Vigil honors those who died while homeless

EVERETT — The tone of a bell. The call and response of two sorrowful bugles. Candles lit in remembrance.

A vigil took place Friday, on the county campus in Everett, to honor those who died homeless. The event, now in its 15th year, took place two days before winter solstice, the longest night of the year.

An announcer read 63 names that were provided by county officials and community members. Four were known to be veterans. Another person rang a bell after each name was read.

There were almost certainly more individuals who died without having their names read off on Friday, event organizer Adam Fortney said after the event.
