During the week of Spring Break, March 21-March 25, 2016, ten buildings on campus will undergo a mandatory five-year pipe inspection of the sprinkler systems. The testing being done requires the College’s fire suppression vendor, Simplex Grinnell, to work both outside and inside the following ten buildings: 800, 1600, 1600A, 1800, 2000, 2100, 2900, 4000, 5000, 9000.

We strive to keep any inconvenience to a minimum. The Simplex Grinnell technicians will be in uniform (for identification purposes). Fire alarms are anticipated to be minimal or non-existent.

Metro Transit Alert: New Link light rail service and Spring service changes

March 11, 2016 by Leave a Comment

On Saturday, March 19, Sound Transit will extend Link light rail service to Capitol Hill and University of Washington stations, one week before Metro’s spring service change takes effect on Saturday, March 26. This extension of the Link light rail network features frequent, fast service between downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill and the University of Washington near Husky Stadium. Metro’s service change will revise bus service in several areas to provide reliable connections to Link at these two new stations.

Especially in areas with new Link service, transit customers need to know that they will continue to use current bus routes and schedules for one week before new ‘Link Connection’ bus service becomes available on March 26.

New travel opportunities
Metro’s spring changes and light rail expansion provide current and new transit riders with many more commuting and travel opportunities to and from many more places. Even if your bus service is not changing, you may want to take a fresh look at your commute.

Phased changes
For one week from Saturday, March 19 through Friday, March 25, the following Metro bus routes will serve the new Link light rail stations:

  • Capitol Hill Station – at Broadway & E John St: Currently served by Metro bus routes 8, 9, 10, 11, 43, 49, 60, and the First Hill Streetcar.
  • University of Washington Station – at Husky Stadium: Currently served by Metro bus routes 25, 31, 32, 43, 44, 48, 65, 67, 68, 75, 167, 197, 271, 277, 372 & 373, and ST Express routes ST 540, ST 542 & ST 556.

Starting Saturday, March 26, Metro’s spring service changes will take effect. These changes include a new network of bus service designed to connect riders with Link and to provide new neighborhood connections and service improvements you’ve told us you want.

Additionally, In partnership with the City of Seattle, Metro’s RapidRide C Line will be extended to serve South Lake Union, and will no longer continue as the RapidRide D Line to Ballard. The RapidRide D Line from Ballard will be extended to serve Pioneer Square, and will no longer continue as the RapidRide C Line to West Seattle.

Last chance to sign up for FREE CPR/AED training this Fri., March 4

March 2, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Would you know what to do in a cardiac or breathing emergency? The right answer could help you save a life. With a mixture of classroom and hands-on learning, Shoreline Fire Department Medics will be providing a 2-hour course to give you the skills to potentially save a life on Fri., March 4, 2016 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in Rm 3002.

Consider these facts:

    • There are 220,000 victims of sudden cardiac arrest per year in the United States; about 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur at work
    • Waiting for the arrival of emergency medical system personnel results in only 5-7% survival.
    • Paramedics can take eight to 12 minutes to arrive, but someone suffering sudden cardiac arrest needs help immediately
    • 75% of all out-of-hospital heart attacks happen at home

AEDs in the workplace save lives. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal. A bystander with access to an AED can greatly improve the chance of survival. The college has recently purchased 8 new AED machines, for a total of 12. Learn where they are on campus and how to use them.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2016 – 9:30am-11:30am, Rm 3002
The course, free to SCC employees, will include a certification card. The training is voluntary, requiring supervisory permission to attend. Classroom size is limited, and your pre-registration is required. Wear comfortable clothing. If a class is full, you will be placed on a wait list for a cancellation or coming class.

To register call or email Darlene Carlson or Robin Blacksmith in Safety & Security:

Darlene – 206-546-4633; Dcarlson@shoreline.edu
Robin –   206-546-4503; Rblacksmith@shoreline.edu
