FYI, an emergency alert test is happening statewide on October 15th

On Oct. 15, 2026, students, families, neighbors and employees will drop, cover and hold on for the Great Washington ShakeOut, part of the country’s largest earthquake drill. The event also includes siren tests and evacuation drills in some schools.

At 10:15 a.m. on Oct. 15, you’re invited to drop, cover and hold on wherever you are – whether it’s at work, home or school. Practicing builds muscle memory for when the real earthquake comes. This will help you react quicker and be safer. A drill recording is available to help with the experience.

At about the same time, more than 120 Washington tsunami sirens along the inner and outer coast will be tested using the real wailing sound of a tsunami warning, not the Westminster Chimes that are typically used during the monthly tests. PLEASE DO NOT CALL 911.

There WILL be a test of the Emergency Alert System on radio and television this year.

The Wireless Emergency Alert text system on cell phones will NOT be tested.

Those who have downloaded the free MyShake Earthquake Early Warning App on their phones will get a test. Sirens related to the Columbia Generating Station will be tested in the Tri-Cities areas and some local jurisdictions will test their reverse 911 and opt-in text alerts. NOAA Weather Radios will also sound an alarm. To make sure you’re signed up for alerts, visit https://mil.wa.gov/alerts

Lahar sirens in Pierce County will not be tested.

This year’s ShakeOut theme is “Prepared Neighbors.” After a major earthquake and/or tsunami, there will be help coming in the forms of first responders and assistance coming in from all over the country. But in the immediate aftermath of a quake, individuals and neighbors in local communities will be the first ones responding. In addition to practicing Drop, Cover, and Hold On this ShakeOut, everyone is encouraged to do at least one more thing to help their neighborhood become more prepared. Learn more at https://mil.wa.gov/neighborhoods

Registration isn’t required but it helps the state understand how effective its outreach is. It’s also free and easy to register at https://www.shakeout.org/washington

Spokane Arts is requesting qualifications from designers interested in creating designs for several High Performance Transit (HPT) Lines including Sprague, Monroe/Regal and others.

All designs should be welcoming to all audiences and create inviting destinations for citizens, neighbors, visitors and users of the HPT Lines. AI may not be used. No images or depictions of real persons or corporate insignias, logos, and trademarks are allowed, as these might require permission to use.

Four artists will be selected for designs to be implemented over 5 years. Each selected artist will be assigned to one line and create 3 to 5 designs to be used on that route. The designs will be in designated colors and will be harmonious along the line. Designs will be harmonious with the other HPT lines and the STA brand. The STA will provide a template and measurements for the objects to be wrapped. There are several styles of electrical and communications boxes.

Artists may be asked for additional use of their images for publicity purposes with attribution to the artist. These designs will be purchased for unlimited use for the purpose of wrapping utility boxes at STA facilities along the agreed upon bus lines. Any other use will require an additional agreement between the STA and the artist.
