The kids were evacuated to the school fields and play area. School officials decided to keep them in school, and classes continued outside.

The problem was traced to an electrical vault and Seattle City Light was called in.  They were on site by 2:30pm and students were back in the building.

Parkwood is located at 1815 N 155th, Shoreline WA 98133 in the south central corridor of the Shoreline School District.
