Veronica "Roni" Cook, Special Disabilities Teacher for the Mukilteo School District, and formerly a teacher in the Shoreline School District, was awarded the Washington State Alpha Delta Kappa Excellence in Education Award at the Washington State Alpha Delta Kappa Convention in Yakima in April.
Every two years, this honor is awarded to one Alpha Delta Kappa teacher in each state, to recognize members who are active educators for their outstanding contributions to education.
The honor was adjudicated by a seven member panel from the Northwest Region of Alpha Delta Kappa, one member from each of six Northwest states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming as well as the Regional President.
Ms Cook was awarded a trophy and $700. She now advances to the Regional level, and if selected, to the International level, where the awards are $1000, and $5000 respectively.
Alpha Delta Kappa is an International fraternal organization of 24,000 members that empowers women educators to advance educational excellence, altruism and world understanding. One of their goals is to honor outstanding women educators, and to strengthen the educational profession.

2,000 people visit the Shoreline Fire open house and pancake breakfast
 |
| Around 2,000 people attend the event every year |
Story and photos by David Carlos
Families from across the area packed Shoreline Fire Department Station 51 on Saturday morning, June 13, 2026 for its annual Open House, where visitors enjoyed a free pancake breakfast while learning about the work firefighters and emergency medical technicians do every day.
 |
| A young participant crawls through a tunnel during the firefighter challenge course at the Station 51 Open House. |
Held from 9am to noon at Station 51 (7220 NE 181st St, Kenmore), the event featured children's challenge courses, tours of fire engines and rescue vehicles, a live vehicle extrication demonstration, hands-only CPR instruction, a teddy bear clinic, and opportunities for kids to try on firefighting gear.
 |
| Fire Chief Matt Cowan |
The aroma of pancakes greeted guests as volunteers kept the griddles busy. One young volunteer estimated he had already made "probably 30 batches" by mid-morning. Asked the secret to making the perfect pancake, he smiled and replied, "Just wait for the bubbles."
The event also highlighted the department's Fire Cadet program. Volunteer Mikey Thomas helped children suit up in miniature firefighting gear while explaining what the program offers.
"It's a volunteer group for people under the age of 22," Thomas said. "We learn the basics of firefighting. Hopefully, we're getting our names out here, helping out, getting a job, you know."
 |
| Cadet Mikey Thomas helps a young visitor suit up |
Thomas said he hopes to become a firefighter himself. When asked what it takes to succeed, he emphasized reliability over anything else.
"Honestly, the main thing that I truly care about, as a cadet lead, is consistency," he said. "Do you show up every week? Do you show up on time every week? Do you put in effort?"
 |
| Firefighters serving pancakes |
Michelle Pidduck, the department's public information education officer, estimated that about 2,000 people attended the open house.
She said one of the biggest rewards of hosting the event is giving the public a chance to see firefighters outside of emergency situations.
"The most rewarding part has got to be for them to see us not in an emergency setting, to see us as normal people," Michelle said. "Everyone says, 'Oh, you're heroes.' Well, no, we just get to have a really cool job and help people."
 |
| CPR training |
Many visitors were surprised to learn that firefighting makes up only a portion of the department's workload.
"Seventy-nine to 80 percent of our calls are medical," Michelle explained.
 |
| A remote controlled fire hydrant warranted close inspection |
Station tours also prompted plenty of questions, especially when visitors reached the kitchen.
"They say, 'Why do you have four fridges?' Always the question," Michelle said. "Or why do you have a few stoves? It's because we have four shifts, and each shift has its own refrigerator."
Firefighters work 24-hour shifts beginning at 8am, although many arrive around 7:30am to relieve the outgoing crew early.
At Station 51, the on-duty staffing includes three personnel assigned to a rescue rig, two assigned to an aid car, and a daytime battalion chief.
 |
| An extrication demonstration using a hydraulic rescue tool (aka "Jaws of Life") |
Outside, firefighters demonstrated hydraulic rescue tools commonly known as the "Jaws of Life," showing how they are used to remove car doors to free trapped occupants after serious vehicle collisions.
 |
| Learning the fire hose techniques |
Visitors also had the opportunity to operate a fire hose, aiming a stream of water at a cone-shaped target in a hands-on firefighting challenge.
For many families, the appeal was simple.
"The kids were excited to see it, just wanted to check it out," one father said.
 |
| Helmet safety, car seats, first aid, and CPR were among the education demos |
Visitors also enjoyed the free pancake breakfast and explored a variety of educational booths offering information on hands-only CPR, bicycle helmet safety, and child passenger safety.

By combining education, hands-on activities, and community interaction, the Station 51 Open House gave residents an opportunity to meet the people behind the uniforms and gain a better understanding of the many services their local fire department provides.
Shoreline Fire serves the cities of Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, and the Town of Woodway. Chief Cowan is also the administrator of the Bothell Fire Department.

The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a heat advisory in effect for virtually all Puget Sound Lowlands, including Shoreline and Lake Forest Park. The heat advisory is in effect from Sunday morning at 11 AM until Tuesday morning at 5 AM.
From the National Weather Service:
Precautionary/Preparedness actions:

- When: From 11 AM Sunday to 5 AM PDT Tuesday.
- Impacts: Heat will significantly increase the risk of heat-related illnesses for those who are sensitive to heat, especially those without effective cooling or adequate hydration.
- Additional details: The warmest daytime high temperatures are expected Monday afternoon and the warmest overnight lows are expected Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments.

Forecast: For the next 7 days and beyond, the forecast calls for sunny skies and mostly clear nights. We are at the start of a short-lived mild heatwave, where we are expecting high temperatures in the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park areas to peak in the mid 80's on Sunday and Monday, with lows near 60°F.
Tuesday, we return to our seasonably sunny days with highs back down into the 70's, and lows in the 50's.
We repeat this forecast Wednesday and Thursday as well, with Friday warming up just a bit to near 80°F. Next weekend looks sunny with high temperatures returning to the mid 70's.

Road Improvement Project begins June 22, 2026 in Woodway
 |
| Walking path in Town of Woodway |
The Town of Woodway will begin paving improvements on several neighborhood roads starting the week of June 22, 2026.
The project will be completed by Lakeside Industries and will include removing the top layer of existing asphalt and installing a new asphalt surface. We anticipate that all work will be completed by the end of July.
During construction, residents can expect to see heavy equipment and work crews in the area. Parking in the right-of-way will not be permitted while work is underway, and traffic control personnel will be present to help maintain safe access through the construction zone.
There may be brief periods, typically lasting two to three hours, when access to individual driveways is temporarily restricted. The contractor and Town staff will work directly with affected residents to provide advance notice and coordinate access whenever possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make these important investments in Woodway's transportation infrastructure. If you have any questions about the project, please contact Public Works Director Collin Harlow at 206-542-4443.

Shoreline Rotary Celebrates a Year of Community Impact Under President Clarita Bhat
Clarita Bhat, outgoing president of Shoreline Rotary, led the club through a year of community service projects, educational initiatives, and international humanitarian partnerships that benefited residents locally and communities around the world.
Shoreline Rotary is celebrating a year of service, partnership, and community impact as President Clarita Bhat concludes her term leading the club through a remarkable 2025-26 Rotary year.
Under Bhat's leadership, Shoreline Rotary expanded support for local students, families, seniors, community organizations, and international humanitarian projects while strengthening partnerships throughout the Shoreline area.
"Clarita's leadership brought people together around a common purpose—helping others," said fellow Rotarians. "Her enthusiasm, compassion, and commitment to service inspired members to make a difference both locally and globally."
One of the club's signature projects was the annual Holiday Shopping Spree, which helped provide holiday gifts for students and families at Parkwood Elementary School. Members also supported Shop With A Cop, worked alongside community partners, and continued support for organizations that helps make Shoreline a vibrant place to live.
Throughout the year, Shoreline Rotary partnered with and supported organizations including the Shoreline Historical Museum, Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Foundation, Shoreline Senior Center, Music4Life, and the North City Jazz Walk.
Education remained a central focus of the club's service efforts. Shoreline Rotary awarded college scholarships to graduating students and supported programs including Canopy Scholars, the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation, and the Shoreline School District PTA Council's The Works program.
"Helping young people reach their potential has always been one of Rotary's most important missions," said Bhat. "Whether it's scholarships, educational support, or mentorship, we're investing in the future of our community."
Beyond Shoreline, the club continued its tradition of international service. Working in partnership with St. Matthew Catholic Church in north Seattle and St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church of Renton, Shoreline Rotary helped raise funds to construct two classrooms for the Big Dreamers School in MorocelÃ, Honduras. The project was supported through the club's popular Elvis-themed barbecue fundraiser and community donations.
Additional international partnerships supported children's services, teacher training, educational technology, hunger intervention efforts, and humanitarian projects in Guatemala, Nepal, Tanzania, and Uganda.
Club members also contributed hundreds of volunteer hours throughout the year organizing events, mentoring students, supporting nonprofit organizations, and participating in community improvement projects.
As her term concludes, Bhat leaves a legacy of collaboration and service that reflects Rotary's motto, "Service Above Self."
"The accomplishments of this year belong to every member, volunteer, partner organization, and supporter who joined us in serving others," said Bhat. "Together, we've strengthened our community and helped create opportunities for people here in Shoreline and around the world."
Shoreline Rotary will install incoming President Carol Salter at its annual leadership transition celebration on June 24 and looks forward to continuing its tradition of community service in the coming year.
Interested in learning more about Shoreline Rotary?
We invite community members to connect with us on Facebook, attend one of our bi-weekly meetings as our guest, or volunteer with us at an upcoming service project or fundraising event.
Whether you're looking to give back, meet new people, develop leadership skills, or support local and international causes, Shoreline Rotary offers meaningful opportunities to make a difference.

Lost and Found at elementary schools
 |
| We have 108+ coats, sweatshirts, hats, scarves, and more that will be DONATED on the last day of school if you don’t claim them! |
What happened to your kid's coat?
Somehow, even in the coldest days of winter (which we don't seem to have anymore) kids leave their coats behind. And they never miss them or think to check at the school office.
At the end of the year, the school has so many coats it could set up its own retail store.
Schools make regular announcements but parents rarely respond. By the end of the year, the child has grown and the coat probably doesn't fit anymore anyway.
The school donates the coats at the end of the school year.
However, you may have a younger child who could use the coat or sweatshirt or gloves or hat.
Send your student to pick up their items ASAP

No Drone Zone for FIFA matches
SEATTLE, WA – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has established a “No Drone Zone” for FIFA World Cup 2026.
Unsafe and improper use of “unmanned aircraft systems” (UAS) or drones poses a physical hazard to other aircraft and individuals on the ground and can violate federal law.
The FBI is working with the FAA to enforce temporary flight restrictions (TFRs), using federally authorized capabilities to detect, track, and assess unauthorized drone activity, with personnel from both agencies deployed full-time to identify drone activity that could threaten aviation safety, critical infrastructure, or public safety at and around event venues.
FBI Seattle, together with our partners from Seattle Police Department, King County Sheriff’s Office, Washington State Patrol, the Port of Seattle, and DHS agencies, including the Federal Air Marshal Service, emphasize the importance of drone operators checking for active flight restrictions.
TFRs will be in place for all U.S. match venues and associated event sites.

Wildfires begin

| 2017 view from Richmond Beach Photo by Lee Lageschulte |
By Diane Hettrick
The first wildfire in the state serious enough for State fire assistance has been reported in Whitman County in southeast Washington near the Idaho border.
Whitman County - State fire assistance has been mobilized under the Washington State Fire Services Resource Mobilization Plan in support of local firefighters working to contain the Snake River Fire located in Whitman County, near Clarkston.
The Snake River Fire started on June 12, 2026, at approximately 5:55 p.m. This fire is estimated at 160 acres and growing. It is burning in grass and brush and is threatening rangeland, primary residences, and power, communication, and rail infrastructure. No evacuations are in effect at this time. The fire cause is currently under investigation.
Ever since that awful summer where Puget Sound was filled with smoke from Canada, California, and eastern Washington and we couldn't open our windows for weeks, I have paid attention to the wildfire announcements.
In the intervening years, the state has paid more attention to its forests and worked extensively with local fire jurisdictions, but we are still vulnerable, even in Puget Sound.

Scene on the Sound: Pelican migration
Friday, June 12, 2026
By Jan Hansen
Decades ago, White Pelicans were common in Puget Sound. But with pesticides and habitat changes, they disappeared. I've only seen them twice in 70 years. Today was one of those times.
The pelicans flew over while my camera and I were having coffee on the deck. With the loss of breeding grounds, these huge birds are known to seek out new locations, and ten years ago the pelicans found Deer Lagoon on Whidbey Island and Honeymoon Bay on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. They have returned every year since.
