Shoreline Fire Department & partner agencies will be on campus training at buildings 2300 and 800 from 04/13 through 04/17. There will be multiple fire engines and apparatus on campus during these times.

With both of these buildings being demolished in the near future, this presents an opportunity for emergency responders to practice “real life” scenarios.

You may see firefighters on the roofs practicing vertical venting (cutting holes in the roof), rappelling from elevated surfaces, and also using simulated smoke (fog machine) to resemble low visibility conditions. They will not actually be setting anything on fire. 

 If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Shoreline College Safety & Security

King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) SWAT will be conducting training at Building 800 on 04/08 & 04/09 between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.  

This is a great opportunity for KCSO to demonstrate proficiency in practical skills and tactics without having to worry about damaging the building itself. As many of you are aware, with the completion of the Bracken 8000 building, Building 800 is now scheduled to be demolished in the near future.  

During these days you may notice officers in dark green uniforms, marked/unmarked police vehicles, and may hear loud noises throughout the day. KCSO will also be deploying signage on the perimeter of the area as well as safety observers.  

The flyer below from KCSO describes the training more in depth as well as a point of contact from the Sheriff’s Office.  

If you have any questions, you can reach Shoreline College Safety & Security at safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu.

This morning, an issue related to our campus construction projects caused the gas line sensor feeding into Building 1700 to trip, resulting in a temporary loss of heat. The issue has been addressed, and gas is now safely running through the building. Classes and work will continue as normal through this afternoon.

The gas line will need to be shut off later today in order to make repairs, which means the building will be too cold for evening classes.  Please check Canvas for updated classroom assignments.   While there is no danger to students at this time, we will be relocating all evening classes scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. in Building 1700 to alternate areas. Building 1700 will close at 3:30 pm today.

Please note that as a result, the roadway around Building 1700 will be completely closed today while repairs are underway. During this closure, the only access to Building 1800 will be via the walk ramp on the west side of the building, adjacent to the Building 1900/2000 roundabout.

Updates will be provided as made available.

On Wednesday, 10/22, law enforcement will be conducting an all-day training exercise at a nearby location. As a part of this training, the King County Sheriff’s Office helicopter, Guardian 2, will conduct flight operations in and around Shoreview Park.

The college hopes that this advanced notification will assist with reducing or limiting the concerns of those who may witness the flight operations. We would like to thank our partners at Shoreline Police and the King County Sheriff’s Office for reaching out and providing us with this information in advance.

Questions can be directed to Safety & Security by email at safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu at any time.
