We are watching both the White and Puyallup River levels and doing some pre-work for soggy conditions. Our sweeper is out working the streets to prevent localized flooding. Help them out - if you see a drain clogged with leaves, pull them out of the way to help water flow.

Recently, our own Sumner Cemetery has experienced theft of some plaques and even markers made of bronze. While the destruction brought on by metal theft is not new, these are not just pieces of metal. Their loss is devastating to the families, to our cemetery staff and to our community. We are working with the families directly to inform them and get replacements as quickly as possible. The VA is paying to replace the missing markers for veterans and the city will pay for the rest.

What can you do?

1. If you know anything of these thefts, leave a message on our tip line at 253-299-5678.

2. If you are a family member of one of the missing plaques, please contact to cemetery about next steps at 253-299-5510. It is by no means all the plaques at the cemetery and while we know many may want to talk with us about their loved ones, we’re focusing on supporting the families directly victimized at this time

3. If you run a scrap yard or know someone who does, contact Sumner Police directly if you see markers or plaques coming in.

We are also evaluating and working to bring in additional security measures at the cemetery. We want our facility to be safe and secure but also accessible to those who need it to mourn and remember their loved ones.
