The Snohomish County Department of Human Services announced the 22nd Annual Snohomish County Transition Resource Fair will be held on March 26, 2019 at the Cascade High School. The annual Transition Resource Fair is an opportunity for self-advocates and their families to access, and become educated about, resources that can support/enable each individual to pursue their employment/career goals.
