EVERETT — Ninety-one individuals, if not more, died on the streets in Snohomish County last year. Twelve served in the military. Each was honored at the county’s vigil for homeless individuals Dec. 21, the longest night of the year.
The number of people memorialized at the annual vigil has grown since the county’s first one in 2010.
The county creates its list from news reports and information from social services providers.
