This Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week, we want to say a big THANK YOU to Snohomish County’s dedicated animal control officers and Animal Services support staff. Your commitment to protecting both animals and people in our community does not go unnoticed! 👮♂️🐾
Serving unincorporated Snohomish County, this team responds to a wide range of animal-related concerns—from loose livestock and animal welfare to leash law violations and public safety issues. Through education, pet licensing, investigations, and partnerships with law enforcement, veterinarians, shelters, and advocacy groups, they work every day to promote responsible animal ownership.
Your impact is felt across our community, and we’re truly grateful for all that you do! 🐶✨ Help us celebrate their efforts by dropping a “thank you” in the comments below!

Yesterday morning, Snohomish County Elections conducted and passed the Random Ballot Audit, also known as a Risk-Limiting Audit, to confirm post-election results for the February 10 Special Election.⠀
⠀⠀
This audit compares randomly selected paper ballots to the machine-counted votes for those ballots to provide statistical evidence that the machine-counted results match the votes reflected on the paper ballots. Random Ballot Audits are just one of the many tests and audits Snohomish County Elections conducts before and after each election to ensure votes are properly counted.
⠀⠀
Election results will be certified on Friday, February 20, by the County Canvassing Board.⠀
