Shorecrest receives English Language Learner Award from State Board of Education

Wednesday, March 26, 2014

The Washington State Board of Education (SBE) has announced that Shorecrest High School in Shoreline is one of 42 recipient schools of the first-ever English Language Acquisition Award.

English Language Learner (ELL) students are the fastest growing subgroup in the state, with more than 70 languages being spoken by Shoreline students. Six percent of District students participate in ELL, with 18 percent speaking another language at home.

According to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction’s (OSPI) K12 Report Card, the number of ELL students increased 30 percent between May 2005 and May 2013.

The board created the language acquisition award to recognize schools whose ELL students are making the greatest progress toward the goal of becoming proficient in English, which is a stepping-stone to career and college-readiness. 

“Language acquisition is an indicator of school success and deserves to be acknowledged,” explained Board Chair Dr. Kristina Mayer. “We want to shine the light on what is working so it can be replicated across the state. The board will work with OSPI and other partners to support award-winning schools in sharing their strategies and best practices.”

Shorecrest is working to implement a Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model of instruction in which English learners receive support in ELL-specific classes as needed, as well as SIOP content area classes, which integrate language development alongside content instruction in classes where teachers provide sheltered instruction in Social Studies, English Language Arts and Science.

The school has also designated a SIOP/ELL Program Lead Teacher who supports colleagues and provides building leadership related to English learners. 

ELL students at Shorecrest and across the state were assessed on the Washington English Language Proficiency Assessment (WELPA). The award recognizes approximately the top five percent of elementary, middle, and high schools (who have assessed 20 or more students) based on the school’s median point gain on the 2012-13 WELPA.

Award-winning schools must also have met 2012-13 Annual Measurable Achievement Objective (AMAO) 1 and AMAO 2 federal accountability targets. There are two award categories based on the number of students who took the WELPA, small programs (20 to 99 students) and large programs (100 plus students).

These schools not only deliver high quality instruction to all of their students, they also provide instructional services to support their ELL students, preparing them to transition out of language programs and achieve academic success.

April 1 Workshop for artists: Selling your work and yourself to customers

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council is hosting the third of three workshops to help artists who are interested in selling their work at festivals. These workshops are appropriate for both first time festival artists, or seasoned festival sellers who would like to increase sales and learn some new tricks.

This final workshop will be held at the Shoreline Center Arden Room and will start at 6:30pm. The workshop fee is $10.

April 1, 6:30pm
Shoreline Center: Arden Room
Art/Business Workshop: Session 3
Becoming a Festival Standout: Selling your work and yourself to customers
Tickets $10 available online

This session will cover: telling your story, learning to listen, and artist etiquette in the arts festival environment.

Are you new to the art of art festivals (or returning and want to learn a few new tricks)? Want to get a better handle on balancing your art and your business in a festival venue? As we near the start of the 2014 summer festival season, the coordinators for the Shoreline Arts Festival's Artist Marketplace, Jody McCrain & Sella Rush, offer their perspective on the festival scene, share their successes and secrets, and hopefully spark new ideas for you.

Art Council Publicity staffer Lorie Hoffman will be on hand to answer questions specific to the Shoreline Arts Festival.

About the Instructors:

Jody McCrain
Co-founder of McCrain Photography, Jody McCrain has been involved with the art festival world for the past nine years. She and her husband, Phil McCrain, have participated in many local and regional festivals throughout the Northwest.

Deadline for Edible Books extended - be part of the fun

The Edible Book Festival is a fun competition
Bring your creation to Third Place Commons Saturday

The deadline for registration for the Edible Food Festival has been extended to Thursday - but actually, you can just show up.

The Edible Book Festival, this Saturday at Third Place Commons in Lake Forest Park, is all about fun, food, literacy - and quite a few puns.

Bibliophiles, book artists and food lovers are uniting to create edible books that are exhibited, documented, and then consumed! Edible books are made of food and inspired by a book or pun on a book title.

How about Goodnight Moon? That would be a fun one to recreate on a sheet cake.

This March 29 event will be held from 11am – 3pm, and is free and open to the public. 

Your creation should be inspired by a book, but made out of edible ingredients. It may look like a book, tablet or scroll, or be completely unique. Entries may be sweet or savory, but it's probably not a good idea to use perishable food. Sorry - but that leaves out Green Eggs and Ham, Hamlet, and The Egg and I. Stone Soup might be ok if you can keep it warm. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is probably out.

Heidi? Start with a round cake that puffed up in the middle. Cover it with chocolate frosting covered with those long chocolate sprinkles. Make a kind of head shape and four feet and a tail. Call it Hidey. And be sure to scatter sprinkles around the plate, those bear skin rugs shed.

Take pART in your community!
Kids are invited to participate and age categories have been set up: K-6 grade, and 7-12 grade. Grades K-6 and 7th-12th will both be judged for the Best Edible Artist in their age group

If you know you'll be participating, register the title of your creation with Name - Age and Level - Title of your Edible Book

Books will be judged in the following categories for adults
1. Most PUNderful
2. Most Appetizing
3. Most three-dimensional/architectural
4. Most literal depiction of the book title

This one could be flat or three dimensional. A small bottle of tequila and a black bird. Tequila Mockingbird.

Everyone present can vote for the People’s Choice Award. 

Here's the schedule:

  • 11:00am – Check in. Bring your creation, the book that was your inspiration, and serving utensils to Third Place Commons.
  • 12:00pm – Judging, Viewing, & Documenting, including judging for the People’s Choice award!
  • 1:00pm – All ballots handed in.
  • 1:15pm – Prizes awarded!
  • 1:30pm – ALL EDIBLE BOOKS WILL BE CONSUMED! (with punch and coffee)

Many thanks to partners, Friends of Third Place Commons and Third Place Books, for the donation of prizes.

Free screenings of student film on SCC campus April 2

The Shoreline Film Office, a collaborative effort to expand digital media production in Shoreline led by Shoreline Community College and the City of Shoreline and, is hosting the first two public screenings of “Pacific Aggression,” a film written and directed by Shoreline CC (and Shorewood) alum Shaun Scott.

‘Pacific Aggression,’ Wednesday, April 2 at 4:30pm and 7:30pm, Shoreline Community College Theater. A free event “The Shoreline Film Office is amazing,” said Scott, the Washington Filmworks Innovation Award Winner. “I was given affordable office and rehearsal space, students worked on my production, and I shot many scenes in Shoreline.”

Tony Doupé, of Shoreline’s Performance Arts/Digital Film Program, said having such projects on campus and in the city is one of the benefits of the Shoreline Film Office. “Having Shaun back on campus inspires our students,” Doupé said.

The film was also made possible in part by a Shoreline Business Mini-Grant, which awards grants to artists like Scott who partner with Shoreline businesses. Scott teamed with Isaac Meek, founder and owner of Shoreline’s Undercaste Studios, a recording, mixing, and masking studio of pop, hip hop, R&B, and electronic music.

“Pacific Aggression” follows a blogger’s pursuit of happiness that climaxes in Seattle when he tries saving his girlfriend from her addiction to social networking websites. It is a highly stylized tour of the times as framed by technology in the 21st Century, starring local talents Erwin Galan, Mark Waldstein, Trevor Young Marston and Marya Sea Kaminski along with Gerald Grissette, who is also appearing in a just-finished film starring Kim Bassinger.

Scott will curate the 4:30pm screening of Pacific Aggression by showing the film in segments with commentary and Q&A. The uninterrupted 7:30pm screening will be followed by a talk-back. Pacific Aggression will likely be rated PG-13 with its expected release in September.

The public screenings are free and limited to the capacity of the Shoreline Theater. There is a small charge for on campus parking.

HistoryLink: Rat City Rollergirls stage their first official bout on March 26, 2005.


Rat City Rollergirls stage their first official bout on March 26, 2005.

On March 26, 2005, the Rat City Rollergirls, Seattle's pioneering female roller derby league, stages its first official bout. The scene is Southgate Roller Rink in White City. The crowd is unexpectedly big and predictably loud, fired up by free beer and the rowdy antics of skaters racing and belting each other around the flat track. The night is a rousing start for a league that will soon outgrow two venues and become a national leader in its sport.

Getting Organized

From roller derby's highest profile days in the 1970s, when it featured both men and women on a banked track and was televised on more than 100 stations, the sport had faded from sight. But in the early 2000s, a group of Texas women created a flat-track version with loud music, fierce aliases, a little face paint, and lots of female-on-female shoving. A Seattle woman, Lilly Warner (b. 1976), learned about it in 2003 when she met one of the Texas Rollergirls in Austin, and decided to bring the sport to the Northwest. Warner and two friends, Rahel Cook (b. 1971) and Katie Merrell (b. 1972), became the founders of the Rat City Rollergirls.

They began recruiting members in late March 2004, and soon had enough to form committees to handle tasks such as marketing and scheduling. They added a logo featuring a tough- and sexy-looking woman with a black eye. They filed for a state business license and started selling merchandise. Their members paid monthly dues. Some had to learn to skate. Most needed to learn the rules of roller derby. And all needed to practice, which they did at Southgate Roller Rink in White Center.

Before they had appeared in public, a story in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer described the Rat City Rollergirls as "a little bit punky, a little bit naughty and a good bit athletic," and quoted Warner as saying they planned to have bands play at their bouts and expected to generate crossover appeal for musicians and artists (Dizon). On February 20, 2005, they staged an exhibition bout. They were divided among four teams -- Derby Liberation Front, Grave Danger, Sockit Wenches, and Throttle Rockets -- and were, as a boxing announcer might say, ready to rumble.

Front-page Coverage

They didn't know what to expect in terms of a crowd for their first real bout. To help boost the gate, they advertised free beer. Tickets sold out within 24 hours, and the line waiting to get inside wrapped around the rink. Attendance was reported as 600. The crowd witnessed an unconventional delivery of the national anthem, fist-pumping team introductions, six striped-shirted referees in helmets and knee and elbow pads just like the skaters, a statistics crew, and an announcer offering exuberant play-by-play commentary. Fans were loud and close to the action.

The Seattle P-I covered the event with a story and two photos on its front page, the story continuing on an inside page with five more photos. The headline was "Female Hellions on Wheels: Rollergirls’ First Wild Rumble Wins Hearts of Fans." Reporter Athima Chansanchai described the scene:

    "Under whirling red and blue lights, a legion of helmeted hellions on wheels rolled out Saturday night to a sold-out audience that eagerly anticipated the Rat City Rollergirls’ opening-season rumble at Southgate Roller Rink.

    "They weren't disappointed.

    "Clad in outrageous outfits, accompanied by marching mascots and a pulsating soundtrack, the queens of rollerama shoved, blocked and skated their way into the hearts of fans" (Chansanchai)

The first poster

Points in roller derby are scored by a skater designated as the jammer passing the opposing team's skaters during a series of two-minute jams. On that opening night, Derby Liberation Front beat the Sockit Wenches 86-37 and the Throttle Rockets beat Grave Danger 74-26. But points were almost beside the point. The crowd loved the campy theatrics and rough play.

Benjimen "Silvia O'Stay for More" Blair, a brawny figure with pompons and what looked like a fuzzy wig, sang the national anthem. Derby Liberation Front mascot "Rocketman Houllahan," wearing sunglasses and an Elvis-style jump suit, ran around waving a flag that said "Intergalactic Domination." About the Throttle Rockets-Grave Danger matchup, announcer Ricky Pajamas intoned, "They may come from the cold depths of outer space and the cold grave, but they've got a fire inside." Skaters caught breaking the rules were sent to an area inside the track where they had to hoist a sign saying "I’ve been a bad girl" (Chansanchai).

The skaters wore short skirts, some adding torn fishnet pantyhose or garish makeup. All participants, including the officials, had nicknames. Coach Pam Stockman was Farrah Toss-It. The Derby Liberation Front’s Sue Schmitz was Darth Skater. "There are so many awesome personalities," Schmitz said. "We’re all a bunch of sisters having fun kicking butt. ... I feel like I was meant to rollerderby" (Chansanchai).

Going Places

The Rat City Rollergirls staged two more bouts at Southgate Roller Rink, both of them sellouts. For the rest of that 2005 inaugural season and through 2007, their bouts were at Hangar 27 at Magnuson Park, where they drew crowds of up to 3,000. After a forced relocation to smaller Hangar 30, in 2009 they landed at Seattle Center’s KeyArena. They averaged more than 4,000 fans for their first five seasons there and in 2010 set a national attendance record of 6,800.

The Seattle league was one of five founding members of the national Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, and for its first nine years one of the highest-ranked by the nation’s skaters. There were hundreds of women’s roller derby leagues in late 2013, when the Rat City Rollergirls were preparing for their 10th season. Most of their original skaters had retired, but the league’s boisterous appeal continued with a growing roll of names such as Morning Gory, Drew Blood, Punchin’ Judy, and Lady Die.

Team Pronto Robotics and the FIRST Robotics event at Shorewood

Over 2,000 people attended the 3 day event at Shorewood
Here, the teams gather in The Commons
Photo by Wesley Proudlove

By Wesley Proudlove

What a great time was had by all this past Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Shorewood FIRST robotics event. 33 teams from all over the state arrived Thursday afternoon and right away they got started getting their robots through tech inspection along with building team pits in our auxiliary gym. Teams all worked until 10pm Thursday getting ready to compete first thing Friday morning. 

Your Team Pronto had a rough start, losing their first two matches, then a tie in another match. This didn't affect our students as they have been behind before and knew they could easily rattle off some wins to catch up. By late afternoon Friday things started to come together. Pronto collected some wins and we started to climb the leader board. We ended Friday with a record of 4-4-1 -- not impressive but enough to get us into 16th place overall. 

The team came back energized on Saturday with a goal to make it into one of the top eight positions so we could create our own alliance and destiny in the finals later that day. Pronto started out hard with a win that was soon followed up with another, then another win. Chuck the Robot had really started to move, the drive team had worked out its concerns, and all was running smoothly. When the qualifying matches were done, Pronto had moved up into 6th place -- good enough to allow us to pick our own alliance teams for the final rounds. 

Team Pronto and Chuck the Robot
 
Pronto's head scout had a plan and she stuck to it to find teams that complemented our robot and drive team so we could score as many points as possible without being too defensive so as to save our robot from damage. All final matches are the best 2 out of 3. In the first quarter-final match, a freak jamming of the ball into Chuck's shooting mechanism left us without the ability to score. With this first loss behind them, Pronto started up on match 2 of the quarter-finals and outscored the opposing alliance. With a new vigor, the team took the field for the 3rd and final quarter-final match and the scoring didn't stop. Pronto scored 199 points, over-doubling the other alliance's point total. Pronto was on the way to the semi-finals.

Pronto knew the semi-finals were not going to be a push-over so their alliance came out firing from the first possession and never looked back. Pronto's alliance again way out-scored the opposing teams. This left just one win to make it to the finals. In the second match of the semis, Pronto's alliance didn't let up and continued to score at will, winning their semi-final games to lead them to the finals.

There is only 5 minutes between semi-final rounds and the finals so Pronto had to make some fast decisions as to what to do with a drivetrain problem that had come up with Chuck. Through quick thinking, the students found a broken wire to a wheel controller and replaced in on the way to the field. 

The scoring rampage that Team Pronto's alliance had been on was being well observed by the other teams that would compete against Pronto. The final matches soon became a game of pinning Chuck against the walls with two robots and not allowing him to break free and score. Through the double teaming, Chuck started to show some concerns as his drive motors overheated and slowed any movement to a crawl. Even at a crawl, the drivers and Chuck were scoring not in triple digits like before but into the 90s. Pronto ended up losing in the finals, but what a battle was fought to get them there.

Team Pronto was awarded the second place trophy at the closing ceremonies and to their surprise was also awarded a national engineering award for the vacuum suction arm used to pick up balls off the field of play. Both of these awards will add to Pronto's point total to make it to Portland for the regional event. 

Coming into the Shorewood event Pronto was ranked 43rd out of 150 teams in our region. After the event Pronto had climbed to 15th in the region almost assuring a trip to the event in Portland in April. The team members, mentors and families would like to send out a great big thanks to Shorewood administration for allowing us to have this event here.

Shoreline celebrates Earth Hour

Once again, all non-essential City Hall lights will be turned off during Earth Hour on Saturday, March 29. Since 2007, World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour event has inspired individuals, communities and businesses around the world to turn off their lights for one hour to help protect our planet from climate change. Although the City models this type of energy efficiency year-round in its buildings, all non-essential City Hall lights will be turned off during Earth Hour.

Awareness of our environmental challenges and the commitment to act sustainably have increased to the point that people in 7,000 cities in 154 countries on all seven continents participated in the 2013 event.

Shoreline invites all residents and businesses to help make a difference by turning off all non-essential lights from 8:30pm to 9:30pm Pacific time on Saturday, March 29.

Dolphins took on a long weekend with 6 games playing 51 total innings to find the right line up before heading into Northern Region play. Shoreline came out with two wins and four losses to have an overall record of 4-6.

Starting the weekend with their first road trip of the season the Dolphins had a tough day at Yakima Valley Community College. Shoreline struggled from the mound giving up four runs right off and as many as seven in one inning. Shoreline suffered two rough losses with scores of 15-6 and 10-0.

Shoreline was back in shape for Saturday's games to finish the series with Yakima Valley. In game one of the day the Dolphins were the first to get on the board with a RBI single by Josh Fitch (Mountlake Terrace HS) to bring Chase Kairis (Mount Si HS) home. The Yaks responded right back with a home run by Andrew Castillo. Shoreline couldn't respond and the Yaks kept a steady momentum scoring three more for a final score of 4-1.

Unwilling to be swept the Dolphins came back in the second game with great enthusiasm. Bradley Spencer (Montsano Jr-Sr HS) was strong at the mound holding the Yaks to the runs earning his first win this season. Shoreline had a big fourth inning scoring three runs and taking the lead! Dylan Wade (O'Dea HS) started the inning with a single, followed by a double from Sam Ballweg (Cedarcrest HS). Darwin Bean (Glacier Peak HS) then hit a RBI single to score Wade. Catcher Casey Fithian (Eastlake HS) had a RBI sacrifice hit to bring Ballweg home. Finally Cody Wolfe (South Kitsap HS) hit a RBI single to run in Bean.

Josh Lang (Henry M. Jackson HS) came in for the 8th inning to hold the lead and Josh Fitch received the save keeping the Yaks scoreless in the ninth inning. Fitch played three different positions on Saturday helping the Dolphins at short stop, second and from the mound.

On Sunday, the Dolphins took on a new opponent from the Southern Region the Chemeketa Storm. In game one Kairis started the game for the Dolphins pitching his first collegiate game.

It was a tight game with teams trading RBI doubles by the Storm's Gerhett Moser and Jorgen Arneson (Edmonds-Woodway HS) until the Dolphins opened up the game in the fourth inning. Shoreline had five players walked, combined with a double by Mitch Hoveke (West Linn HS, Portland OR) and two singles from Wolfe and Ballweg the Dolphins scored seven runs to make it a 8-1 game.

In the sixth inning Chemeketa's Brenden Shaff scored a home run in an effort to rally but it was matched by Sam Herzer's (Meadowdale HS) RBI double. Shoreline won with a final score of 9-2.

In the final game of the weekend Shoreline started the game with an early run from Wolfe. Unfortunately, that was the last run from the Dolphins and they suffered a tough third inning. A few costly mistakes scored three runs for the Storm leaving the final score at 3-1 Storm.

With a variety of lineups over the weekend the Dolphins look to have found the right one moving into Northern Region play. They will take on the top North team the Edmonds Tritons this weekend, travelling to Edmonds on Saturday and then returning to Meridian Park to finish the series on Sunday, March 30th. Both doubleheaders will begin at 1:00pm.

On the Mayor’s Mind

Shoreline Mayor Shari Winstead
On the Mayor’s Mind
By Shoreline Mayor Shari Winstead

Spring is here! And everyone seems to be enjoying a bit of Spring fever. Bits of color are decorating our yards and the Shoreline Ponies will soon have daffodils dancing at their feet! 

A couple of weeks ago, on one of those blue-sky, surprisingly warm afternoons, I decided to go for a run. I live pretty close to the Interurban Trail, so my run is pretty much always the same. Let me first note that for me, a “run” is really a jog, interspersed with walking. The goal is to breathe fresh air, wake up my heart, and break a sweat. 

So there I was, listening to some upbeat music (“Happy” is my new fave!) and feeling great about the sun shining in my face, when another runner (a tall man, actually “running”) approaches me, and holds up his hand to give me a “high five”! What?! This was awesome! It was somewhat hard to believe that our common experience of being outside and using the Interurban Trail had created a connection worthy of a high five. I didn’t know him, and I’m sure he didn’t know me, (because I rarely look like my official photo!) But the high five and his smile said it all, “isn’t it great to be outside, and moving our bodies!” 

A former gym teacher used to say, “be grateful you’re able”. And I am truly grateful that I can be physically active, and grateful to live in an amazing city with the Interurban Trail. I’m especially grateful for fellow citizens with a good attitude and who are happy to share a smile and a high five. 

So it’s time to come out of winter hybernation, get reacquainted with our neighbors, and take our activities outside. Shoreline is kicking off May with a new challenge - the Million Step Challenge at Paramount Park! Check out the website and lace up your sneakers! And once again in June we will be climbing the stairs at Saltwater Park, this time with a goal of climbing 3 Million Stairs

If you want more information about the recreational happenings in Shoreline, check out the calendar of events or subscribe to Shoreline’s Park & Rec Department e-news.

And in case you need a little extra inspiration, the latest wellness research tells us that “sitting is the new smoking.” Shocking, hu? For people who sit most of the day, their risk of heart attack is about the same as smoking.

There is all kinds of data out there about how sitting is bad for your body. I realize it is impossible to stop sitting, but there are ways we can all sit less. Check out this article for the research, and more information and a few tips on how to get in a few more steps!

Choral singers invited to sing at memorial service for retired Shorecrest choral director Neil Lieurance

Neil Lieurance, longtime Shorecrest High School choral director and a member of the Washington Music Educators Association Hall of Fame, died Sunday at age 70 at his Shoreline home after a long illness.

Neil joined Shoreline Schools in 1965 and spent his entire career at Shorecrest, primarily teaching choral music, but also English and Special Education. He retired in 1993.

Neil's work as a music teacher contributed greatly to the ongoing pride and tradition of strong music education in the Shoreline School District.   His choirs at Shorecrest were repeatedly awarded the highest recognition and honors including "Best in the Northwest," and made several trips abroad.

Neil leaves a legacy of accomplishments that continue to enhance and sustain choral music in our schools and our community.

According to a notice in The Seattle Times:

A public Memorial will be held Sunday, March 30, 3:00pm, at Shorecrest High School Commons, 15343 25th Ave NE, Shoreline, WA 98155. 
All experienced choral singers are encouraged to join in singing together with Neil's friends in the Choir for the Memorial. The only rehearsal will be held in the Shorecrest Commons on the day of the Memorial, March 30, from 1:15 to 2:30. Songs that were favorites of Neil have been chosen. They will be easy to learn and appropriate for the memorial. Sheet music will be provided at the rehearsal.

Northshore Fire Department honors retiring Firefighter Tim Wooldridge

Firefighter Tim Wooldridge
The Northshore Fire Department is celebrating Firefighter Tim Wooldridge, who is retiring after serving the fire district for more than 35 years, beginning as a volunteer in November of 1979. Wooldridge was hired as a fulltime firefighter in August of 1981.

“Tim Wooldridge was a local kid who attended Inglemoor High School and practically grew up at the Kenmore Fire Station. He followed his father, the late Ron Wooldridge, into the fire service who was also a volunteer firefighter for the fire district for more than 20 years. Tim knew very early his dream job was to be a Firefighter and he worked towards that goal as soon as he graduated from Inglemoor,” Northshore Fire Chief Jim Torpin said.

Wooldridge will work his last shift on March 24, at Station 57 in Lake Forest Park. The Northshore Fire Department appreciates the many years of dedicated service he provided to the community. Wooldridge plans on enjoying his retirement by spending more time with his wife Jolene and his adult children.

Dispose of unwanted medicine safely at Lake Forest Park Police Department

Unused medications pose a risk to our families, communities and the environment. Don’t store unused medications, flush them or throw them in the trash.


Safely dispose of your unused medications free of charge at the Lake Forest Park Police Department on the second floor of City Hall. Simply bring your leftover medicines to the Police Department window and the clerks will give you instructions on how to use the green Se
cure Medicine Disposal box in the second floor lobby.

Reliable studies suggest that anywhere from 10 – 30 percent (hundreds of thousands of pounds) of all drugs go unused. Once they become leftovers, medicines designed to improve our lives can become devastating destroyers. About ½ of the 37,000 phone calls to the Washington Poison Center concern young children who have been poisoned by medicines found at home.

The problem goes beyond drug abuse and accidental poisoning. Leftover medicine is toxic waste and when it’s flushed, poured down the drain or dumped in the garbage it can end up polluting our waters, hurting aquatic life and contaminating food and water supplies.

The Lake Forest Park Police Department is located on the second floor of City Hall at the intersection of Ballinger (SR 104) and Bothell Way (SR522).
