The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s virtual Gala for the Arts.

President extends National Guard orders in states; Case updates May 28

National Guard will continue their work in the state
Photo courtesy National Guard
Thursday President Trump announced his intent to extend the Title 32 orders through mid-August. 

The President’s current authority provides governors continued command of their National Guard forces, while being 100% federally funded under Title 32, enabling these states to use the additional resources to meet the missions necessary in the whole-of-America COVID-19 response. 

Each state’s National Guard is still under the authority of the Governor and is working in concert with the Department of Defense. In the days ahead, FEMA will work with the Department of Defense and the states to extend validated mission assignments to carry out the President’s direction. More information here.

Another 358 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Washington, bringing the total number of cases to 20,764, including 1,106 deaths

Shoreline police warn residents about phone scam

Shoreline police are not calling you!
Photo by Steven H. Robinson

Thursday, the Shoreline Police Department  was inundated with phone calls about someone calling residents saying he was Lt. Travis Pitch, with the Shoreline Police Department. 

He claims to have an urgent legal matter that he needs to discuss with them. 

If the resident calls back or talks to him, he tells them they have missed a summons of some kind and there is a warrant out for their arrest.

He tells them they need to take care of it by paying a fine by either gift cards, wiring money, or some other means, sometimes bitcoin.

The number he is calling from, 206-492-8491, comes back to an internet phone line.

Police are looking into this. In the meantime, please be aware this is a scam!

There's a version of the same scam where the caller claims to be from a utility and says your power will be shut off because you missed a payment. That one is particularly potent under the current circumstances. Utilities won't call - they will flood you with mailed reminders and try to work something out with you.

In another version, the caller will tell you that you missed jury duty and you have to pay a fine immediately or you will be arrested.

What they are all counting on is scaring you enough that you act before thinking. The people calling the police Thurday were aware enough to check it out. If you didn't call the police and did get caught, see if you can stop the payment and then file a police report.

WeatherWatcher: June Gloom on the way, very slight chance of thunderstorms

Clouds over the Puget Sound September 16, 2019.
Photo by Carl Dinse

June Gloom: We have one more day of warm dry weather before the return of a more seasonable pattern arrives. Friday should be a partly sunny day with a lot of high clouds in the area. We will likely top out in the mid to upper 70's, pretty close to what we saw on Thursday.

Saturday morning the weather pattern changes, with a cool down and rain showers moving in. There has been some uncertainty in the transition. If the cool down is rapid enough, there is a slight chance that we could see a thunderstorm or two move through the area. High temperatures on Saturday are expected to stay in the 60's with lows near 50°F or the upper 40's.

Saturday night could see another type of weather we haven't seen in a while, wind. Though I think most of the wind action will likely be south of downtown Seattle, we are expecting winds as strong as 30mph Saturday night or early Sunday morning.

Sunday morning and afternoon more rain is expected, but it should start to taper off by the later afternoon hours on Sunday, with a high temperature in the mid to upper 60's.

Monday morning through Tuesday morning skies will break off to partly cloudy with dry weather, continuing the trend of upper 60's for a high temperature and lows in the upper 40's to near 50°F.

Tuesday afternoon through the end of the week the chance of showers returns with mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures might increase a little to the lower 70's for highs.

Longer range forecasts seems to be trending to the typical June-like weather of partly to mostly cloudy skies with the chance of showers into the middle of the month. There are some indications we could enter a drier pattern in the second half of the month, but it's far too early to be certain.

Washington ESD Tips on Unemployment Insurance

Rep. Pramila Jayapal shared these tips from the state Employment Security Department


Washington ESD’s new initiative is designed to help get benefits to everyone who is eligible and to get through their backlog of claims.

ESD has these tips for callers making unemployment insurance claims to make sure the process goes smoothly:
  • File your weekly claims. Many people who are eligible and qualified for benefits haven’t filed weekly claims. If you’ve already applied for unemployment benefits but have not yet filed a weekly claim, be sure to file your weekly claim and check out this useful information first before doing so. That will ensure you get through as smoothly as possible.
  • Apply for expanded benefits. If you applied for regular unemployment insurance and were deemed ineligible, you may be eligible for the new expanded unemployment benefit called Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA). Check out this guide before you apply.
  • Answer the phone: The Employment Security Department (ESD) team members are reaching out and calling people to resolve their cases.
  • Check your spam filter for emails and check your e-services account for notes from ESD asking for information. In some cases, they’ve reached out and haven’t heard back.
  • If you’re new to making a claim — be prepared and use their materials — which have been downloaded more than a quarter million times. The checklist and the guide will help. And, before you hit submit on your application, make sure that the information is correct.

Reporting Fraud

Washington ESD has seen a spike in fraudulent Unemployment Benefits claims, where bad actors are stealing identifying information and using it to apply for UI. Visit their website for more information on how to submit a complaint of fraud.

Remember that the federal government will never ask you to confirm your personal information via email or telephone. Do not open emails or give any personal information to anyone claiming to be able to process any CARES Act related benefits, including your direct cash payments.

Undetected by law enforcement, a vicious killer has been hunting women, using genetic data to select and stalk his targets. Uncovering the murkiest corners of the dark web, Jack races to find and protect the last source who can lead him to his quarry. But the killer has already chosen his next target, and he's ready to strike.

Save the orcas? Save the bees

Native bee in rhododendron
Photo by Mike Remarcke

Did you know that 600+ bee species call Washington State home? Did you know that the majority of them are native bee species?

While none of our native bees make honey, or live in hives, native bees are the most important pollinators of wild plants, helping to maintain ecosystem diversity.

In addition, bees are essential to feed the world’s growing human population: On average, one out of every three bites of food people eat needs a pollinator to reproduce!

Bees also pollinate most of the plants growing next to streams that provide shade to keep our creeks, streams and rivers cool – no bees, no salmon!!

Want to save orcas? Save the bees!

Outdoor religious ceremonies approved for Phase 1 counties



Beginning now, religious and faith-based organizations in Phase 1 counties (King) may host up to 100 people for outdoor services.

In Phase 2, (see previous article) they can host up to 25% of their capacity or 50 individuals, whichever is less, as well as conduct in-home services of five people. The guidance, which includes weddings and funerals, is available here.

The religious services covered include all worship services, religious study classes, religious ceremonies, religious holiday celebrations, weddings, and funerals. 

Choirs are not allowed, but singing may be done with face coverings. This is because the virus is transmitted through breathing: The louder voices are projected, the farther germs travel.

Organizations will be expected to meet requirements to protect employees, members, visitors and volunteers. These requirements include protections such as social distancing and face coverings, environmental cleaning, providing PPE, and educating employees about COVID-19 and how to prevent transmission.

“We, the Catholic Bishops of the State of Washington, are encouraged by the governor’s directives today allowing people of faith to resume public worship. 
"These directives are evidence of the good fruits which are born from patient dialogue and commitment to the public health and the common good,” said the Catholic Bishops of the State of Washington in a joint statement.

Local Shorecrest high school student rallies community to raise $235 and 3,125 pounds of food for Hopelink

Wednesday, May 27, 2020

Sorted and boxed for delivery to Hopelink's Kirkland distribution center


Concerned about the rising number of local families struggling to put food on the table, Ian Prosser, a sophomore at Shorecrest High School and 17-year resident of Shoreline, decided he should step up.

“I just felt compelled. Food insecurity may seem like an invisible problem to a lot of people, but it’s not. I don’t have to look too far or too close to see my school friends and neighbors are hurting right now,” said Prosser.
Volunteers unload the bags of donated food

As the coronavirus slows business and thousands of Seattle workers lose jobs, emergency support services are being stretched thin.



Seeing an opportunity to help, Prosser organized a five-hour rally on May 16, 2020 where local residents could drop off food donations at the Shoreline School District’s office parking lot and save a trip to Hopelink’s distribution center in Kirkland.

The event raised $235 and 3,125 pounds of food to support the community’s housing insecure and low-income families.

Bruce, Julia, Ian, and Michael Prosser


He recruited his mother, Julia Prosser, to help coordinate the event. 

“I am amazed at the amount of support we received,” said Mrs. Prosser. “Our high school students were up and ready to go at 7:00am on a Saturday. Can’t say that normally happens in my household!” 

PTA Council co-president, Silje Sodal, played a key role securing the location and providing a contact list of community groups willing to help. Sodal also served as the primary liaison between the food drive committee and the school district.

Volunteers pose for a group shot

Special thanks go to the more than 35 volunteers from the Shoreline PTA Council, Shoreline School District, Shoreline Rotary, Shoreline Community Church and students from Shorecrest, Shorewood, and Sammamish high schools.

“I’m so thankful to everyone who volunteered and donated,” added Prosser. “It just goes to show anyone can make a difference if they want.”

The remaining old Einstein can be seen in the upper left with the blue panels. The new school was constructed behind the old school.

Classes were still be held in the old buildings until the COVID-19 shutdown. It was originally planned that students would be moved into the new building at the beginning of the fall 2020 school year.

The new school will house 6th -7th- 8th graders. There will be a protected central courtyard. Note the arrays of solar panels on the roof.
