Social Services | Prince George's County, MDThere are two air conditioned cooling center locations on Vashon Island, open from 10:00am to 6:00pm, Saturday through Monday. Masks and social distancing are required at both of these locations.

  • The lobby of Vashon Center for the Arts, south of town at 19600 Vashon Highway at the intersection with Cemetery Road.
  • Subway restaurant, in town at 17408 Vashon Highway one block north of the intersection with Bank Road.

Both locations are offering free water or soft drinks to cooling center drop ins. Folks in need of transportation to reach the cooling centers can arrange a trip by contacting Vashon Community Van at 206-263-5901 or email communityvan@kingcounty.gov, or go online to:

https://kingcounty.gov/depts/local-services/programs/vashon-community-van.aspx

Although the King County library would normally be designated as an official cooling center, it will not be opening on Sunday and Monday. To fill the gap, the VashonBePrepared nonprofit is covering the cost of staff time, cleaning and hydration for the two locations that are lending their space during this heat emergency.
