UNDERAGE DRINKING TOWN HALL MEETINGS IN SKAGIT COUNTY

Communities across Skagit County will be hosting town hall meetings on underage drinking the last week of March. These town hall meetings are part of a national effort to increase our understanding of underage drinking and its consequences to youth and their community. These events will help encourage and empower individuals, families, and community members to address the problem of underage drinking in their community.

The public is encouraged to attend these insightful meetings. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in open discussions regarding underage drinking issues. Listed below are the town hall meetings in Skagit County:
