Timely Warning: Vehicle theft and burglary - Orange Line Construction Site

Edmonds College Campus Security was notified Monday, Nov. 27, of two vehicles stolen from the Orange Line Construction area along the east side of campus. The thefts are believed to have occurred between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. Nov. 24-25. Security was also notified that a storage container was burglarized in that construction area around the same time.

It was reported that whoever committed the theft and burglary likely had keys to the construction site and vehicles, so security considers this an isolated incident and does not believe there is a significant or ongoing threat to campus safety.

Lynnwood Police recovered the trucks later, and a suspect was arrested off campus on Saturday, Nov. 25, at approximately 3 a.m. The incident is currently under investigation by Lynnwood Police.

Anyone with information about this incident or any crime should contact Campus Security at 425.754.0154 or via email to security24.7@edmonds.edu.

Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill

The Great ShakeOut is a global emergency preparedness event that encourages participants to practice how to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” during an earthquake.

Edmonds College will participate in this drill twice to ensure both daytime and evening classes and employees are able to participate. The drills will occur at 10:19 a.m. and 8:19 p.m. on Thursday, October 19, 2023. Messaging for this drill will be sent via our loudspeaker and digital message notification systems in all classrooms and workspaces and a notification via Triton Alert. 

Although the earthquake drill may seem disruptive to our daily schedules, working diligently to have a plan and be prepared in the face of an emergency is of critical importance. Campus leadership and SSEP encourage all students, faculty and staff to participate. It is vital to be aware of our surroundings and have a plan for all types of emergencies.

According to federal, state, and local emergency management officials, the Drop, Cover, and Hold On protocol protects lives during earthquakes.

During an earthquake, you should:

• Drop to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
• Take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and
• Hold on to it until the shaking stops.

If there isn't a table or desk near you, drop to the ground along an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not run to another room just to get under a table.

If you are outdoors when the shaking starts, you should find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and power lines, then Drop, Cover and Hold On. Stay there until the shaking stops.

In the event of a real emergency, the college will send out emergency notifications through the Triton Alert Emergency Notification System. You can sign up for these alerts — email and text.

For more information on earthquake preparedness, visit shakeout.org.

In addition, ShakeAlert is an earthquake early warning system that is managed by the U.S. Geological Survey. ShakeAlert detects significant earthquakes quickly enough so that alerts can be delivered to people and automated systems potentially seconds before shaking arrives. The purpose of the system is to reduce the impact of earthquakes and save lives and property.

The USGS works with licensed technical partners who use USGS-issued ShakeAlert Messages to alert people to take a protective action or to trigger automated actions. These automated actions could include slowing trains, closing water valves, turning on backup generators, issuing public announcements, and many others.

July 12, 2023

Today, July 12, 2023, at approximately 10:27 a.m., Security received a call that a sexual assault had occurred in the Mukilteo Hall elevator.

The reporting person stated she was in the elevator when she was approached by a male approximately 5’7” tall, slicked back hair, in a white shirt and round black frame glasses, carrying a black backpack.

There had been another person in the elevator, but once the reporting person and offender were alone in the elevator the reporting person describes being asked if she had a boyfriend. She responded to the question. The reporting person noted the offender appeared to be using a translator on their mobile device. The offender went on to ask "Can I touch your chest?" Before the reporting person could respond the offender reached out and touched and grabbed the reporting person's chest. The reporting person responded to this by yelling and moving away from the offender. When the elevator door opened the offender exited and the reporting person immediately exited and reported the incident to the nearest employee, pointing out the offender as they made contact with the employee.

Once Security had a description of the offender, Lynnwood Police Department was notified of the incident. They arrived quickly, and met a security officer at Mukilteo Hall where a suspect was identified and taken into custody. The event is being investigated by the Edmonds College Title IX office and the Lynnwood Police Department.

Any further details are being withheld to maintain reporting person privacy and would not enhance the information needed for campus safety.

Sexual assault of any kind is always the full responsibility of the offender.

Anyone with information about this incident or any crime should contact Campus Security at 425.754.0154 or via email to security24.7@edmonds.edu.

Anyone with information about this incident, please contact Lynnwood Police Department at 425.670.5669 and reference Lynnwood Police Case Number 2023-25777.

Campus Security has provided the reporting person with a variety of support resources to assist them in feeling safer on campus and as they go about their daily activities.

Safety Information and Protective Steps

• Consent is a vital part of any intimate encounter with another. There are many times that consent cannot exist - for example if a person is under the age of 18 or is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• It is estimated that in the United States one out of six women and one in thirty-three men have been the victim of rape or attempted rape. No matter the demographic, the most common type of sexual assault is not committed by a stranger, but by someone known to the survivor.
• Students are encouraged to take precautions to enhance their safety, and to understand how to seek, and assure affirmative consent during potentially intimate interactions with others, as well as how to respect when consent has been denied or revoked. More information on consent can be found through the following organizations:
  • www.consent.academy
  • www.rainn.org/understanding-consent
• If you feel uneasy about a situation, trust your instincts and attempt to interrupt the chain of events. Create a distraction and involve others. If you are out with friends, make a commitment to ensure everyone has a safe way home.
• Survivors are encouraged to seek medical attention immediately, even if there are no obvious physical injuries. Receiving a sexual assault examination is free and conducted by a specially trained nurse at your local hospital. An examination does not obligate someone to any kind of investigation; however, it allows evidence to be collected and preserved in the event you choose to authorize a criminal investigation at a later time. More information on this process and other services for survivors of sexual assault can be found at the Providence Intervention Center for Assault and Abuse.
• In addition to seeking medical attention, there are other options for self-care after an assault, including contacting a confidential survivor advocate. More information about this and other options may be obtained here.

How to Report an Incident

• Call or email Campus Security - via phone at 425.754.0154 or Security24.7@edmonds.edu
• Call the Campus Title IX office
• Title IX Investigator - Joan Wyant, Associate Director of Title IX and EEO, 425.640.1814, Clearview Building 122B

• Fondling - the touching of the private body parts of another person for the purpose of sexual gratification, without the consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of their age or because of their temporary or permanent mental incapacity.
• Incest- sexual intercourse between persons who are related to each other within the degrees wherein marriage is prohibited by law.

Timely Warning

You are receiving this timely warning in compliance with The Clery Act and because you are part of the Edmonds College community. Through awareness, we are working to keep our campus safe.

On Sunday, March 13, 2023, the Title IX office received a report of stalking. Clery defines stalking as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety, or the safety of others, or to suffer substantial emotional distress. The college’s Title IX investigator spoke with the reporting person and learned the situation has been ongoing for several weeks. 

The accused is an older adult male, who attends class with the reporting person. Despite being told repeatedly that the reporting person does not wish contact outside of the classroom, the accused has made numerous requests to meet the reporting person outside of the college classroom and has continued to reach out primarily using college electronic methods. The accused has also made multiple attempts to gain personal contact information such as a phone number for the reporting person. The Title IX investigator met with the reporting person to provide a variety of support resources to assist them in feeling safer on campus and as they go about their daily activities.

Any further details are being withheld to maintain the reporting persons privacy and would not enhance the information needed for campus safety.

Anyone with information about this incident or any crime should contact Campus Security at 425.754.0154 or via email to security24.7@edmonds.edu.

No one should need to state repeatedly that they do not wish contact with, or attention from, another person. It is always the full responsibility of the person reaching out to ensure their messages, contact, or presence is wanted by the other. When one person tells another they are uncomfortable with messages, social media contact, or attempts to relay messaging in any way, contact needs to end.

Consent is a vital part of any relationship. In human relationships, there are ways that consent cannot exist - for example if a person is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Students are encouraged to take precautions to enhance their safety, and to understand how to seek, and assure affirmative consent when seeking a relationship with another, as well as how to respect when consent has been denied or revoked. More information on consent can be found through the following organizations:

• www.consent.academy
• www.rainn.org/understanding-consent

If you feel uneasy about a situation, trust your instincts and look for ways to interrupt or change the events that are happening. Create a distraction and involve others if you can. If you are out with friends, make a commitment to ensure everyone has a safe way home.

Campus Safety Bulletin: Report of catalytic converter theft

You are receiving this bulletin because you are part of the Edmonds College community. Being more aware helps keep our campus community safer.

On the afternoon of March 3rd, Campus Security received a theft report of a catalytic converter from a vehicle parked in Lot M. A report was filed with Lynnwood Police Department, and we are asking the public if you have any information about this theft - please call Lynnwood Police Department at 425.407.3999.

Campus security camera review shows what appears to be a Black Chevy SUV entering Edmonds College at approximately 4:15pm through 204th St SW. The vehicle proceeds to parking lot M by Snohomish hall. The vehicle pulled past its target and backed into the space alongside a Blue Mitsubishi in a Handicap stall. The thief exited the passenger side door and was out of view of the camera. The Black Chevy SUV was there for less than 60 seconds from the moment they backed into the parking space until they pulled back out heading south out of lot M.

The Black Chevy SUV is then seen driving to Edmonds School District parking lot and back out of that lot to Edmonds College parking lot P. In parking lot P, the Black Chevy SUV is seen parking adjacent to a Silver SUV, the thief exited the vehicle to look under the Silver SUV, however they quickly left at 4:19 p.m. after noticing other individuals in the parking lot walking in their general direction.

The Black Chevy SUV did not appear to have license plates. We have attached pictures taken from our camera system. 

Only one individual was seen exiting the vehicle and we are not able to offer any identifying information due to camera angles.

These crimes happen very quickly as you can see from the timeline above. A security vehicle patrolled that area not 10 minutes before the theft and an officer on foot patrol went by about 3 minutes before this occurred.  Our Security team continues to patrol consistently in areas all around our campus.

Anyone with further information is encouraged to contact the Lynnwood Police Department at 425.407.3999. Lynnwood Police Department Case Number to reference is #23-7864.

Whenever a situation is of concern to our campus community, we will notify you. EC urges anyone who is a victim of any crime to call 911 immediately AND make a report to Campus Security.

See more information on how to prevent catalytic converter theft.

We ask our students and employees to be aware and take the following actions to increase their safety both on and off campus:

• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Report any suspicious people or behavior to campus security.
• When going through a public parking lot, f you see suspicious activity such as people working underneath a vehicle or someone who looks like they are acting as lookout call campus security.
• Using a saw is not normal car maintenance behavior.
• Always park in a well-lit area.

Timely Warning

You are receiving this timely warning in compliance with The Clery Act and because you are part of the Edmonds College community. Through awareness, we are working to keep our campus safe.

The Title IX office received a report of Stalking. Clery defines stalking as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety, or the safety of others, or to suffer substantial emotional distress. The College’s Title IX investigator spoke with the reporting person and learned the situation has been ongoing for several weeks.

The accused, a student, has continued to reach out to the reporting person, also a student, even after being told they wish to be left alone. The accused is reported to have entered a classroom looking for the reporting person and has attempted further contact through an off campus social organization. The reporting person became increasingly concerned about the consistent overstepping of boundaries and decided to seek help with safety planning and support for themselves. Campus Security and the Title IX investigator are meeting with the reporting person to provide a variety of support resources to assist them in feeling safer on campus and as they go about their daily activities.

Any further details are being withheld to maintain the reporting persons privacy and would not enhance the information needed for campus safety.

Anyone with information about this incident or any crime should contact Campus Security at 425.754.0154 or via email to security24.7@edmonds.edu.

No one should need to state repeatedly that they do not wish contact with, or attention from, another person. It is always the full responsibility of the person reaching out to ensure their messages, contact, or presence is wanted by the other. When one person tells another they are uncomfortable with messages, social media contact, or attempts to relay messaging in any way, contact needs to end.

Consent is a vital part of any relationship. There are many times, especially in the context of intimate relationships, that consent cannot exist - for example if a person is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Students are encouraged to take precautions to enhance their safety, and to understand how to seek, and assure affirmative consent when seeking a relationship with another, as well as how to respect when consent has been denied or revoked. More information on consent can be found through the following organizations:

• www.consent.academy
• www.rainn.org/understanding-consent

If you feel uneasy about a situation, trust your instincts and attempt to interrupt the chain of events. Create a distraction and involve others. If you are out with friends, make a commitment to ensure everyone has a safe way home.

Timely Warning: You are receiving this timely warning in compliance with The Clery Act and because you are part of the Edmonds College community. Through awareness, we are working to keep our campus safe.

Late in the evening on Friday Dec. 9th the Title IX office received a report of Stalking. Clery defines stalking as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety, or the safety of others, or to suffer substantial emotional distress. Campus Security and the Title IX investigator met with the reporting person today and learned that the situation has been ongoing over the past several months.

The people involved met through shared interest social groups. After initial conversation and a request from the accused to begin a dating relationship the reporting person told them they were not interested in a relationship. The accused continued to reach out through many channels, and was repeatedly told to stop. In the past few days the reporting person became increasingly concerned about the ongoing overstepping of boundaries. The reporting person decided to seek help with safety planning and support for themselves. Campus Security has provided the reporting person with a variety of support resources to assist them in feeling safer on campus and as they go about their daily activities.

Any further details are being withheld to maintain the reporting persons privacy and would not enhance the information needed for campus safety.

At approximately 11:00am today, campus security received a call from a student reporting they had been sexually assaulted on December 1st. The survivor and offender are known to one another. The survivor reports that on December 1st at approximately 9pm someone they had been dating came to their residence hall room to visit. During their time in the residence hall, the offender engaged in intimate touching and sexual activity and was told to stop. The offender did not stop when directed to do so. The encounter was non-consensual. Any further details have been withheld to maintain survivor privacy and would not enhance the information needed for campus safety. Sexual assault of any kind is always the full responsibility of the offender.

Anyone with information about this incident or any crime should contact Campus Security at 425.754.0154 or via email to security24.7@edmonds.edu.

Campus Security has provided the survivor with a variety of support resources to assist them in feeling safer on campus and as they go about their daily activities.

Safety Information and Protective Steps

• Consent is a vital part of any intimate encounter with another. There are many times that consent cannot exist - for example if a person is under the age of 18 or is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• It is estimated that in the United States one out of six women and one in thirty-three men have been the victim of rape or attempted rape. No matter the demographic, the most common type of sexual assault is not committed by a stranger, but by someone known to the survivor.
• Students are encouraged to take precautions to enhance their safety, and to understand how to seek, and assure affirmative consent during potentially intimate interactions with others, as well as how to respect when consent has been denied or revoked. More information on consent can be found through the following organizations:
  • www.consent.academy/
  • www.rainn.org/understanding-consent

• If you feel uneasy about a situation, trust your instincts and attempt to interrupt the chain of events. Create a distraction and involve others. If you are out with friends, make a commitment to ensure everyone has a safe way home.
• Survivors are encouraged to seek medical attention immediately, even if there are no obvious physical injuries. Receiving a sexual assault examination is free and conducted by a specially trained nurse at your local hospital. An examination does not obligate someone to any kind of investigation; however, it allows evidence to be collected and preserved in the event you choose to authorize a criminal investigation at a later time. See more information on this process and other services for survivors of sexual assault.
• In addition to seeking medical attention, there are other options for self-care after an assault, including contacting a confidential survivor advocate. See more information about this and other options.

Under the Clery Act, sexual assault is defined as any sexual act directed against another person, without the consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent.

Under Clery, there are four categories of sexual assault:

• Rape - the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus, with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. This offense includes the rape of both males and females.
• Fondling - the touching of the private body parts of another person for the purpose of sexual gratification, without the consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of their age or because of their temporary or permanent mental incapacity.
• Incest- sexual intercourse between persons who are related to each other within the degrees wherein marriage is prohibited by law.
• Statutory Rape - sexual intercourse with a person who is under the statutory age of consent.

Edmonds College is participating in The Great ShakeOut global earthquake drill. We encourage you to practice. “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” during the earthquake announcement.

The Edmonds College drill is happening at 10:20 a.m. and 8:20 p.m. You will see a message scrolling on all classroom and workspace digital clock speakers, and hear a campus-wide announcement over the speaker system across campus.

During the drill please practice safety during an earthquake. We want you to Drop, Cover, and Hold On

As the message plays you should:

• Drop to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
• Take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and
• Hold on to it until the sound of shaking stops.

If there isn't a table or desk near you, drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table.

In the event of a real emergency, the college will send out emergency notifications through the Triton Alert system. You can sign up for these alerts — email and text — at edmonds.edu/alert/triton.

• Reasonable person means a reasonable person under similar circumstances and with similar identities to the victim.
• Substantial emotional distress means significant mental suffering or anguish that may, but does not necessarily require medical or other professional treatment or counseling.

Campus Safety Bulletin: Report of catalytic converter thefts

You are receiving this bulletin because you are part of the Edmonds College community. Being more aware helps keep our campus community safer.

On the afternoon of March 21, 2022 at approximately 3:10 p.m. Campus Security received a report of a theft of a catalytic converter from a vehicle parked in Lot A. Review of cameras across campus revealed the same suspect vehicle then drove around to lot P near the Center for Families where a second theft occurred. Lynnwood Police Department was notified of each incident separately due to the time between the thefts and discovery of the second incident. They are investigating the reported thefts.

In the videos from campus security cameras, an orange colored, Ford F250 crew cab pickup truck entered Edmonds College at approximately 1:17 p.m. through 200th St. The vehicle then proceeded to parking lot A by Hazel Miller Hall, and parked next to a black Honda Element. The orange truck was there until 1:30 p.m. when it was seen leaving through 200th St.

The orange Ford F250 crew cab pickup truck has no front or back license plate. In place of the license plate there are two yellow signs with the words “GR8 DEAL.” Distinctive markings include a dark colored bed cover, a dual metal bar rack, and yellow/orange lights on top front of cab, as well as a small light bar towards the rear of the roof.

Suspects are seen on video. Suspect number 1 described as the driver, appears to be male, light skinned, seen without cap to have dark shorter hair, later wearing a black baseball cap with Nike logo, bright yellow construction style waterproof jacket and pants.

Suspect number 2 appears to be female, light skinned, camera shows light blonde hair, medium build, wearing a dark jacket, white shirt, jeans and white tennis shoes.

At approximately 1:21 p.m. the individuals parked in parking lot A next to the victim vehicle. The driver exits the vehicle and walks west towards Mill Creek Hall and then returns approximately 4 minutes later.

At approximately 1:24 p.m. the driver returns to the vehicle and a female exits the passenger side.

At approximately 1:25 p.m. the both individuals are seen trying to get under the victim's vehicle.

At approximately 1:30 p.m. both suspects return to their vehicle and proceed to leave campus via 200th St.

At approximately 1:33 p.m. the same orange Ford F250 pickup truck is seen entering campus along the south road passing Snohomish Hall. They park in lot P next to a gray Toyota Prius.

At approximately 1:35 p.m. both suspects are seen exiting the pickup and stand on the passenger side between the truck and the Prius.

At approximately 1:38 p.m. the Prius is seen to be lifting up, possibly by a car jack.

At approximately 1:40 p.m. the Prius is seen being lowered, the suspects enter their vehicle and leave campus via 204th St.

The first victim returned to their vehicle at approximately 3:10 p.m. and discovered that the theft had occurred. They then contacted Campus Security. The second victim was notified of the theft by Campus Security.

Anyone with further information is encouraged to contact the Lynnwood Police Department at 425.407.3999. Lynnwood Police Department Case Number to reference is #22-8340 (Honda) and #22-8346 (Prius).

Whenever a situation is of concern to our campus community, we will notify you. EC urges anyone who is a victim of any crime to call 911 immediately AND make a report to Campus Security.

From the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department - Thefts of catalytic converters are on the rise. Trucks and SUVs with decent ground clearance are the usual targets, but Toyota Prius’ are also frequently targeted. The Prius is prized because the catalytic converters on hybrid cars typically are in better condition because the car only uses it while in gas mode. Their less-used condition makes converters off hybrids more valuable to bring to scrap metal buyers.

See more information on how to prevent catalytic converter theft.

We ask our students and employees to be aware and take the following actions to increase their safety both on and off campus:

• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Report any suspicious people or behavior to campus security.
• When going through a public parking lot, call 911 if you see suspicious activity such as people working underneath a vehicle or someone who looks like they are acting like a lookout. Using a saw is not normal car maintenance behavior. Always park in a well-lit area when available.

REMEMBER, if you See Something, Say Something by calling Campus Security 24/7 at 425.754.0154.

Campus Safety Bulletin: Report of catalytic converter theft

You are receiving this bulletin because you are part of the Edmonds College community. Being more aware helps keep our campus community safer.

On the evening of October 28, Campus Security received a report of a theft of a catalytic converter from a vehicle parked in Lot E. Lynnwood Police Department is investigating the reported theft.

In the videos from campus security cameras, what appears to be a red, late 1990s Mercury Mountaineer SUV entered Edmonds College at approximately 3:07 p.m. through 200th St. The vehicle then proceeded to parking lot E by Snoqualmie and Brier halls, and parked next to a light blue Toyota Prius. The red Mercury Mountaineer was there until 3:23 p.m. when it was seen leaving through 200th St.

The red SUV has what appears to be wide white space behind the license plate.

The red SUV has no front plate, and appears to have a small light bar on the hood of the car towards the back of the hood.

Two individuals were seen exiting the vehicle.

One male, light skinned with dark hair and wearing a brown/khaki "carhartt" style jacket and dark pants.

One female, light skinned, with blonde hair wearing a dark jacket/sweater and light pants or leggings.

At approximately 3:20 p.m. the blue Prius was seen lifted, possibly by a car jack. It appears the male suspect kneels on the passenger side of the Prius, getting under the victim's vehicle. It appears the perpetrators placed items into their vehicle and drove away.

The victim returned to his vehicle at 5:00 p.m. and discovered that the theft had occurred.

Anyone with further information is encouraged to contact the Lynnwood Police Department at 425.407.3999. Lynnwood Police Department Case Number to reference is #2021-32705.

Edmonds College is participating in The Great ShakeOut global earthquake drill. We encourage you to practice. “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” during the earthquake announcement.

The Edmonds College drill is happening at 10:21 a.m. You will see a message scrolling on all classroom and workspace digital clock speakers, and hear a campus-wide announcement over the speaker system across campus.

During the drill please practice safety during an earthquake. We want you to Drop, Cover, and Hold On

As the message plays you should:

• Drop to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
• Take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and
• Hold on to it until the sound of shaking stops.

If there isn't a table or desk near you, drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table.

In the event of a real emergency, the college will send out emergency notifications through the Triton Alert system. You can sign up for these alerts — email and text — at edmonds.edu/alert/triton.

For more information on earthquake preparedness, visit shakeout.org.
