Stay Connected: Campus Alerts
December 20, 2022
Due to the anticipated snowfall, and freezing temperatures, campus will operate remotely on Tuesday, December 20.
If you must come to campus on the 20th use extreme caution when driving and walking. While our ground crew will be hard at work, we don’t know exactly how much snow and ice will accumulate so the removal may take some time. Please observe all caution signs and DO NOT cross the caution tape. Exterior steps will likely be snowed over and icy so please use the ADA ramp or alternate entryway wherever possible.
All exterior doors will be locked so if you must be on campus, you will need your Edpass to gain entry. For everyone’s safety and situational awareness please notify Security if you plan to be in your building.
Staff, be sure to update your web pages with any changes to your service hours.

Timely Warning: You are receiving this timely warning in compliance with The Clery Act and because you are part of the Edmonds College community. Through awareness, we are working to keep our campus safe.
Late in the evening on Friday Dec. 9th the Title IX office received a report of Stalking. Clery defines stalking as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety, or the safety of others, or to suffer substantial emotional distress. Campus Security and the Title IX investigator met with the reporting person today and learned that the situation has been ongoing over the past several months.
The people involved met through shared interest social groups. After initial conversation and a request from the accused to begin a dating relationship the reporting person told them they were not interested in a relationship. The accused continued to reach out through many channels, and was repeatedly told to stop. In the past few days the reporting person became increasingly concerned about the ongoing overstepping of boundaries. The reporting person decided to seek help with safety planning and support for themselves. Campus Security has provided the reporting person with a variety of support resources to assist them in feeling safer on campus and as they go about their daily activities.
Any further details are being withheld to maintain the reporting persons privacy and would not enhance the information needed for campus safety.
Anyone with information about this incident or any crime should contact Campus Security at 425.754.0154 or via email to security24.7@edmonds.edu.
No one should need to state repeatedly that they do not wish contact with, or attention from, another person. It is always the full responsibility of the person reaching out to ensure their messages, contact, or presence is wanted by the other. When one person tells another they are uncomfortable with messages, social media contact, or attempts to relay messaging in any way, contact needs to end.
Consent is a vital part of any relationship. There are many times, especially in the context of intimate relationships, that consent cannot exist - for example if a person is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Students are encouraged to take precautions to enhance their safety, and to understand how to seek, and assure affirmative consent when seeking a relationship with another, as well as how to respect when consent has been denied or revoked. More information on consent can be found through the following organizations:
If you feel uneasy about a situation, trust your instincts and attempt to interrupt the chain of events. Create a distraction and involve others. If you are out with friends, make a commitment to ensure everyone has a safe way home.

At approximately 11:00am today, campus security received a call from a student reporting they had been sexually assaulted on December 1st. The survivor and offender are known to one another. The survivor reports that on December 1st at approximately 9pm someone they had been dating came to their residence hall room to visit. During their time in the residence hall, the offender engaged in intimate touching and sexual activity and was told to stop. The offender did not stop when directed to do so. The encounter was non-consensual. Any further details have been withheld to maintain survivor privacy and would not enhance the information needed for campus safety. Sexual assault of any kind is always the full responsibility of the offender.
Anyone with information about this incident or any crime should contact Campus Security at 425.754.0154 or via email to security24.7@edmonds.edu.
Campus Security has provided the survivor with a variety of support resources to assist them in feeling safer on campus and as they go about their daily activities.
Safety Information and Protective Steps
- Consent is a vital part of any intimate encounter with another. There are many times that consent cannot exist - for example if a person is under the age of 18 or is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- It is estimated that in the United States one out of six women and one in thirty-three men have been the victim of rape or attempted rape. No matter the demographic, the most common type of sexual assault is not committed by a stranger, but by someone known to the survivor.
- Students are encouraged to take precautions to enhance their safety, and to understand how to seek, and assure affirmative consent during potentially intimate interactions with others, as well as how to respect when consent has been denied or revoked. More information on consent can be found through the following organizations:
- If you feel uneasy about a situation, trust your instincts and attempt to interrupt the chain of events. Create a distraction and involve others. If you are out with friends, make a commitment to ensure everyone has a safe way home.
- Survivors are encouraged to seek medical attention immediately, even if there are no obvious physical injuries. Receiving a sexual assault examination is free and conducted by a specially trained nurse at your local hospital. An examination does not obligate someone to any kind of investigation; however, it allows evidence to be collected and preserved in the event you choose to authorize a criminal investigation at a later time. More information on this process and other services for survivors of sexual assault can be found at https://www.providence.org/locations/wa/intervention-center-for-assault-and-abuse-everett
- In addition to seeking medical attention, there are other options for self-care after an assault, including contacting a confidential survivor advocate. More information about this and other options may be obtained here.

Campus Safety Bulletin: Report of catalytic converter thefts
You are receiving this bulletin because you are part of the Edmonds College community. Being more aware helps keep our campus community safer.
On the afternoon of March 21, 2022 at approximately 3:10 p.m. Campus Security received a report of a theft of a catalytic converter from a vehicle parked in Lot A. Review of cameras across campus revealed the same suspect vehicle then drove around to lot P near the Center for Families where a second theft occurred. Lynnwood Police Department was notified of each incident separately due to the time between the thefts and discovery of the second incident. They are investigating the reported thefts.
In the videos from campus security cameras, an orange colored, Ford F250 crew cab pickup truck entered Edmonds College at approximately 1:17 p.m. through 200th St. The vehicle then proceeded to parking lot A by Hazel Miller Hall, and parked next to a black Honda Element. The orange truck was there until 1:30 p.m. when it was seen leaving through 200th St.
The orange Ford F250 crew cab pickup truck has no front or back license plate. In place of the license plate there are two yellow signs with the words “GR8 DEAL.” Distinctive markings include a dark colored bed cover, a dual metal bar rack, and yellow/orange lights on top front of cab, as well as a small light bar towards the rear of the roof.
Suspects are seen on video. Suspect number 1 described as the driver, appears to be male, light skinned, seen without cap to have dark shorter hair, later wearing a black baseball cap with Nike logo, bright yellow construction style waterproof jacket and pants.
Suspect number 2 appears to be female, light skinned, camera shows light blonde hair, medium build, wearing a dark jacket, white shirt, jeans and white tennis shoes.
At approximately 1:21 p.m. the individuals parked in parking lot A next to the victim vehicle. The driver exits the vehicle and walks west towards Mill Creek Hall and then returns approximately 4 minutes later.
At approximately 1:24 p.m. the driver returns to the vehicle and a female exits the passenger side.
At approximately 1:25 p.m. the both individuals are seen trying to get under the victim's vehicle.
At approximately 1:30 p.m. both suspects return to their vehicle and proceed to leave campus via 200th St.
At approximately 1:33 p.m. the same orange Ford F250 pickup truck is seen entering campus along the south road passing Snohomish Hall. They park in lot P next to a gray Toyota Prius.
At approximately 1:35 p.m. both suspects are seen exiting the pickup and stand on the passenger side between the truck and the Prius.
At approximately 1:38 p.m. the Prius is seen to be lifting up, possibly by a car jack.
At approximately 1:40 p.m. the Prius is seen being lowered, the suspects enter their vehicle and leave campus via 204th St.
The first victim returned to their vehicle at approximately 3:10 p.m. and discovered that the theft had occurred. They then contacted Campus Security. The second victim was notified of the theft by Campus Security.
Anyone with further information is encouraged to contact the Lynnwood Police Department at 425.407.3999. Lynnwood Police Department Case Number to reference is #22-8340 (Honda) and #22-8346 (Prius).
Whenever a situation is of concern to our campus community, we will notify you. EC urges anyone who is a victim of any crime to call 911 immediately AND make a report to Campus Security.
From the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department - Thefts of catalytic converters are on the rise. Trucks and SUVs with decent ground clearance are the usual targets, but Toyota Prius’ are also frequently targeted. The Prius is prized because the catalytic converters on hybrid cars typically are in better condition because the car only uses it while in gas mode. Their less-used condition makes converters off hybrids more valuable to bring to scrap metal buyers.
For more information on how to prevent catalytic converter theft, please follow this link: https://www.snohomishcountywa.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/6644
We ask our students and employees to be aware and take the following actions to increase their safety both on and off campus:
- Be aware of your surroundings.
- Report any suspicious people or behavior to campus security.
- When going through a public parking lot, call 911 if you see suspicious activity such as people working underneath a vehicle or someone who looks like they are acting like a lookout. Using a saw is not normal car maintenance behavior. Always park in a well-lit area when available.
REMEMBER, if you See Something, Say Something by calling Campus Security 24/7 at 425.754.0154.

On the evening of October 28, Campus Security received a report of a theft of a catalytic converter from a vehicle parked in Lot E. Lynnwood Police Department is investigating the reported theft.
In the videos from campus security cameras, what appears to be a red, late 1990s Mercury Mountaineer SUV entered Edmonds College at approximately 3:07 p.m. through 200th St. The vehicle then proceeded to parking lot E by Snoqualmie and Brier halls, and parked next to a light blue Toyota Prius. The red Mercury Mountaineer was there until 3:23 p.m. when it was seen leaving through 200th St.
The red SUV has what appears to be wide white space behind the license plate.
The red SUV has no front plate, and appears to have a small light bar on the hood of the car towards the back of the hood.
Two individuals were seen exiting the vehicle.
One male, light skinned with dark hair and wearing a brown/khaki "carhartt" style jacket and dark pants.
One female, light skinned, with blonde hair wearing a dark jacket/sweater and light pants or leggings.
At approximately 3:20 p.m. the blue Prius was seen lifted, possibly by a car jack. It appears the male suspect kneels on the passenger side of the Prius, getting under the victim's vehicle. It appears the perpetrators placed items into their vehicle and drove away.
The victim returned to his vehicle at 5:00 p.m. and discovered that the theft had occurred.

Edmonds College Annual Security and Fire Report now available
TRITON ALERT - Edmonds College - Non Emergency
Clery Required Annual Security and Fire Report available for your review. Read the
report here.
What if It Snows?
In inclement weather, Edmonds College typically makes decisions regarding emergency closures or class cancellations by 5 a.m. for day classes and 3 p.m. for evening classes (or as early as circumstances allow). Then we start getting the word out.
The college seeks to stay open to fulfill its mission whenever possible — so, most likely, it will be classes as usual for the college — but individuals should protect their own health and safety. Take care of yourself and be safe!
Students, work with your instructors if you need to make other arrangements in an emergency.
Important notice to students, employees, and the community:
Due to ongoing fire and safety concerns of the National Fire Protection Association, Edmonds College prohibits the use, possession, or storage of "hoverboard" style transport devices on campus property. This includes but is not limited to student housing, classrooms, meeting space, walkways, hallways, and open courtyards.
