It's Tax Season which means the scammers are at it again! Have you received a call from someone claiming to be the IRS who tells you that you have a warrant out for your arrest? Before you do anything, remember these tips:

-Don’t give your personal or financial information in response to a request that you didn’t expect. Legitimate organizations won’t call, email, or text to ask for your personal information, like your Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers.

-Block unwanted calls and text messages. Take steps to block unwanted calls and to filter unwanted text messages.

-If you get an email or text message from a company you do business with and you think it’s real, it’s still best not to click on any links. Instead, contact them using a website you know is trustworthy. Or look up their phone number. Don’t call a number they gave you or the number from your caller ID.

-Resist the pressure to act immediately. Legitimate businesses will give you time to make a decision. Anyone who pressures you to pay or give them your personal information is a scammer.

-Never pay someone who insists you pay with a gift card or by using a money transfer service. And never deposit a check and send money back to someone. ... See more

The city of Sumner has received funding to completely resurface the full length of Sumner-Tapps Highway from 64th Street E in Sumner up the hill to 162nd Avenue East. Construction is planned to begin in April or May of this year.

Northbound traffic between 64th and 60th will be shifted earlier to avoid drivers getting trapped in the “left only” lane. Medians will define roadway movements at 60th Street. To improve safety up the hill, we'll be re-striping Sumner-Tapps Highway north of 60th Street to increase the size of the shoulders on both sides of the road plus add rumble strips on the center line and roadway edges. Through traffic modeling, it is estimated that these safety modifications should reduce the number of collisions by 26%. Unfortunately, to improve safety without widening the roadway, the re-striping will remove the passing lane traveling up hill.
