You’ve heard don’t leave pets in the car but really no pet or person of any age should be spending time in a parked car when it is 90 degrees. Here’s a tip from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office if you spot a pet or person locked in a hot car.

Call 911 immediately, stay with the vehicle and provide as much information as you can to dispatchers (location, vehicle make/model, license plate), as well as to arriving first responders.

Most homes in Everett do not have air conditioning. Check on your elderly or disabled neighbors and make sure they are drinking plenty of water.
