TheYMCA of Snohomish County supported the track walk/run and exercise classes, led by their amazing instructors. Nick of Time was on hand doing CPR and Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Awareness. Everett Community College Nursing Students offered blood pressures and a fun obstacle course. Other activities included chair massage, food trucks, and Everett AquaSox prizes, gear, and free game tickets.
