Incident on campus
At 3:59 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 29, what began as a traffic stop on NE 195th Street continued as a police chase that ended outside the Beardslee Building parking garage. The suspect headed toward the North Creek Wetland. After a search that involved the K-9 unit and a drone, the Bothell Police Department determined at 5:46 a.m. that there is no immediate threat.
Had there been an emergency, an alert or advisory would be sent via UW Alert, which informs people about any emergency situation that poses a potential threat to their health and safety. Student, faculty and staff UW email addresses are automatically added to the UW Alert system. UW employees need to sign up to receive UW Alerts via text message.
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.
