It was a weird day to be at the Snohomish County administrative offices.
One: for some strange reason, tons of people were submitting plans/requests for permits. Not sure the causality of that. But the line was LOONNGGG.
Two: there was plenty of media presence, most likely due to this story: “Cascade Mall shooter dies in apparent jail suicide“. Mr. Cetin was being held in the Snohomish County jail, part of the admin complex.
Three: I heard that they were interviewing jurors for a major case. Not sure the whos or whats of that rumor, but there you go.
Four: I’m sure related to all the above, there was no parking in the county’s garage.
Last but not least, there was a gnarly accident on the corner of Oakes and Pacific, so Oakes wasn’t getting through, and people were being routed around Pacific.
Made for a slow moving day, but got some key stuff done. Not going to complain too loudly.
