Snohomish County Council recognizes Immigrant Heritage Month
EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council recognized June as Immigrant Heritage Month with a resolution passed on Tuesday.
About 19% of the county’s population is foreign-born, the resolution says, playing a vital role in its workforce and economy.
“Our nation has been shaped by individuals and families who have risked much in search of opportunity and the promise of a better future in the United States,” the resolution says.
In 2014, June was first recognized as National Immigrant Heritage Month, backed by the I Stand With Immigrants/I Am An Immigrant Initiative and elected officials at the time.
