Detective Nicole Stone began her career in law enforcement working as an assistant to the Traffic Unit Sergeant in the Spokane Police Department, while attending Spokane Community College, studying Administration of Justice/Law Enforcement. Continuing her education, she became a Reserve Police Officer for the Spokane P.D. and worked as a Corrections Officer for Spokane County Jail. 

Since joining the Mukilteo P.D. in 2008, Stone has built an impressive record investigating and achieving convictions in major cases, including the notorious Chennault Beach Triple Murder case. She worked as co-lead for the house party triple murder case, which garnered nationwide media attention. She received the Mukilteo Police Department Commendation Award for her work on this case. Since 2015, Stone has been one of the elite investigators chosen from all police agencies county wide forming the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team. 

Post 8870 is proud to be able to recognize Detective Stone’s work and to sponsor her to the District 1 and now Department of Washington and potentially national awards. Our thanks for her dedication to public safety.

Aquasox Game

District 1 is organizing a VFW outing to the Aquasox Game on August 16th. The District has reserved 65 seats (all together) for VFW Night. The cost is $10 per ticket. Following the game will be a fireworks show. Bring your spouses and enjoy the camaraderie of members from the other 7 Posts in District 1. One of the best fringe benefits of being a Past District Commander was meeting and getting to know really excellent folks from all over Snohomish County. This is a good opportunity for you to meet them as well. We need a head count so I will pass around a signup sheet at the July meeting. Since District will need to buy the tickets prior to our August meeting, please bring cash for the tickets. We will distribute the tickets at our August meeting or leave them at Will Call.
