Report of federal law enforcement activity near the UW in Seattle
The University of Washington is aware of reports of a person being taken into custody in Seattle near a home north of NE 45th Street and 20th Avenue NE. Initial information indicates that the person was detained in connection with a federal warrant from out of state. The UW is still working to gather verifiable information.
At this time, our understanding is that no UW students, faculty or staff were involved. We understand that incidents such as these can be deeply upsetting and will attempt to provide accurate information as soon as possible. Please visit our Campus Community Safety website for guidance on potential federal immigration actions on campus.
This is the emergency page for the University of Washington Bothell. During an incident, information will be available here. Cascadia College students, faculty and staff please proceed to the Cascadia College emergency page for campus-specific information.
