As part of the Great Washington ShakeOut, tsunami alert sirens will be tested at 10:19 a.m. using the real sound of the siren, not the Westminster Chimes that typically happen during the monthly tests. NOAA weather radios set to receive the required monthly test will also activate during this test. The tests will happen across every coastal community in the state, except for Sandy Point in Whatcom County, which has opted out of the test. The state works with local jurisdictions to install the All Hazard Alert Broadcast sirens on the coast. Five new sirens are being installed this month in Seabrook, Ocean Shores, Bellingham, Port of Chinook and Raymond bringing the total number of coastal sirens to 69.
Question and Answer sessions with earthquake experts will be done using Facebook Live and Washington Emergency Management’s Nextdoor account in the days before ShakeOut. On Oct. 19, earthquake preparedness experts from the Washington Emergency Management Division will join scientists with the Washington Department of Natural Resources and the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network to gather online for a Reddit Ask Me Anything – an online Q&A. The public is invited to ask questions here.

Get inspired this St. Patrick’s Day by perusing original art created by the Grays Harbor community. North Coast Montessori, an elementary and middle school in Seabrook, Washington’s beach town, will host its second annual St. Patrick’s Day Art Show.
The exhibit will showcase original work in various media – including paintings, drawings, prints, photography, mixed media and sculpture – from artists of all ages who live or work in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Thirty percent of event proceeds will be donated to the North Coast Montessori Scholarship Fund, which contributes to full and partial scholarships to the school for students in grades K-8. The goal of the event is to provide scholarships for 1-2 students for the 2018-19 school year.
Guests can enjoy refreshments, green beer and champagne while appreciating local artists’ creations. After finding their next masterpiece, visitors can explore the surrounding area’s quaint shops, walking trails, parks and homes.
