Edmonds, Lynnwood residents among VFW District 1 officers installed

VFWNewly elected officers for the VFW and its Auxiliary were installed at the VFW District 1 meeting last month. Those elected will serve a year-long term of duty. There are eight VFW Posts in District 1, which covers all of Snohomish County.
