Snohomish County Council recognizes Hispanic Heritage Month
EVERETT — Familiar Mexican melodies, performed on violin and cello, filled the Snohomish County Council chamber in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month during a meeting on Sept. 10.
“That’s probably the first time we’ve had music played in the council chambers,” council member Nate Nehring said in an interview after the meeting. “It was really special.”
Music director of Orquesta Northwest Paula Madrigal led and performed on cello the Mexican overture along with Teo Benson, executive director of Orquesta Northwest, who played the violin.
Julieta Altamirano-Crosby, a Snohomish County Public Utility District commissioner, worked with Nehring to recognize National Hispanic Heritage Month, which takes place from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.
