The Excessive Heat Warning issued by the National Weather Service has been extended one more day through Saturday evening. High temperatures over the next several days are forecast in the range of 90 to 94 degrees. There will be relief overnight as temperatures fall into the low sixties.

The National Weather Service classifies this as a level three heat risk event out of a possible four levels in the National Weather Service classification system. Level three means the heat is a high risk for much of the population, especially those who are heat-sensitive and those without effective cooling or adequate hydration.

VashonBePrepared and the Vashon Emergency Operations Center, in collaboration with Vashon Island Fire & Rescue, have worked with community partners to open two cooling centers on Vashon and they will continue in operation with some changes in opening hours.

Vashon Public Library will be open today from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. The library is at Ober Park, 17210 Vashon Highway SW.

Vashon Center for the Arts will be open from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm. VCA is at the intersection of Vashon Highway and Cemetery Road, 19600 Vashon Highway SW.
