For those hikers who live in Snohomish county, the time they spend on trail can add up to some great rewards if they participate in the Get Movin' program which also kicks off this Saturday.

The Get Movin' program is a free summer program for Snohomish County residents aimed at motivating families to improve their health by adopting a more active, healthy lifestyle through physical and recreational activities.
