Welcome back to campus! As we work our way through the first week of the quarter, I wanted to take this opportunity to provide some tips from the Department of Safety & Security.
Parking
Permits are required to park on campus for all days each quarter, Monday-Friday from 6:00am-4:00pm, excluding weekends and holidays. Citations with fines are issued for ADA violations, PCC parking violations, Visitor Lot violations, and other illegal/hazardous (fire lane, blocking roadway, not parked in a parking stall, etc.).
Students can purchase parking permits in Student Finance (aka Cashiers). Part-Time employment requests can be sent in by department office. Full-Time employee permit requests must be verified by Dean, Director, etc. Daily permits are also available for purchase at pay stations located at the East Gate, West Gate, in front of Bldg. 7000, in the parking lot west of Bldg. 1600, and on the walkway between Bldg. 2900 and 3000.
Campus Security
We have a uniformed Campus Security Officer on campus and on-duty 24/7/365. Our personnel are trained and equipped to respond to a vast variety of calls that include, but are not limited to, basic first aid, medical emergencies, security emergencies, and calls for assistance.
To reach our team during business hours, call 206-546-4633, or visit the Safety & Security Office in the Foss Building, Room 5102.
After hours or if the office does not answer, the on-duty Campus Security Officer can be reached at 206-235-5860
Courtesy Services
Our department provides vehicle lockout assistance, vehicle jumpstarts, security escorts, and more!
Lost & Found
The official campus Lost & Found is located in the Safety & Security Office, Room 5102. We hold onto items for 3-6 months before disposing of them.
Annual Security and Fire Report (CLERY)
The Annual Security and Fire Report will be available, beginning October 1st, 2023 at https://www.shoreline.edu/safetyandsecurity/logs/default.aspx. For those that would like a physical copy, physical copies are available upon request at the Safety & Security Office in Room 5102, Building 5000 (FOSS).
Upcoming Events
- Thursday, 10/05, All-Campus Fire Evacuation Drill
- Saturday and Sunday, 10/07 and 10/08, Shoreline Police Training in Bldg. 2800 (not open to public)
- Friday, 10/13, Catalytic Converter Marking Event w/Shoreline Police
- Saturday, 10/21, Gun Buyback Event w/Shoreline Police, Kenmore Police, and King County Sheriff’s Office
Tips
Here are a few tips that can help you in having a wonderful experience here at Shoreline:
- STOP! If you haven’t already, save the after-hours Campus Security number in your phone now! 206-235-5860.
- Park in high traffic and well-lit areas.
- Remove all valuables from your vehicle and remove items from view.
- Even if a bag only has dirty gym clothes in it, a prowler may break in hoping it contains valuables.
- If you observe a suspicious person or vehicle on campus, call security.
- Always keep your phone and photo ID on your person in the event that you need to contact assistance.
- If you witness or observe concerning behavior or posts on social media, report it to Campus Security by calling the office or after-hours number.
- PLEASE NOTE: Do not report injuries, criminal activity, or request immediate assistance via email, as email is only monitored sporadically during office hours.
For questions, please come to the Safety & Security Office (5102), call us at: (206) 546-4633 or email: safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu
Respectfully,
Your Department of Safety & Security

Dear Campus Community,
This morning, just after 8:00am, a fire broke out in Building 2600. One staff member was in the building and safely evacuated after their initial attempts to extinguish the fire were unsuccessful. Our staff member immediately contacted Campus Security and 911, who had previously been notified via our campus fire alarm system.
Campus Security and members of the Facilities department began to set up a perimeter as Shoreline Fire and neighboring partner agencies arrived on scene to begin firefighting operations. The buildings immediately surrounding the fire (2700, 2800, 2900, and the HSAAMCC construction site) were evacuated out of an abundance of caution, to limit exposure to smoke/fumes and in the event the fire jumped structures.
The fire is fully extinguished, and the Shoreline Fire Marshal’s Office and King County Sheriff Fire Investigation Unit have completed their investigations. Director of Safety and Security Greg Cranson will reach out to stakeholders about reentry and salvage.
Personnel from Campus Security, Facilities, and the employee that was present when the fire broke out were all assessed by Shoreline Fire medical personnel for smoke inhalation and thankfully, none required treatment.
Classes and college business will resume in the surrounding buildings (2700, 2800, 2900, HSAAMCC site) on Wednesday, 05/24/2023. Due to damage from this incident, Building 2600 will now remain unoccupied and unused until its preplanned demolition this fall to make way for the new STEAM building. The college has identified space for classes and labs typically held in Building 2600, and those updates have been passed to instructors and students. Due to the incident, the 2200, 2700, and 2800 buildings have no HVAC. We are working with Puget Sound Energy on a timeline for restoration.
The college is incredibly grateful for the work done by Shoreline Fire and their partner agencies who responded quickly to fight fire. While the loss of equipment and space is unfortunate, material items can be replaced. We are thankful that nobody was injured during the fire.
The college will hold a debrief to determine what went well and identify the areas where we can improve, as the pursuit of providing a safe and secure campus is always our first priority.
Greg Cranson
Acting Director of Safety & Security

One of the food options offered at Shoreline Community College is the self-service Avanti Fresh Market located on the 2nd floor of the 9000 Building. The Avanti Market uses an innovative pay-on-selection service, which includes a 24/7 video monitoring system to deter/prevent theft of goods.
Recently a substantial number of meals, drinks, and snack items have been taken without being scanned and paid for. Because of this, please be aware that Avanti Markets is reviewing all surveillance videos on a daily basis to determine the source of the theft.
The College wants to provide these food and beverage services for the enjoyment of all. Should you have any questions regarding the information above, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at any time.
