R/V Roger Revelle is operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography under a charter agreement with the Office of Naval Research. Roger Revelle is one of six major oceanographic research vessels owned by the U.S. Navy and operated within the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System as shared-use research facilities.

The National Science Foundation is the primary U.S federal agency supporting research at the frontiers of knowledge, across all fields of science and engineering (S/E) and all levels of S/E education. Important support for research vessel operations at Scripps Institution of Oceanography is supported by the National Science Foundation.

The vessel's suite of shared-use instrumentation is carefully maintained and regularly upgraded to offer scientists the most capable sensors available.

Roger Revelle hosts the Hydrographic Doppler Sonar System (HDSS), a one-of-a-kind hull-mounted long-range dual-frequency (50-140 kHz) Doppler sonar that measures current shear at much higher resolution than commercially-available Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs). Revelle offers outstanding navigation and station-keeping characteristics, with a modern dynamic positioning system coupled to a flexible and powerful propulsion system.

Other notable features of Roger Revelle include an EM122 deep-water multibeam mapping system featuring redundant motion sensors for failover protection, an X-band radar that measures surface wave properties, an advanced computer network with wired and wireless access for all scientists, triply-redundant (HiSeasNet, Fleet Broadband, 3G cellular) off-ship internet connections that provide uninterrupted web access, and a robust suite of modern, well-maintained sensing systems.

These capabilities, in addition to a suite of underway instruments, result in a capable and highly adaptable platform for scientific research across all disciplines of marine science.

Notes from Shoreline City Council meeting 09-17-2018

Shoreline City Council
By Pamela Cross

The September 17th Council meeting began with Mayor Will Hall declaring September 22, 2018 as “Mayor’s Day of Concern for the Hungry. ” 

One in four people in Shoreline suffer from food insecurity. This proclamation recognizes Shoreline residents’ continued support of Hopelink and other nonprofits providing food assistance.

The court calendar noted this is Welcoming Week for all new residents with several scheduled activities. Details are available on the City’s webpage.

The Mayor reported that at the recent meeting of the Association of Washington Cities, Eastern Washington cities have acknowledged that homelessness is not limited to Western Washington. This should be helpful in working with the State to develop ways to address this problem.

The Agenda and Consent Calendars were approved unanimously. There were no public comments.

The study item was the preliminary financial report for 2019-2020. Staff provided the estimates based on historical numbers and other guidelines. Staff advised that questions from Council will be added to a matrix for study and adjustment to the preliminary figures. There will be multiple staff and public council meetings continuing the conversation until the projected November 19, 2018 planned acceptance date.

The questions from Councilmembers included:
  • Why has the funding of the Aurora median retrofit been removed?
This funding was to replace narrow areas of the median with concrete to make it easier for the subcontractor to maintain. The City has decided to do the maintenance itself rather than subcontract it, and will monitor the ability to keep the current configuration rather than replace areas with concrete. The funding for maintenance is already in the budget.

  • Why is the addition of another police officer not scheduled until 2020? We are below our target of 1 officer per 1,000 citizens. Is this target realistic, or just used as a comparison to other cities? Is an additional officer needed, or is there another reason for (complaints about) slow police response time and other police issues?
  • What is the reason for the (new Green City) contract with Forterra? What are they adding to services already provided by others?
  • Part of the money from the general fund goes to road and sidewalk maintenance. Why is this amount being reduced by half? This represents less than 2% of the money in City Reserves. Is the expense for updated aerial photos of the City necessary when they are available on the internet for no charge? The City needs to balance the needs for the infrastructure as well as human resources, affordable housing and drug addiction which are also financed through the general fund.
  • The School District wants another school resource officer. This shared cost will be discussed between the City and the School District at a 10/8 dinner meeting.
With all questions added to the Matrix, the Council meeting was concluded and Councilmembers stayed for an Executive Session.

Shoreline's first K9 unit is on duty

King County Deputy Josh Holmes and his K9 partner Atom

Photos by Wayne Pridemore

King County Deputy Josh Holmes and his K9 partner Atom completed their 440 hours of training in mid-August and went on the job with the Shoreline Police department August 31, 2018.

On their first day of patrol they were called to an assist on a stolen vehicle call, where the female suspect had fled on foot. Atom began tracking and located the female suspect in the back yard of the house, hiding in a shed. She was arrested and booked into jail.



The primary use of dogs is to track a suspect who has committed a crime and run from a Shoreline officer. Before, without a dog on the force, officers had to hold a perimeter and wait for a K9 from Unincorporated King County, or an outside agency.

"The longer a perimeter is held," says Shoreline Chief Shawn Ledford, "the more difficult it is to make an arrest."


Atom is friendly with the public, well behaved and all business when he’s working. Here he greets Dennis Terpstra at the Echo Lake Neighborhood Association picnic.





Atom is the third dog to train as a member of the K9 unit. The first two did not work out.

Shoreline Police have been focusing on property crimes, burglaries and car prowls; the K9 unit will help with those efforts. Additionally the K9 will be used for building searches, as Atom is able to cover a larger area faster and more thoroughly than multiple officers.

He will also be used for evidence searches if a suspect hides a weapon or other evidence. In the future, Atom will be trained in narcotics detection.

Atom lives with Deputy Holmes and has become part of the family.

Deputy Holmes is a Shoreline native and a graduate of the Shoreline Public School District (Ridgecrest Elementary, Kellogg Middle School and Shorecrest High School). Deputy Holmes also attended Shoreline Community College. He is an 11 year law enforcement veteran.

Shorewood football falls short versus Snohomish

The cheerleaders were high energy


Shorewood Football WesCo South 3A
9-14-18 at Snohomish

Snohomish 49
Shorewood 21

Q1Q2Q3Q4Total
Shorewood077721
Snohomish72171449

As with many things in life, one small action can seemingly change a whole interconnected series of events. For the Shorewood Thunderbirds playing at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Snohomish versus the Snohomish Panthers Friday, September 14th, it was giving up a touchdown on the second play of the game. It wasn’t a dramatic play - merely a short go route down the left sideline - the coverage was just a bit off - but enough to give the Panthers receiver a small step - and he was off for a 60 yard score. The small action knocked the wind out of a confident Shorewood team, which came into the game after two solid outings - and the T-birds never fully recovered.

David Snell passes to Joseph Williamson for a big gain


But, even with the score, there was something different about the demeanor of the T-birds. In years past, even getting down by one touchdown would cause the team to totally deflate - heads hanging low - a lack of fight draining from the players on the field. This week was different - a new level of resilience among Shorewood players. Maybe it was the dominate performance the week before over Meadowdale - or maybe it was the core belief that Shorewood could and would compete, no matter who the opponent was - but you would tell the game would continue to be a fight -- and Shorewood would battle till the end.

#5 Joseph Williamson evades a defender


As the game unfolded, Shorewood did not have an answer for the dominate running game put forth by Snohomish - as their tandem running backs were able to find crease after crease grinding the ball down the field on short and medium runs. Eventually, the defense was on the field too long and was just worn down.

On offense - Shorewood had flashes of solid offensive production -- senior Robert Banks sprinting for a 45 yard TD on 4th and 1, or junior Spencer Osborn snagging a 50 yard TD from senior QB David Snell. But in the end - it was minor mistakes - a fumble or a botched reverse on a kick return which gave Snohomish short fields and they capitalized.

SW fans made the trek to Snohomish to support their team!


The bottom line on this game - it will soon fade into memory, but the team should take pride in how they showed heart and fight till the end and use this setback as an opportunity to rebound against Shorecrest this coming Friday night when they play for the Shoreline Rotary Cup.

September 21st -- Shorewood (0-1 / 2-1) vs. WesCo South leading Shorecrest (2-0 / 3-0) - Shoreline District Stadium - 7pm.

Join state committee working to improve the lives of people with disabilities

Monday, September 17, 2018

If you’re interested in issues affecting people with disabilities and want to influence state decision makers, apply by September 30, 2018 to become a member of the Governor’s Committee on Disability Issues and Employment (GCDE).

The GCDE is currently recruiting members to fill three vacancies on the 27-member committee. The governor appoints new members to serve an initial three-year term, with an opportunity to be reappointed for a second term.

Committee members can live anywhere in Washington state and must be people with a disability, have family member(s) with a disability or work as an advocate for people with disabilities.

Members identify issues and concerns about the rights and needs of people with disabilities and make recommendations to the governor, Legislature, state agencies, business community, organized labor and other public and private organizations.

“Being a GCDE member has allowed me to contribute to statewide programs and activities that address my areas of interest: the challenges of people with disabilities, and related issues such as economic equity and social justice,” said Scott Bellman, GCDE committee member. 
“The GCDE also offers opportunities to collaborate with like-minded people to imagine new projects and get feedback on my ideas."

Committee members serve on subcommittees that work on a variety of projects, such as community outreach, the Youth Leadership Forum and an employer awards program.

Find more information and application materials on the Become a member page of the GCDE website. You also can learn about current members and committee projects.

Contact Elaine Stefanowicz at 360-902-9362 with questions.

The GCDE is administered by the Washington State Employment Security Department.

Thanks to an incredible outpouring of support from its partners, volunteers and supporters, the 2018 Back to School Consortium event was a huge success!

The event, which was held at Ridgecrest Elementary on Saturday, August 25, 2018 served 981 students from 420 families that live in the Shoreline School District boundary or attend a Shoreline / Lake Forest Park school.

Shoreline PTA Council’s Kim Ositis puts the finishing touches on the socks,
underwear, and hygiene products area


Each student received a new backpack, school supplies, underwear, socks, toothbrush and hygiene products. Additionally, each family received shampoo, conditioner, soap, and toothpaste.

A Better Day Salon and James Alan Salon provided free haircuts to help students look and feel their best for the start of the school year.

Volunteers set up sweatshirts by size. 
Attendees were able to take what they needed.


The Rotary Club of Lake Forest Park cooked and served hundreds of free hot dog lunches for families to enjoy while socializing and visiting the dozens of community resource booths.

PCC was one of the many community partners who participated in the vendor fair.


The resource booths, staffed by local businesses and service agencies, shared helpful information, resources and fun activities at the event.

Volunteers Natalie Sweeten-Radford, Superintendent of Shoreline
Schools Rebecca Miner, and Brad Tenney distributed backpacks to students
 

Backpacks and supplies were provided by community members who generously donated funds and/or school supplies to the event.

If you dropped a new backpack or school supplies into one of the yellow school bus donation boxes around town or donated funds directly to the event, you helped a Shoreline School District student start the school year off on the right foot.

Shorecrest Football Team helped The WORKS bring all of the socks, underwear,
hygiene, and clothes to Ridgecrest in preparation of the event.


Consortium members include: Center for Human Services, Hopelink, Dale Turner YMCA, City of Shoreline, Shoreline School District, Shoreline PTA Council’s The WORKS, Turning Point, Ronald United Methodist Church, Shoreline Community Care, Lake Forest Park Rotary, and The Salvation Army would like to thank all of the individuals and community groups who volunteered their time, including Shoreline Rotary.

Shorecrest and Shorewood students help return leftover socks, underwear,
and hygiene items to The WORKS after the event.


The Back to School Consortium wishes to thank the hundreds of people who donated their time, resources and funds to help make this event such a success and positive start to the school year for so many!

If you missed this event and need assistance with clothing or school supplies, please contact Jill at The WORKS at shorelineptaworks@gmail.com or leave a message at 206-393-4916.

Sound Transit early demolition continues

Early demolition work for the Lynnwood Link Extension continues on Sound Transit owned residential properties in Shoreline.

Four structures are in process of being removed on NE 148th St. The site is part of the NE 145th Shoreline South transit station.

As part of Sound Transit’s commitment to sustainability, authorized salvage companies removed materials prior to demolition and the contractor will recycle clean wood, metal, concrete and other usable demolition debris.

This early demolition work is an important step in the Lynnwood Link Extension. It will help clear the path for construction activities slated to begin in mid-2019 and minimize any potential unauthorized activity at these sites.

Previously, 19 houses were removed on 7th and 8th NE, north of 185th, the site of the 185th transit station.

Police at Shorewood Thursday out of "an abundance of caution"

Shorewood High School
On Thursday, September 13, 2018, police were at Shorewood High School, 17300 Fremont Ave N, Shoreline 98133.

The rumor at the school on Thursday among the students was that:

...the school had received a phone threat of possible gunfire at the school but the purported attacker was reported to the police by some people who knew him and the police found him and arrested him. The police also were supposed to have found guns and ammunition in his house. He was supposed to have been a student at the school. Officials didn’t close the school as they figured they had the incident under control.

Principal Bill Dunbar sent a notice to families on Wednesday evening, which apparently did not filter down to all the students.

This afternoon, we received an anonymous tip through our tip line that a threat had been made against the school. Law enforcement was immediately notified and investigated. 
They were able to identify the individual alleged to have made a threat and interviewed them this evening. Shoreline Police determined there was no threat to the school. 
While there is no threat to the school, police will pose an additional presence on school grounds tomorrow out of an abundance of caution.

WeatherWatcher: Normal temperatures, showers, and some sun early in the week

Rain in Ballinger Commons November 2011
Photo by Carl Dinse

Our longest streak since last June of below average temperatures continued this past week. We've had some hit and miss showers moving through the area generally all week.

Here's the temperature graph so far for the month:


Rain accumulation hasn't been too significant so far -- well below the average -- but the second half of the month could make up for it still.


For our forecast: The showers are expected to continue Sunday into Monday morning. There is even a slight chance of a thundershower during the afternoon and evening Sunday.

Monday - Wednesday we are expecting cloudy mornings to give way to sunny afternoons with temperatures reaching the mid-upper 60's. Clouds and showers return for Thursday through next weekend. Highs in the 60's and lows in the lower to mid 50's all week.
