 Cherry Consignment They will help you recycle designer, better department and specialty store, clothing and accessories by selling them to other people and passing the profits along to you. Just remember, designer and better department store labels sell! The better the label and the better the condition of each garment, the quicker it will sell, and the better price it will get.
Don’t Forget About Your Accessories. Not only do we accept designer quality clothing; we also accept accessories such as shoes, jewelry, handbags, purses, hats, etc. If you own it, but just don’t wear it anymore, bring it in and we’ll resell it for you.
Visit the Cherry Consignment website for examples of items that sell and see Cherry’s Six Rules for Successful Consigning.

Today, Sound Transit marks the first birthday of Central Link light rail, which during its inaugural year of operations attracted an estimated six million riders, adding up to major environmental savings and better quality of life. Had those six million riders driven cars instead of climbing aboard Link, Sound Transit estimates they would have consumed 93,000 barrels of oil to make 1.8 million gallons of gasoline.
Quick facts about Link’s 1st year of service:
Total light rail train miles travelled: 1.2 million
Estimated ridership for the first year: 6 million
Average rider trip length: 7.1 miles
Passenger miles travelled: 43 million
Light rail trains run every 7.5 minutes during peak hours and every 10 or 15 minutes at other hours of the day, offering a fast and convenient way to move around. Light rail stations offer easy connections to buses that serve other destinations throughout the region. Commuters can secure bicycles at Link stations or bring them onboard the trains.
“This is a great achievement for a region that has embraced light rail after years of waiting,” said Sound Transit Board Chair and Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon. “Thanks to light rail, the people of this region have saved time, money and precious natural resources. We’ll only see those savings grow as we expand the system to the north, east and south.”

A rain garden acts like a native forest by collecting, absorbing, and filtering stormwater runoff from roof tops, driveways, patios, and other areas that don’t allow water to soak in. Rain Gardens are simply shallow depressions that:
Can be shaped and sized to fit your yard
Are constructed with soil mixes that allow water to soak in rapidly and support healthy plant growth
Can be landscaped with a variety of plants to fit the surroundings
You can make an important contribution to reduce the amount of stormwater and pollutants coming
from your property by incorporating rain gardens into your yard. For more information about rain gardens and how to build one, download this free Rain Garden Handbook for Western Washington Homeowners (PDF).
