Stanwood Police Department has officially launched their BlueBridge Program! Using prepaid debit cards, Stanwood officers will be able to provide individuals in crisis with immediate support. "This might look like buying a victim of domestic violence a hotel room for a night, giving a low-income student a pair of shoes, or providing someone living out of their car with a warm meal and a little gas," Police Chief Toner. BlueBridge is funded by grants and community support. Read the full story at https://bit.ly/4g8MaGN.

Interested in making a donation to support the program? Visit https://bluebridgealliance.org/stanwoodwapd/ to get started.

It’s back to school time! 👟 🎒 Follow these back to school safety reminders when driving to help keep our students and streets safe.

With school starting for most students tomorrow (Sept. 3), we want to urge ALL drivers to brush up on the rules when it comes to safely operating around school buses and school zones:

🛑 You must ALWAYS stop if you are traveling in the same direction as the school bus.
🛑 On a two-lane road, traffic in both directions needs to stop.
🛑 Please keep in mind that even if you are not required to stop, you need to proceed with caution.
🛑 Failure to stop for a school bus can run you a $500 ticket.
🛑 Remember that 20 mph school zones are active again — so drive cautiously near our schools and crosswalks!

The 72nd Ave Sidewalk is almost complete! This new section of walkway will make it safer for pedestrians to visit Church Creek Park and will eventually, connect to a multi-use trail system which is being designed. A crosswalk is also being constructed at the entrance of the park making it easier for visitors to cross the street from the high school and vice versa. https://stanwoodwa.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=404
