Mountlake Terrace SWAT team exercise in Shoreline

On Monday, May 8 from 11:00am to 6:00pm, the Mountlake Terrace SWAT team will conduct exercises at several vacant houses along the 18500 block of 7th Ave NE on the east side of the freeway by the vehicle overpass.

The houses involved in the exercise are owned by Sound Transit and will soon be demolished as part of the Lynnwood Link Light Rail expansion.

The Mountlake Terrace Police, along with the Shoreline Police through the King County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies, have reciprocal agreements that allow training in other jurisdictions. Police have been reaching out to surrounding neighbors to explain the exercise and answer questions.
