Two people have been severely injured in a house fire southwest of Silver Lake on Friday afternoon.

The fire was first reported around 1:30 p.m. on the 11900 block of Nels Peters Road. Crews from Snohomish County Fire District 1 arrived to find smoke pouring from the home. They were able to get the fire out in the manufactured home in around 30 minutes.

Two people, a man and a woman in their 40s, were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment of severe burns.

Crews were expected to stay at the home through the afternoon putting out hot spots and looking for a cause. The damage to the home and contents is estimated at $130,000.

Everett Police are looking for a man who robbed a bank near Everett Mall at gunpoint last Friday.

EPD spokesman Robert Goetz said that the man walked into the Bank of Washington on Everett Mall Way late on Friday afternoon, displayed a handgun and demanded money. Once he got it, he took off on foot.

Police arrived soon after, but a search of the area turned up nothing. No one was injured in the robbery.

Goetz said the man is decribed as a white male in his 40s, 5-10, 230 pounds, with short hair and a receding hairline. He was wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and a ski mask that partially hid his face.

Anyone with information on the robber is asked to call the Everett Police Tips Line at 425-257-8450 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).

The increase of whooping cough (pertussis) in Snohomish County has led the Snohomish Health District set up two clinics where vaccines will be distributed.

The district will be hosting the Tdap clinics on February 4 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Snohomish Health District at 3020 Rucker Avenue in Everett and the Sea Mar Community Health Center at 9710 State Avenue in Marysville. Around 450 shots will be available between the two sites, thanks to a $14,000 grant from The Everett Clinic Foundation.

While the shots will be free, an advance appointment is strongly recommended. Those can be made by calling 425-388-5088 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. from January 30 to February 3. A few walk-in shots will be available, but that appointment would be the best bet.

The health district is hoping to attract pregnant women in their third trimester and those who are in close contact with newborns, infants, young children and pregnant women.
