An estimated 200 people attended the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebration Saturday at the Lynnwood Library.
The free event was sponsored by the WAGRO Foundation — in collaboration with the Lynnwood Library, the City of Lynnwood, Verdant Health Commission, Community Foundation of Snohomish County, and The Fat Brush: Art Workshop.
The Day of the Dead is one of Mexico’s most meaningful traditions, a time to honor and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed. Saturday’s event included art, music, food, raffles, children’s activities and cultural workshops for all ages.
A highlight of the event was the Community Altar (Ofrenda Comunitaria), a shared space for remembrance and connection. Guests brought photos and mementos of a loved one to place on the altar. The altar symbolizes unity, healing and the belief that love and memory transcend time.
