Update to Today’s RAVE Alert re: Campus Intruder

Dear Campus Community, 

Early this morning, 08/15/2023, Campus Security was alerted by Shoreline Police that a suspect was in possession of stolen keys to Bldg. 7000 Campus Living was considered armed and dangerous, and possibly headed to campus. As Campus Security arrived at Bldg. 7000 Campus Living, they received a call stating that the caller believed the suspect was in the building. The suspect was then seen exiting the building and leaving campus. Campus Security immediately notified Shoreline Police who responded. Campus Security then set up and maintained constant observation of Bldg. 7000 Campus Living to ensure that the suspect did not attempt to return. 

A short time later, Shoreline Police updated Campus Security, stating that the suspect was believed to be in the vicinity of N 160th Street and Aurora Avenue N and that a search was underway. Campus Security maintained their position around Bldg. 7000 Campus Living until Shoreline Police stated that the suspect was confirmed to have fled the city. Shoreline Police also confirmed that the keys to Bldg. 7000 Campus Living had been recovered and returned to the owner. Out of an abundance of caution, Campus Security maintained a constant presence at Bldg. 7000 Campus Living until 5:00 AM. 

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Campus Security for their prompt response to this incident, and their continued dedication to protecting and serving our campus.

Forest Bathing

Improve your well-being through immersion in nature with certified guide Mileva Huljev. This experience will guide you through a sequence of open-ended invitations to slow down, and use your senses to interact with the natural world. There is no expectation for what participants should experience or receive, though reduced stress is common, as well as improved creativity, a sense of calm and stillness while also feeling more alive. This is not a hike or meditation, but best described as a slow meander of less than a mile. This experience is ideal for persons older than 12, and who are comfortable traveling on uneven, unpaved terrain; though with notice, we can easily adapt for anyone with more limited mobility (fatigue, uneven gait, use of walker or cane). The class will take place in Boeing Creek Park, Shoreline

Mileva Huljev is a certified guide through the Association for Nature and Forest Therapy, with specific training in supporting people to improve their wellbeing by engaging with the natural world. This has been the foundation of a 16+ year career as an outdoor educator; facilitating experiences for folx to connect with Nature, in more broad and inclusive ways. .  https://www.forestbathingfinder.com/guide-profile/humannature/
