Pumpkin-pickin’ season in full swing
Doug Ramsay photo
Corbin Littleton, 4, of Lake Stevens finds it a lot easier to just roll his chosen pumpkin back to the wagon rather than carrying it as he and his parents were on a pumpkin hunting venture at Stocker Farm this past Sunday. The Snohomish River Valley has become the place to be to search out that perfect jack-o-lantern or decorative pumpkin again this year during the annual Festival of Pumpkins.

Escaped baby kangaroo in Monroe found safe
MONROE — A baby kangaroo that got loose this morning is now safe and sound, police said.
The eight-week-old joey’s been transported by Monroe police to an animal hospital.
On Tuesday, Oct. 6, a person let the young kangaroo out a van to use the bathroom in the 300 block of W. Main Street and it got loose.
After finding no luck looking around with a drone, police went door-to-door in the area. The joey was found in a carport.
The Monroe family owns the kangaroo, and bought an adult kangaroo a while back from a kangaroo farm in Arlington that sells kangaroos as pets, according to the farm’s owners. Online, they expressed worry about the joey but disclaimed ownership.
Police believe the kangaroo had stayed in the van overnight. They are investigating whether it was legally owned, Monroe Police spokeswoman Debbie Willis said.
