Today, Tuesday, Nov. 3 is Election Day! Snohomish County voters have been returning their ballots in record numbers. As of Friday, nearly 65% of registered voters returned their ballots through the mail or through a ballot drop box. That’s over 330,000 ballots!
The Snohomish County Auditor's Office on the first floor Admin West on the county campus in Everett has been open to the public since October 26 for in-person voter registration and accessible voting services. Today, the public meeting room in the Drewel building in Everett, the office for the Alderwood Water & Wastewater District in Lynnwood, and the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Arlington will also be used as voter registration and accessible voting sites.
Snohomish County Elections has hired and trained 200+ seasonal workers to assist. They have fully staffed accessible voting sites. They have teams picking up ballots from drop boxes every day. Every ballot drop box throughout the county will have at least two elections workers ready to assist voters on Election Day. And local jurisdictions and county deputies will be assisting with traffic control at popular ballot drop boxes and monitoring community safety. We are prepared for a high-turnout election!
The only thing that remains for some of you is to vote! Your vote is important! Make sure you return your ballot to one of our ballot drop boxes before 8pm on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3.
If you have any questions about participating in this year or need further assistance, please contact Snohomish County Elections at 425-388-3444 or go here: https://snohomishcountywa.gov/224/Elections-Voter-Registration.

Snohomish County's Emergency Coordination Center continues to support families in need (and our farmers) by distributing locally-grown food to at-need residents through Nourishing Neighborhoods. As we move into the holiday season, they will provide a special distribution of Fall Harvest Bags 11/16 through 11/25. The Fall Harvest Bags will include our regular produce, a chicken or vegetarian field roast, an apple pie, and other groceries.
Because of the additional items, we are looking for extra help. We are in need of people who would be willing to assist in bagging and handing out food at our food distributions. Our distributions are located throughout the County and you can check the upcoming schedule and sign-up online.
General notes:
- You will be required to wear a face covering.
- The majority of the work will occur outside.
- You will be handing out boxes of fresh produce weighing up to 25 pounds.
For Snohomish County employees only:
- In order to avoid any conflict in work schedule or overtime, you must have your supervisor/managers approval prior to completing the online sign-up.
- During the time that you are serving in this role, you will be considered to be in your regular position.
