FYI on upcoming road closures of SR 167 for repair to the 3rd Ave SW bridge:
Permanent repairs begin Wednesday, Nov. 19
All lanes on northbound SR 167 will close from 11 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, to 5 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, while crews shift traffic and set a work zone to complete repairs. A signed detour will be in place.
Third Avenue SW will close starting Wednesday night, Nov. 19, and remain closed for the duration of this project. A signed detour will be in place.
Starting Thursday morning, Nov. 20, just the right lane will be open across the Third Avenue SW overpass. Delays and congestion are likely in the area, particularly during peak travel times.
Crews will use precision techniques to remove and replace the damaged girder then restore the bridge deck. Construction will continue into early 2026. Crews will work 24-7, including during holidays, until the bridge reopens.
During this lane reduction, people should plan ahead, allow extra travel time and consider using alternate routes.

Double the fun! Double the snuggles! Double the love!!!!
Are you looking for a dynamic duo of kitties to join your family! Look no farther, because we are just the right fit for you!
Our names are Dash and Lily, and as a bonded pair of twins, we do EVERYTHING together. All of the staff and volunteers here at the shelter love to watch us play together, sleep together, eat together, snuggle together… yep, we are inseparable!
We came into the shelter back in September, after a nice lady found us wandering around the city of Puyallup looking for a safe place to stay. At the shelter we got cleaned up, had our vaccinations and our alterations done. After spending lots of playing with the volunteers, we are ready to be adopted together into a loving forever home.
So make a dash over to the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup to see us today! The shelter is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with “meet & greets” available from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

It seems Facebook removed our Veterans Day post yesterday, so we are trying again…
Today, we pause to honor all those who have served and sacrificed for our nation. Their courage, dedication, and commitment to protecting our freedoms inspire us every day.
We are especially proud to recognize the veterans among our own department – 45% of our commissioned officers are veterans. Their continued service to our community reflects the same strength, integrity, and leadership they showed in uniform.
To all veterans, past and present—thank you for your service and sacrifice. Your contributions make our city, and our country, stronger.

When Community Comes First – A Message from Mayor Hayden:
Do you know that 11.6% of Sumner’s residents rely on the SNAP program? At least, they did in the 2023 Census, and I’m guessing the number likely increased since then. I’m not going to get into the Federal shutdown, and why it’s happening or what should happen. What I’m saying is that we can all set our personal politics aside to agree that at least 11.6% of our residents are facing challenges right now to put food on the table. We can’t just stand by and see that without doing something about it. We checked in with our own Sumner Community Food Bank and the Sumner-Bonney Lake Family Center. Both said they’re seeing an increase in demand for their assistance, and both said they’re completely out of baby formula. Baby formula!
Here’s what we’re doing: I authorized an additional $10,000 to the Sumner Community Food Bank and $1,000 to the Family Center from our Community Partners Fund. We’re also hosting a community-wide drive for formula. You can drop off formula right at City Hall, next to the Toy Drive (there are two boxes), and we’ll deliver all of it to the food bank. Or, you can donate, volunteer and support the Sumner Community Food Bank directly. Yes, there are social media headlines, opinion columns, rants, and clickbait. At the end of the day, there’s also community, and here in Sumner, that comes first. Thank you for your attention, and please give as you can to help our neighbors.
