Shoreline Fire has seven climbers participating in the Scott Tower Climb and raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

They will be 'climbing" at Central Market Saturday and you are invited to visit!

Central Market Shoreline, Saturday, February 24, 2018, 8:30am - 2pm, 15505 Westminster Way N, Shoreline 98133

In the Scot Stairclimb, 1,900 firefighters from eight countries participated in a race to climb 69 flights of stairs - 1,356 steps - in the Columbia Tower, wearing full firefighting gear and breathing apparatus.

Each firefighter is expected to raise at least $300 to participate in the event, which has more applicants than it has space for.

The Scot Stairclimb was started in 1992 by Shoreline firefighter David Engler. Here's his story.
