Washington finalizes historic cap-and-invest plan to slash carbon pollution

Gov. Jay Inslee signs Climate Commitment Act legislation
at Shoreline Community College on May 17, 2021.

The Washington State Department of Ecology has finalized regulations for the state’s first cap-and-invest program, which will drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. 

The program is a result of the Climate Commitment Act passed by legislators and signed by the governor last year. Under the cap-and-invest program, firms responsible for 75% of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions must obtain allowances to cover their emissions. Over time, these allowances will be reduced, incentivizing businesses to cut emissions.

“This policy is among the most decisive actions we’ve taken in our history to confront climate change and protect our collective future,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. 
“This new program will help us decarbonize our economy, improve air quality, and put Washington at the forefront of the fast-growing global era of clean energy.”

This is among several policies passed in recent years aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions 95% by 2050. Ecology is required to implement the landmark program – only the second of its kind in the nation – by Jan. 1, 2023. The first auction is planned for February 2023.

The revenue will be invested in activities that further reduce emissions and benefit communities disproportionately harmed by climate change. 

One example of how these revenues will be used is in this year’s Move Ahead Washington transportation package that includes unprecedented investments in transit – including free transit for all youth ages 18 and younger, electrification of ferries and cars, and other non-highway modes of travel.

Friday, September 30, 2022


Seattle Latino Film Festival was founded in 2009 by Jorge Enrique Gonzalez Pacheco, a Cuban international award-winning poet, film industry professional, and cultural entrepreneur. 

Jorge had a vision to create a film festival in Seattle for Latino artists and filmmakers. The Seattle Latino Film Festival is the only one of its kind in the entire Northwest of the United States. 

Although the organization operates under budget, the staff are passionate about the films that the festival presents, and are grateful to the film industry for supporting this organization.

The Festival runs during the month of October to coincide with the National Hispanic Heritage Month. SLFF includes international filmmakers, producers, and actors with the specific purpose of engaging the Seattle community with cross-cultural perspectives, and to create a forum to explore those perspectives, many of which are integral to the experience of "Latinidad."

The Shoreline Community College Theatre is one of the venues, showing films October 12, 13, 14, 2022.
  • October 12, 7pm - The Sound of Violet
  • October 13, 7pm - Another Orange / Heavier than Water
  • October 14, 7pm - When Spirits Dance / OaxacaCalifornia: The Return
Every youth over 13 attending OaxacaCalifornia will receive a free, high-quality soccer ball courtesy of RAVE Foundation and Seattle Sounders FC.

Shoreline Community College launches new degree in Business Intelligence and Data Analytics

Friday, August 26, 2022

This Fall, Shoreline Community College (Shoreline) is excited to introduce a new degree to its program list: an Associate of Applied Arts (AAAS) in Business Intelligence and Data Analytics (BIDA).

The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) and the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) approved the new AAAS degree this summer.

The BIDA degree will provide graduates with the skills to solve today's business problems and prepare for tomorrow's opportunities. With this degree, graduates establish strong foundations in data principles, reporting, visualizations, analytics, project development and data-driven decision-making.

PEMCO Mutual Insurance’s Information Systems Manager expressed they would utilize someone with this degree in an intro analytics role.

“This would be a great foundation for someone to come in and be able to start in an analytics role and help with analysis and data-driven decisions,” said the manager. “People with a well-rounded understanding of statistics and excellent communication skills are critical for impactful data analysis.”

The program can be completed in two years, creating a pathway to high-wage, high demand jobs in Seattle-region business sectors such as finance, marketing, recruiting, sales, aviation, logistics and business intelligence reporting.

Dr. Phillip King, vice president for Student Learning, Equity, and Success at Shoreline, recognizes this program is timely and important to the increasingly diverse Seattle region and its local community.

“Shoreline has forecasted those needs by identifying key new faculty and staff to assist in developing and teaching the program,” said King.

“The BIDA degree program is built to serve several worldwide and regional issues, including the proliferation of Big Data (large and complex data sets), the need for innovation and creativity when displaying data, and the large skills gap specific to this geographical area.”

Shoreline has introduced several other programs in the last few years to improve inclusive excellence in teaching and learning, support student success and include students and the community in the learning process. These programs encompass STEM additions which consist of the Automotive Service Technician AAAS, the Electric Vehicle Technician Certificate (Tesla), Mechatronics AAAS, and the Essentials of Biomanufacturing Certificate.

Dr. Lucas Rucks, executive dean of Business, Communication Studies and Social Sciences programs, acknowledges that this degree adds to a robust list of programs Shoreline College offers but allows access to a new career sector.

“Few colleges are offering courses in data analytics, and the business intelligence market is in desperate need of the skills within this degree,” shared Rucks. 
“Our program will provide lessons and skills required to improve business decision-making, converting raw data into meaningful information to inform business planning, market analysis, and drive competitive practices. These are skills local organizations and top companies worldwide are looking for right now.”

Shoreline aims to serve the entire community, assisting students with their diverse educational, workforce and cultural needs.

“The college continues to explore ways to meet the challenges of a changing economic climate and the needs of students in our region,” added Rucks. “We will continue to offer online and hybrid courses while also providing support in financial aid, academic planning towards career and transfer goals, and ramping up basic skills towards college work, both online and in person.”

Enrollment for the BIDA program is available now for the fall semester. For more information, contact businessprograms@shoreline.edu
