The Snohomish County Council unanimously adopted Resolution 25-025 on May 21 recognizing May 23, 2025, as "Don't Fry Day" and urging residents to take sun-safety precautions and seek access to health care.
Council member Richard, who introduced the measure during the meeting's action items, framed the resolution as an annual public-health reminder. "We love a good pun in District 2, and also just an important reminder for, preventing skin cancer," Richard said. "It does impact, hundreds of people every year in Snohomish County. I've dealt with cancer, a lot in my family...and then I also had skin cancer a number of years ago."
The council voted 5-0 to approve the resolution. The motion to approve was offered from the dais and was seconded; no individual seconder was recorded in the transcript. There were no members of the public who provided in-person or remote comment on the resolution during the public-comment period.
