Community Focus

AMANDA BARTLETT, a Stanwood High School graduate, will have her shot at TV fame Tues, March 16, when she appears on KING 5 TV Evening Magazine with host Meeghan Black. Amanda was interviewed while watching the Mariners play the Padres in Peoria, AZ last Friday, “just laying in the sun by the fence near Ichiro,” she says. After the interview, Meeghan told Amanda to “give Stanwood a shout out!” She is the daughter of Sharon and Ed Bartlett of Stanwood.

“The February Great Northwest Glass Quest was a success!” says the Stanwood Chamber of Commerce. “Thousands of visitors were in our area and nearly 800 visitors to the Chamber office. We are hearing that many businesses experienced an increase in sales last month. This event succeeded in bringing people to see what our community has to offer and many stated that they will be coming back. Many thanks to the volunteers who helped us staff the temporary Visitor Information Center at the Exit 212 Shell Station. We put in 56.5 hours and over 350 people stopped by for information.”
