With looser restrictions during Phase 2, we are seeing more people on the roads again. Here are some summer driving tips to travel safely.

Avoid distractions: Eliminate any distractions, like eating, grooming, and using cell phones when you are behind the wheel. Stay focused on the road.

Share the road: With more people than ever on the highways and byways in the summer months. You should be on the lookout for cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends keeping a safe following distance of 3 to 4 seconds behind motorcyclists.

Buckle up: This should be a no-brainer, but summertime makes everyone loosen up. But don't loosen that seatbelt. It could save your life!

Have you "herd"? Sumner has its own sheep and goats once again clearing storm ponds just by snacking this summer! Don't be alarmed if you see them out grazing. There is no need to call animal control or 9-1-1 about loose animals. And please don't feed them--they're getting plenty of good food by doing their job and people food is baaaaa-d news for their digestive systems! ... See more

We have gotten this question quite a bit over the past few days.How are Sumner Police officers going to enforce the Governor's law requiring face masks in public spaces indoors and outdoors when you can't maintain 6' distance?

Just a quick reminder that the State asks that if/when you see someone without a mask in public to stay 6' away but not say anything to them, as some people do have medical exemptions As to our Police Department, we follow the answer that came from Washington State Patrol and can't improve on it:

Washington law enforcement agencies continue to focus on education and engagement regarding state orders related to the Coronavirus crisis. The statewide face covering order is a public health and safety measure; it is not a mandate for law enforcement to detain, cite or arrest violators but rather an evidence-based and safety focused directive meant to slow the spread of a potentially deadly disease.

WSP will continue to communicate with and encourage all Washingtonians to to make safety-focused decisions and follow all health-based directives from the Governor as well as state and local health officials.

Together, we will continue to address the very real public health threat of COVID 19, as we also work to safely reopen our economic, social and civic systems.

We trust our residents, businesses, elected leaders, health officials, and each other to do what is necessary during this unique time of shared medical vulnerability and gradual return to social and economic normalcy. ... See more
