Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill

The Great ShakeOut is a global emergency preparedness event that encourages participants to practice how to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” during an earthquake.

Edmonds College will participate in this drill twice to ensure both daytime and evening classes and employees are able to participate. The drills will occur at 10:17 a.m. and 8:17 .m. on Thursday, October 17, 2024. Messaging for this drill will be sent via our loudspeaker and digital message notification systems in all classrooms and workspaces and a notification via Triton Alert.

Although the earthquake drill may seem disruptive to our daily schedules, working diligently to have a plan and be prepared in the face of an emergency is of critical importance. Campus leadership anSSEPEP encourage all students, faculty and staff to participate. It is vital to be aware of our surroundings and have a plan for all types of emergencies.

According to federal, state, and local emergency management officials, the Drop, Cover, and Hold On protocol protects lives during earthquakes.

During an earthquake, you should:

• Drop to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
• Take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and
• Hold on to it until the shaking stops.

If there isn't a table or desk near you, drop to the ground along an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not run to another room just to get under a table.

If you are outdoors when the shaking starts, you should find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and power lines, then Drop, Cover and Hold On. Stay there until the shaking stops.

In the event of a real emergency, the college will send out emergency notifications through the Triton Alert Emergency Notification System. You can sign up for these alerts — email and text — at edmonds.edu/alert/triton/

The student said the assailant, a white man approximately 6 feet tall with a medium build, a long beard, grayish blond hair, and wearing sunglasses, approached them while pushing a red bicycle. The man said, "Hey, cutie," and after a brief verbal interaction, the student turned to walk away, and the male reached out and grabbed their buttocks.

The student then went to Rainier Place and asked for help from the front desk staff. Police and Campus Security were called and took a report.

The man was wearing a black sweatshirt with a white dragon on the front and black jeans. Any further details are being withheld to maintain the reporting person’s 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.

Anyone with information about this incident, please contact Lynnwood Police Department at 425.670.5669 and reference Lynnwood Police Case Number 24-32183

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:
  • www.consent.academy
  • www.rainn.org/understanding-consent
• 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.

How to Report an Incident

• Call or email Campus Security - via phone at 425.754.0154 or Security24.7@edmonds.edu

April 10, 2024

Today at approximately 2:53 p.m. campus security received a call from 911 dispatch informing us that they were looking for a man described to them as hispanicic male, approximately 5’10” tall, heavy build, wearing a black shirt and black and blue camouflage pants, accused of indecent exposure. The individual was last seen on 202nd. Security was immediately dispatched to patrol the area around east campus parking lots and 202nd to look for anyone matching this description.

As security was arriving in the area they noted police vehicles on 68th and in our parking lots. Shortly after arriving the security officer observed police pulling up in front of Triton Court.

At the same time, which was approximately 3:05 p.m., our security director was informed by a Lynnwood police officer that they were on the scene at Triton Court and they had the suspect in custody.

Campus Safety & Security is working closely with Lynnwood Police Department to supply video footage of the incident. Video shows an individual leaving Triton Court who is then confronted by the man pictured below. He is seen on camera moving towards the reporting person as they move back to the front door of Triton Court and re-enter the building. The aggressor pushes past the reporting person and goes into Triton Court.

This situation was resolved quickly in large part because of the reporting person’s quick thinking to go back inside and, due to bystanders who intervened.

Edmonds College is grateful for the coordination and quick response between our campus security and Lynnwood Police Department. A trespass notice was issued to the aggressor. He is not permitted on Edmonds College property per this order. It is possible the aggressor will be released. If you see him on campus please call campus security immediately at 425.754.0154. If he acts aggressively, call 911 first.

Per the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office jail, charges currently pending in this case include two counts of Burglary and three counts of Indecent Exposure with Sexual Motivation. Please note, these charges are not all related to activity on our campus. The individual was already being sought by police. At the time of his arrest we learned he was reported to have gone into other residences off campus and had exposed himself to others.

If you have further information about this situation please call Lynnwood Police at 425.407.3999 and reference case #2024-11975.

Today, July 12, 2023, at approximately 10:27 a.m., Security received a call that a sexual assault had occurred in thMukilteoeo Hall elevator.

The reporting person stated she was in the elevator when she was approached by a male approximately 5’7” tall, slicked back hair, in a white shirt and round black frame glasses, carrying a black backpack.

There had been another person in the elevator, but once the reporting person and offender were alone in the elevator the reporting person describes being asked if she had a boyfriend. She responded to the question. The reporting person noted the offender appeared to be using a translator on their mobile device. The offender went on to ask "Can I touch your chest?" Before the reporting person could respond the offender reached out and touched and grabbed the reporting person's chest. The reporting person responded to this by yelling and moving away from the offender. When the elevator door opened the offender exited and the reporting person immediately exited and reported the incident to the nearest employee, pointing out the offender as they made contact with the employee.

Once Security had a description of the offender, Lynnwood Police Department was notified of the incident. They arrived quickly, and met a security officer aMukilteoeo Hall where a suspect was identified and taken into custody. The event is being investigated by the Edmonds College Title IX office and the Lynnwood Police Department.

Any further details are being withheld to maintain reporting person 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.

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:
  • www.consent.academy
  • www.rainn.org/understanding-consent
• 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 the Providence Intervention Center for Assault and Abuse.
• 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.

A report was filed with Lynnwood Police Department, and we are asking the public if you have any information about this theft - please call Lynnwood Police Department at 425.407.3999.

Campus security camera review shows what appears to be a Black Chevy SUV entering Edmonds College at approximately 4:15pm through 204th St SW. The vehicle proceeds to parking lot M by Snohomish hall. The vehicle pulled past its target and backed into the space alongside a Blue Mitsubishi in a Handicap stall. The thief exited the passenger side door and was out of view of the camera. The Black Chevy SUV was there for less than 60 seconds from the moment they backed into the parking space until they pulled back out heading south out of lot M.

The Black Chevy SUV is then seen driving to Edmonds School District parking lot and back out of that lot to Edmonds College parking lot P. In parking lot P, the Black Chevy SUV is seen parking adjacent to a Silver SUV, the thief exited the vehicle to look under the Silver SUV, however they quickly left at 4:19 p.m. after noticing other individuals in the parking lot walking in their general direction.

The Black Chevy SUV did not appear to have license plates. We have attached pictures taken from our camera system. 

Only one individual was seen exiting the vehicle and we are not able to offer any identifying information due to camera angles.

These crimes happen very quickly as you can see from the timeline above. A security vehicle patrolled that area not 10 minutes before the theft and an officer on foot patrol went by about 3 minutes before this occurred.  Our Security team continues to patrol consistently in areas all around our campus.

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:
  • www.consent.academy/
  • www.rainn.org/understanding-consent

• 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. See more information on this process and other services for survivors of sexual assault.
• In addition to seeking medical attention, there are other options for self-care after an assault, including contacting a confidential survivor advocate. See more information about this and other options.

How to Report an Incident

• Call or email Campus Security - via phone at 425-754-0154 or Security24.7@edmonds.edu
• Call the Campus Title IX office

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 ToyotPriusus.

At approximately 1:35 p.m. both suspects are seen exiting the pickup and stand on the passenger side between the truck and thPriusus.

At approximately 1:38 p.m. thPriusus is seen to be lifting up, possibly by a car jack.

At approximately 1:40 p.m. thPriusus 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 #22-8346Priusus).

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 anSUVsVs with decent ground clearance are the usual targets, but Toyota Prius’ are also frequently targeted. ThPriusus 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.

See more information on how to prevent catalytic converter theft.

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.
