April marks the start of the spring digging season for homeowners, landscapers,and construction companies. Failure to locate underground utilities before digging results in unintentionally hitting underground lines or pipes, leading to penalties, repair costs, inconvenient outages, injury, or even death. Washington's free 811 one-call service notifies the appropriate utility companies of the intent to dig,and the center dispatches professional locators to the site to mark approximate locations of underground lines,safely alerting the dig crew of the danger below. All residents and professional excavators are required by law to call 811 at least two business days before they dig. • Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in occasional street closures.

Chaplain Fernando Cedillo expressed gratitude for the City's recent "Renton to be an Inclusive City" proclamation adopted on February 27, 2017.
