It is with great sadness that we heard of the passing of Petra Karr to coronavirus this morning. She didn't live in Sumner but she did so much to bring an extra spark to the community, especially Downtown. She’s the one who developed our now famous Dancing Scarecrows, and her creative brain turned Norman Rockwell paintings into living window displays at Hometown Holidays. She created Rhubarbarians for Daffodil Parades and countless productions at Ascension Theater Productions (later Act 1 Theatre). She even choreographed a flash mob dance one Christmas that you can still watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQJVOBevZNQ

We will miss her joy and energy. Forever in song. ... See more

It’s important to remember that this is a gubernatorial order to the people of Washington to “flatten the curve” and keep all Washingtonians safe.. For Sumner Police, “enforcement” means engagement and education with the Sumner community. We view our role as one of education, especially on how to keep you, your family and the entire community safe, especially our vulnerable populations. We understand that some people still need to carry out essential services to keep our community strong and sustainable, but please do so wisely and with proper precautions. We have no plans to create checkpoints or have officers carry tape measures to enforce social distancing requirements, but we will take action to penalize repeat violators or in the most extreme circumstances. Violation of a Governor’s Proclamation is a gross misdemeanor under RCW 43.06.220 and officers may refer appropriate violations for criminal charges.

To report individual or private groups potentially violating orders: Call the Sumner Police Department non-emergency line at 253-798-4721 or 800-562-9800 . We will respond to these concerns as staffing allows. ... See more
