"We want to raise in addition to what we always give back, as a new piece this year," she said, noting that, although the Rotary Club has planned for special projects in the past, it has not been as extensive as this anniversary celebration. As a way to help provide the prize money, the Duck Dash was able to double its sponsorship this year. "We have had a great response toward the building of the playground. We have our first-ever platinum sponsor this year — Dwayne Lane's Rotary Club members don duck costumes for the annual Great Stilly Duck Dash on Arlington Chevrolet. July 4 of each year to raise money for local community organizations. They are our $10,000 sponsor. We have two gold sponsors, many silver and p.m., and we’ll have hot dogs dash.com. bronze sponsors, as well as and train rides and a bouncy Huleatt has no doubts in her T-shirt and coupon sponsors,” house. It will be a lot of fun." mind that Arlington will rise to said Huleatt. Tickets can be purchased the occasion. "We will dump the ducks in at the Arlington Pharmacy, or "This community has stepped the river at 7:30 p.m. at Haller at Haller Park after the Grand up every time we have done a Park," added Huleatt. "We will Parade. For more information, project like this," she said. "It's also have live music from 6-9 log onto www.greatstillyducktruly amazing."

Fireworks draw large, enthusiastic crowds to Quake Park can set up their chairs and watch,” Logan said. “It’s just a perfect way to end a fabulous day of Fourth of July activities.” Logan has received feedback from a number of attendees of the Arlington fireworks show, indicating that it’s one of their favorite Fourth of July fireworks displays of anywhere that they’ve attended. “I’d heard from a lot of folks who like that it’s closer to where they live, and easier to find parking than in Seattle or even Everett,” Logan said. “It’s the crown jewel in our day-long celebration of America. Nobody does America better than Arlington,” she laughed.

The Chamber will continue its grand celebration this year with its new partners, Entertainment Fireworks Inc., who will be setting off thousands of dollars worth of pyrotechnics into the skies above the Arlington Boys & Girls Club on Thursday, July 4. “We are so excited to have this brand new show for our community,” said Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Chamber. “The pyrotechnics display is expected to be the best fireworks show in Arlington in years.” According to Chamber Past President Heather Logan, the bright lights and loud explosions will kick off at around 9 p.m. at Bill Quake Memorial Park, just after dark. She estimates that it will last approximately 20-30 minutes in front of what should be a sizable crowd. “We usually get several hundred people parked in the lots and on the sides of the surrounding streets, so they

people at the Fly-In,” said Leslee Graves, who’s served as one of the youth volunteer leaders for the Fly-In. “When you talk to the veterans and old pilots, they have so much knowledge and wisdom to share. I knew nothing about airplanes when I first started volunteering here. It’s been a really cool experience to learn about all the work that goes into the aircraft, and the Warbirds and other artifacts are great too.” On Friday, July 12, “Vintage Day” will showcase 1920s and ‘30s era aircraft, including displays by North Cascades Vintage Aero Museum in the red barn, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., while a “Hot Air Balloon Night Glow” is set to kick off at 9:30 p.m. “That’s absolutely fantastic for the whole family,” said Janie Brown, who served as manager of aircraft registration for last year’s Fly-In. “It’s really neat to watch them light up.” On Saturday, July 13, the Fly-In Car Show will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., featuring planes, tractors and automobiles, the latter including antiques, classics and hot rods. The aircraft judging awards will be presented at 5:15 p.m.
and followed by a live performance by the Mukilteo Outrageous Jazz Orchestra at 7 p.m. Live tank demonstrations are set to take place on Friday, July 12, and Saturday, July 13, and the Fly-In’s multitude of events will conclude with the “Night Pyrotechnics Air Show” on the evening of Saturday, July 13. Event organizers encourage attendees to arrive before 8 p.m. to pick up their tickets. Shuttles will run between the Arlington Airport and downtown Arlington from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 12, and Saturday, July 13. Whether attendees arrive by land or by air, the Arlington Airport has set aside a camping area for campers and trailers, complete with showers and restrooms, so that they can simply stay on site from Thursday, July 11, through their departures on Saturday, July 13. “I wish I’d started going to the Fly-In sooner,” Graves said. “It offers so many opportunities.” For more information, visit the Arlington Fly-In website at www.arlingtonflyin.org.

We are trying to build it back up to be a hometown event.” On Saturday, July 13, the Street Fair will feature its annual “Arlington Idol” contest, with the winner of the talent show taking home a $100 prize.

pproximately 8,000 people turned out for the all-day air show sponsored by the Washington Pilot’s Association at Arlington Airport. The pancake and ham breakfast served from 7 a.m. to noon was a sell-out as was the strawberry shortcake sold later in the day. Blankets and beach chairs were much in evidence as spectators viewed water-balloon bombing, sky divers, precision formations, model airplane exhibitions, aerobatics and other high-flying capers. Shielding their eyes from the glaring sunlight, spectators visited displays of experimental and antique aircraft as well as promotional and dealer aircraft. The assorted concession stands also enjoyed a good business.
im Scott, manager of the 1990 EAA Fly-In, was one happy man Monday morning. The fiveday event proved to be the most successful ever and the most pleasant for all those concerned, as far as the weather was concerned. “We really turned the corner this year,” he said. “It was a great year — everything went well.” There were more planes on display this year than ever before, they ran out of tickets for the Saturday air show — sold out all that had been printed for that day, the skies seemed bluer and the smiles were wider; concessionaires had a great week; campers were able to relax and enjoy our beautiful Pacific Northwest; merchants were pleased with the additional business; all was well with the world.

ircraft of every type and description gathered at the Arlington Airport for the 16th Annual Northwest Experimental Aircraft Association Fly-In last weekend. Though Fly-In participants who flew in to Arlington’s celebration were counted among those who would rather take wing than take their next breath, much of the non-flying public enjoyed the weekend of events aeronautical. There were more than 600 planes lined out along the airport’s northern runway, planes sleek and elegant, and planes that appeared to have all the aerodynamics of a large rock.
either the sweltering summer sun nor the occasional drenching downpour could keep the estimated 50,000 attendees away from the 37th annual Arlington Northwest Experimental Aircraft Association Fly-In at the Arlington Airport. The five-day event featured more than 1,000 recreational aircraft, either on display on 116 acres of the airport’s grounds or in flight in the skies above, and the attractions on hand at the Fly-In varied almost as much as the attendees’ reasons for stopping by, many of them from far beyond Arlington itself, and nearly 1,600 of whom camped out on the grounds.

Welcome to Arlington
Arlington Mayor
Dear friends, Each year, the community of Arlington anticipates the celebrations and festivities during the month of July. As Mayor, I would like to personally invite you to celebrate the Fourth of July with me in Arlington. This fun-filled day is a kickoff to many more summer events, including the Fly-In and Street Fair, and free outdoor entertainment in our parks. The list of activities during the Fourth is immense. It always amazes me how many volunteers and community groups spend their holidays hosting the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon, the pancake breakfast, the Kiwanis Auction, the activities at Legion Park, the parades, the Duck Dash and the fireworks display. We expect this year to be even more exciting than most, since the Arlington Rotary is hosting their 25th anniversary of the Duck Dash, and striving to raise funds for a new playground at Haller Park. The Chamber of Commerce has added to the festivities with an “Old-Fashioned Fourth” event, with carnival games, fair food and other activities at Legion Park, giv-

It is a great day to visit with friends old and new, discovering what makes Arlington such a special place.

The world’s finest aerobatic performers are scheduled, along with daily air shows. “Kids Day” is that Thursday, and the Fly-In concludes on Saturday, July 13, with a special “Night Pyrotechnics Air Show.” The annual Downtown Street Fair runs that Friday through Sunday, and is sure to be a lively event with lots of great vendors and entertainment. Be sure to check the city’s website for many more summer events, including outdoor movies, concerts and plays. You can also sign up for our weekly e-newsletter. Just email info@arlingtonwa.gov.

Firefighters cook up pancake breakfast
F
or five dollars and an early morning start, Arlington residents can have a hot breakfast, courtesy of local firefighters. The Arlington Firefighters Association is hosting its annual Pancake Breakfast at Haller Park to kick off the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration. Breakfast begins at 7 a.m. and runs until 11 a.m. “We have two breakfast options. There’s pancakes, eggs and sausage, or pancakes, strawberries and sausage,” said Branden Bates, assistant fire chief. The pancake breakfast is in its 30th year, and has been serving plates for $5 each for as long as Bates can remember. “It’s fun for a lot of people who can come every year,” Bates said. “I think it’s important to build that sense of community, where people identify with and support their local fire department,” said Rick Isler, fire chief. “The pancake breakfast is the main source of funding for the Arlington Firefighters Association, and it’s great when local people can directly help support local firefighters.” The proceeds from the pancake breakfast go back into the Association’s fund, to use for expenses throughout the year, including repairs and equipment. “In the past, we’ve purchased supplies for the district, and have spon-
sored local folks in need during the holidays with Christmas presents and meals,” said Isler. “We’ve also used the funds from the breakfast to purchase the Jaws of Life. A lot of last year’s funds went into the rebuilding of our pancake truck.” Last year, the breakfast saw more than 1,000 locals dining on the hot pancake options. A tent nearby will host the Kiwanis Club’s annual Fourth of July auction, to raise money for scholarships for local seniors at the Arlington and Lakewood high schools, while participants in the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon can show up early and stock up on carbohydrates before their race, which will take off from Haller Park at 10 a.m. Above: Members of the Arlington Heights Fire Department distribute freshly made pancakes hot off the griddle to a crowd at last year’s Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast. Right: Children grin with excitement over the sweet topping options.

Fourth of July kicks off with Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon
T
his year's Arlington Fourth of July celebration kicks off with a heavy workout. The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon, with a start and finish at Haller Park. "The route is the same this year as it has been for most years. Last year, we had to change the route for safety reasons, so I'm hoping that it will be back to normal," said event organizer Rob Putnam. In 2012, high waters prevented the paddling leg of the triathlon from taking place on the Stillaguamish River, so an impromptu route change directed kayakers to the waters of Lake Armstrong. Registration begins at 8 a.m. on July 4, and the triathlon begins at 10 a.m. "This is a small triathlon, and it gives people who may be intimidated by a full triathlon an opportunity to get into open water," said Putnam. "Plus, it's part of the Fourth of July tradition, a family tradi-
tion. You come down to Haller Park, eat a pancake breakfast and cheer on whoever is racing." The bikers leave from Haller Park and ride 5.8 miles along State Route 530 to Jordan Road and the Jordan River Trail Park boat launch. From there, competitors hop into their kayaks or canoes to row six miles down the Stillaguamish River back to Haller Park. After that, the runners take off to race for one mile down Centennial Trail and back to the finish line. The total distance is 15.8 miles. "It's like a mini-triathlon," said Putnam. The race hosts five categories: Family, Local, Open, Iron Woman and Iron Man. "The Iron Man and Iron Woman racers compete in all three legs," said Putnam. Those who register in the other categories can tap hands with other racers if they choose to compete in only one leg of the race. Most people who compete do not preregister, although registering before the
Cyclists take off from the starting line at Haller Park in the annual Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon. After completing their segment of the course, cyclists can tag in rowers, who upon completion of their segment can tag in runners during the triathlon on the morning of July 4. Brave souls who wish to complete in all three legs of the race can enter under the Iron Man and Iron Woman categories.
day of the race is an option. Rules, regulations and registration forms can be retrieved from the city of Arlington website at www.arlingtonwa.gov. "It's hard to say how many people will compete," said Putnam. "The most I've ever had preregister is two." Participants must meet all criteria under rules and regulations in order to win prizes and awards. Cash prizes will be awarded to the first-place winner in
each division. Individual entry fees are $30 and team fees are $60. Safety is enforced by the Arlington Heights and city of Arlington fire departments during the water leg of the triathlon. The Arlington Police Department will assist in blocking off a portion of the road for the cycling leg of the race. Children are encouraged to participate; however, anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent.

T
he unpleasant downpour of rain during the 3rd and 4th was no doubt beneficial in many ways but it unquestionably did much to dampen the ardor of haymakers and celebrators. It made outdoor festivities and decorations simply out of the question and kept at home probably two-thirds of those who had intended to attend the celebration. Arlington, of course, fared no better than other places in this particular. Nevertheless the program, excepting outdoors sports, was well carried out. But one thing was seriously regretted and that was the failure to have a brass band present, due to the sickness of the leader of the organization which had been engaged.

‘Old-Fashioned Fourth’ returns to downtown Arlington

Traditional children’s games such as knocking down pins with balls will be among the free activities at this year’s ‘Old-Fashioned Fourth’ in Legion Park.
Ernst,” Harmon said of the 5-year-old Arlington girl in need of a heart transplant. “The Chamber will be raffling off two Seahawks footballs on her behalf, and Arlington volunteer firefighters will be taking donations for her, in exchange for hamburgers.” The Lions Club of Arlington will also be fundraising for hearing aids and eyeglasses, by selling fresh slices of apple pie. Harmon added that the Chamber is also hoping to get two Huskies football players in Legion Park for at least one of the event’s four hours, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. “Our special thanks to the city of Arlington, who’s the most wonderful partner in putting on these events on,” Harmon said. “Months of planning go into these events, and the city is extremely helpful and generous.”

fter its successful debut last year, the “Old-Fashioned Fourth” will be making its return to downtown Arlington on Thursday, July 4, albeit with a whole host of new features and activities. Last year’s event saw the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce bringing in half a dozen food vendors to serve the public during a day when all of the restaurants and other businesses along Olympic Avenue are closed. This year’s “Old-Fashioned Fourth” will add to the carnival food, face-painting and games of last year, by making Legion Park the site of a full-blown “Kids Carnival” from noon to 4 p.m., to give the Kiddies Parade enough time to get started at 4:30 p.m. Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Chamber, explained that the free games for children will include traditional activities such as knocking down pins with balls, throwing darts at balloons, ping-pong, ring-tossing, “Go Fish” and more. Bouncy houses and pony rides will also be available, and free magician shows will kick off at 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. at the Legion Park gazebo. The Chamber will be selling Fourth of July T-shirts, balloons, candy and pinwheels at the gazebo, where a number of raffles are also set to take place. “One raffle will be to raise funds for the Chamber, and two will be for Lacey

Arlington Kiwanis Club raises money for scholarships year, we've sent out letters to businesses that don't have products, like dentists or law offices, who are still interested in donating. So far, we have been very successful. The auction will include a whole myriad of different things." Each year, an American flag flies over the U.S. Capitol in honor of a local citizen, upon the request of Arlington native and U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, and each year, it is put up for bid at the Kiwanis auctions. The flag also comes with an authentication certificate, and the winning bidder chooses who it flies to honor. Arlington Kiwanis auctions have been a part of the July 4 celebrations in Arlington for more than 15 years. They started across the street from the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce, back when its offices were located near Legion Park. Now, the venue is Haller Park, which is also the site of the Arlington Firefighters Association Pancake Breakfast, and the start of the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon.

here was an unwanted quiet in Arlington on the 4th of July. In place of the usual organized parade there was a procession of cars, all headed toward the Naval Air Station where the gate was open and the companionway let down; it was a day of “open house” for the public — a chance for John Citizen to see what this naval installation is doing with the funds provided by Congress in preparing for defense and attack. Instead of log-bucking we saw intricate radial engines being tuned; instead of the “balloon ascension and parachute jump” we craned our necks to watch F6F “Hellcats” in varied formations streaking high in the blue at 400 miles an hour, while the more sedate TBM’s (torpedo bombers) maneuvered in beautiful formations nearer the earth. Among the larger ships seen on the ramp and in the air was a P.B.Y. patrol bomber and a B-26 two-engined medium bomber designated J-M by the Navy and used as a utility plane.

he Arlington Kiwanis Club is set to conduct its annual Fourth of July auction at Haller Park to support local high school students through Dollars for Scholars. The event includes two silent auctions — one at 8:30 a.m. and another at 9:30 a.m. — as well as a live auction set for 10:30 a.m. The Arlington Kiwanis Club added an early silent auction to the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration three years ago. "The funds that we raise from this auction go to our Dollars for Scholars fund, and out of that fund we've awarded four $2,000 scholarships to local graduating seniors to help pay for college. We award three scholarships to graduates at Arlington High School, and one scholarship to a graduate of Lakewood High School," said Jim Rankin, president of the Arlington Kiwanis Club. Auction items include antique furniture, gift baskets, tickets, products and gift certificates from local businesses, and more. "This year, we are having two different sources of donations," said Rankin. "Ordinarily, local businesses donate something for us to auction off, but this

AHS basketball coaches Brown, Marsh named this year’s Grand Marshals
B
oth Nick Brown and Joe Marsh were quick to share credit for the achievements that earned them the shared title of this year's Grand Marshals for Arlington's Fourth of July celebrations. Brown and Marsh coach the Arlington High School boys and girls varsity basketball teams, respectively, both of which made it to state this year, with the Arlington girls coming in second and the Arlington boys coming in fifth. "I'm just a representative for my team," Brown said. "I was able to help lead a special group of kids who came together as a good team and represented Arlington really well." "It's not just that our teams succeeded, but that they helped bring this community together behind them," Marsh said. Just as Marsh took time to make sure his girls understood how special their moment in the sun was, and how many years had led up to it, so too did Brown see this year's boys as a unique group whose assemblage he compared to capturing lightning in a bottle. "We were recognized by other Washington teams as a really tight-knit community, which I think comes from having a small town with a big heart,"
Brown said. "I've appreciated our team dynamic," Marsh said. "We're like a family, and that's how we got as far as we did. These are really talented kids who bought into what we were doing right away, thanks to some great messaging from our seniors." Marsh praised his girls for their hard work and commitment, while Brown simply asks that his boys compete, improve on a daily basis — not only as players, but also as students and human beings — and derive joy from their experiences. "To me, that's what it means to play for fun," Brown said. "I used to be more old-school about it, but over the years, I've seen these kids have a lot more success this way. My goal is to build on those prior successes, which is why I keep photos of my past teams all around me. Our successes should be a springboard, not a hammock." Looking ahead to the duties of their newly bestowed joint title, both men responded with humor and humility. "I've gotten a lot of advice about how to do my parade wave, but everyone's advice has been different," laughed Marsh, who's been attending Fourth of July parades in Arlington since 1978. "I
never expected to be in one, though, and I told them that I wasn't sure I was Grand Marshal material." "I joked that it must have been a down year for them if they chose me as one of the Grand Marshals, but I do appreciate it," Brown said. "Not many people get to experience this, and when I think of my friend Howard Christianson, who rides in the parades with his fellow veterans, I feel proud and humbled to be in his presence." Both men thanked not only their student Arlington High School Girls Varsity Basketball Coach Joe athletes, but also their Marsh and Boys Varsity Basketball Coach Nick Brown have coaching staffs and other been named this year’s Grand Marshals for Arlington’s colleagues, as well as Fourth of July celebrations. their families and friends, for providing consistent and I hope I can do a good enough job support throughout the years. to deserve that," Brown said.

s forecast, this year’s 4th of July celebration sponsored by the Arlington Junior Chamber of Commerce proved to be the biggest and best ever. Scores of people turned out for the many activities scheduled during the four-day event, with the largest crowd attending the Grand Parade at 6:30 p.m., Friday. It has been estimated that some 15,000 to 20,000 people lined Arlington’s streets for the evening parade. Clear skies and warm weather added to the enjoyment at Friday’s events, which included a community worship service at 9 a.m., a junior parade at 1 p.m., children’s game sessions at 2 p.m., the Grand Parade, a water fight started on Olympic Avenue by Arlington firemen, and a spectacular fireworks display at Hallock Field at 9:30 p.m.

Kiddies Parade gives creative, patriotic youth opportunity to shine
T
he boys and girls of Arlington will have yet another opportunity to upstage their elders this Fourth of July. The Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics are again working with the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce to present the annual Independence Day Kiddies Parade for Arlington on Thursday, July 4, which gives kids 12 years and younger the chance to wave to cheering crowds along Olympic Avenue. Kiddies Parades in years past have attracted more than 100 young entrants each, and Chamber Past President Heather Logan wouldn't be surprised to see this year's Kiddies Parade match that participation level, especially given the numbers of last-minute entries that both the Kiddies and Grand parades routinely attract. Jennifer Egger, who works with Logan at Cascade Valley Hospital, is coordinating the lion's share of both parades again this year, and attendees and participants alike can expect the same sign-up times and categories of entries as in the event's previous years. The three themes that have featured most often from year to year are "Costumes," "Patriotic" and "Wheels." In years past, kids have

decorated their bikes, donned creative costumes, and marched or rode down the parade path. Registration for the Kiddies Parade will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District building, located at 210 Division St., before the parade lines up and proceeds southbound on Olympic Avenue starting at 4:30 p.m., with just enough time for prizes to be awarded that the Grand Parade can follow starting at 5 p.m. As many as 50 volunteers are anticipated to be on site to coordinate registration, judge entrants and supervise the order in which participants will make their procession through downtown Arlington. Printable copies of registration forms can be downloaded off the Cascade Valley Hospital website at www.cascadevalley.org. Logan also recommends that prospective entrants call Egger at 360-618-7848, or stop by the reception desk of Cascade Valley Hospital to register.

Grand Parade rolls through town with style
M
arching bands, football teams and dance squads have all participated in Arlington’s Fourth of July Grand Parade in years past. Event organizers expect this year’s Independence Day Grand Parade will offer much the same eclectic collection of entrants who are scheduled to begin their jaunt down Olympic Avenue beginning at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 4. Heather Logan, past president of the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce, noted that the Chamber is again coordinating with Cascade Valley Hospital to stage both the Grand Parade and the Kiddies Parade immediately preceding it. Jennifer Egger, with whom Logan works at Cascade Valley Hospital, has taken the lead in putting together both parades, and is excited that this year’s Grand Parade will again feature some of the event’s most reliable attendees. “The Mission Pipe Band originally formed in 1962 as a Royal Canadian Legion band. Its connection with Arlington goes

Another set of honored guests at this year’s Grand Parade will be its Grand Marshals, Arlington High School Girls Varsity Basketball Coach Joe Marsh and Boys Varsity
Basketball Coach Nick Brown, both of whom saw their teams make it to state this year. As for the more than 100 other entrants that each year’s Grand Parade usually attracts, Logan believes that the more creative a given entrant is, the more strongly and fondly they will be remembered. “The crowd loves a

is definitely more,” she laughed. Logan noted that the small-town feel for which Arlington is praised by a number of residents and visitors alike is balanced by the diversity of participants and attendees that events such as its Fourth of July parades attract. “You see a good mix of old friends and new faces at the Grand Parade,” Logan said. “It’s always great fun.” Registration for the Grand Parade runs from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District building, located at 210 Division St. Entrants cannot participate if they aren’t

Logan also recommends that prospective entrants call Egger at 360-618-7848, or stop by the reception desk of Cascade Valley Hospital to register. An entry fee of $100 will be charged for participation by any political entry or person running for office in the upcoming election, while a $25 fee will be charged for all commercial entries.

Duck Dash celebrates 25th anniversary
A
lthough much has changed in the Arlington community over the last 25 years — with new shopping centers, schools, neighborhoods and more — there is one thing that's remained constant since it began in 1987 — the Great Stilly Duck Dash. "It's our 25th anniversary, which is a big deal, so we are doing a lot more this year," said Cindy Huleatt, the Rotary Club of Arlington's 2013 Duck Dash Chair. The Duck Dash began in 1987 as an idea for the Rotary Club to raise funds for the building of a community youth center that would later hold the Arlington Boys & Girls Club. Participants purchase tickets, and the ticket number corresponds with the number on one of thousands of little rubber ducks that Rotary Club members launch into the Stillaguamish River from the Lincoln Bridge. The first duck to arrive at the finish line at Haller Park is given a first-place $5,000 prize, at least ordinarily. This year, they are doing things a little differently. "We've always had one $5,000
winner, a $2,000 winner and a $1,000 winner," said Huleatt. "This year, we are giving out 25 $1,000 prizes." Twenty-five Duck Dash participants will win $1,000 each. "We are hopefully going to sell more tickets, but it's also a 'thank you' to the community for buying tickets every year," said Huleatt. The Rotary Club raises funds annually to support community programs for children, seniors and more. "We usually give around $65,000 back to community seniors, the Boys & Girls Club, Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts — you name it," said Huleatt. "We wanted to try something extra-special for our anniversary, so we are going to build a children's playground at Haller Park. That's what we are doing to celebrate, and as a 'thank you' to the community for 25 years of support." Huleatt noted that the funds for the new playground at Haller Park will be in addition to the money that Rotary normally raises for local charities or seniors.
"We want to raise in addition to what we always give back, as a new piece this year," she said, noting that, although the Rotary Club has planned for special projects in the past, it has not been as extensive as this anniversary celebration. As a way to help provide the prize money, the Duck Dash was able to double its sponsorship this year. "We have had a great response toward the building of the playground. We have our first-ever platinum sponsor this year — Dwayne Lane's Rotary Club members don duck costumes for the annual Great Stilly Duck Dash on Arlington Chevrolet.

"We will dump the ducks in at the Arlington Pharmacy, or "This community has stepped the river at 7:30 p.m. at Haller at Haller Park after the Grand up every time we have done a Park," added Huleatt. "We will Parade. For more information, project like this," she said. "It's also have live music from 6-9 log onto www.greatstillyducktruly amazing."

Fireworks draw large, enthusiastic crowds to Quake Park can set up their chairs and watch,” Logan said. “It’s just a perfect way to end a fabulous day of Fourth of July activities.” Logan has received feedback from a number of attendees of the Arlington fireworks show, indicating that it’s one of their favorite Fourth of July fireworks displays of anywhere that they’ve attended. “I’d heard from a lot of folks who like that it’s closer to where they live, and easier to find parking than in Seattle or even Everett,” Logan said. “It’s the crown jewel in our day-long celebration of America. Nobody does America better than Arlington,” she laughed.

The Chamber will continue its grand celebration this year with its new partners, Entertainment Fireworks Inc., who will be setting off thousands of dollars worth of pyrotechnics into the skies above the Arlington Boys & Girls Club on Thursday, July 4. “We are so excited to have this brand new show for our community,” said Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Chamber. “The pyrotechnics display is expected to be the best fireworks show in Arlington in years.” According to Chamber Past President Heather Logan, the bright lights and loud explosions will kick off at around 9 p.m. at Bill Quake Memorial Park, just after dark. She estimates that it will last approximately 20-30 minutes in front of what should be a sizable crowd. “We usually get several hundred people parked in the lots and on the sides of the surrounding streets, so they

people at the Fly-In,” said Leslee Graves, who’s served as one of the youth volunteer leaders for the Fly-In. “When you talk to the veterans and old pilots, they have so much knowledge and wisdom to share. I knew nothing about airplanes when I first started volunteering here. It’s been a really cool experience to learn about all the work that goes into the aircraft, and the Warbirds and other artifacts are great too.” On Friday, July 12, “Vintage Day” will showcase 1920s and ‘30s era aircraft, including displays by North Cascades Vintage Aero Museum in the red barn, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., while a “Hot Air Balloon Night Glow” is set to kick off at 9:30 p.m. “That’s absolutely fantastic for the whole family,” said Janie Brown, who served as manager of aircraft registration for last year’s Fly-In. “It’s really neat to watch them light up.” On Saturday, July 13, the Fly-In Car Show will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., featuring planes, tractors and automobiles, the latter including antiques, classics and hot rods. The aircraft judging awards will be presented at 5:15 p.m.
and followed by a live performance by the Mukilteo Outrageous Jazz Orchestra at 7 p.m. Live tank demonstrations are set to take place on Friday, July 12, and Saturday, July 13, and the Fly-In’s multitude of events will conclude with the “Night Pyrotechnics Air Show” on the evening of Saturday, July 13. Event organizers encourage attendees to arrive before 8 p.m. to pick up their tickets. Shuttles will run between the Arlington Airport and downtown Arlington from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 12, and Saturday, July 13. Whether attendees arrive by land or by air, the Arlington Airport has set aside a camping area for campers and trailers, complete with showers and restrooms, so that they can simply stay on site from Thursday, July 11, through their departures on Saturday, July 13. “I wish I’d started going to the Fly-In sooner,” Graves said. “It offers so many opportunities.” For more information, visit the Arlington Fly-In website at www.arlingtonflyin.org.

Debbie Whitis, who is also known around town as “The Purse Lady,” is in her third year of chairing the event. “It’s going to be pretty much the same as last year,” said Whitis. “Last year we sold 110 booths, and I believe we will have that many or more again. We are trying to build it back up to be a hometown event.” On Saturday, July 13, the Street Fair will feature its annual “Arlington Idol” contest, with the winner of the talent show taking home a $100 prize. The fair will also feature an open mic. “Anyone can come up to the microphone and tell a joke, recite a poem, or bring their guitar and plug it into our amps and play a song,” said Whitis.

pproximately 8,000 people turned out for the all-day air show sponsored by the Washington Pilot’s Association at Arlington Airport. The pancake and ham breakfast served from 7 a.m. to noon was a sell-out as was the strawberry shortcake sold later in the day. Blankets and beach chairs were much in evidence as spectators viewed water-balloon bombing, sky divers, precision formations, model airplane exhibitions, aerobatics and other high-flying capers. Shielding their eyes from the glaring sunlight, spectators visited displays of experimental and antique aircraft as well as promotional and dealer aircraft. The assorted concession stands also enjoyed a good business.
im Scott, manager of the 1990 EAA Fly-In, was one happy man Monday morning. The fiveday event proved to be the most successful ever and the most pleasant for all those concerned, as far as the weather was concerned. “We really turned the corner this year,” he said. “It was a great year — everything went well.” There were more planes on display this year than ever before, they ran out of tickets for the Saturday air show — sold out all that had been printed for that day, the skies seemed bluer and the smiles were wider; concessionaires had a great week; campers were able to relax and enjoy our beautiful Pacific Northwest; merchants were pleased with the additional business; all was well with the world.

ircraft of every type and description gathered at the Arlington Airport for the 16th Annual Northwest Experimental Aircraft Association Fly-In last weekend. Though Fly-In participants who flew in to Arlington’s celebration were counted among those who would rather take wing than take their next breath, much of the non-flying public enjoyed the weekend of events aeronautical. There were more than 600 planes lined out along the airport’s northern runway, planes sleek and elegant, and planes that appeared to have all the aerodynamics of a large rock.
either the sweltering summer sun nor the occasional drenching downpour could keep the estimated 50,000 attendees away from the 37th annual Arlington Northwest Experimental Aircraft Association Fly-In at the Arlington Airport. The five-day event featured more than 1,000 recreational aircraft, either on display on 116 acres of the airport’s grounds or in flight in the skies above, and the attractions on hand at the Fly-In varied almost as much as the attendees’ reasons for stopping by, many of them from far beyond Arlington itself, and nearly 1,600 of whom camped out on the grounds.
