We were honored to be part of the Nick of Time youth heart screening at Vashon Island High School yesterday.
More than 350 students aged 12-24 received vital screenings to detect hidden heart conditions and reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death. Additionally, students had the chance to acquire skills in hands-only CPR and AED usage. #community #weprotectvashon Nick of Time Foundation

Thank you to all involved! 💜

This was such an incredible event! What a gift to our community to have had so many of our young people get their hearts checked. Thank you everyone who volunteered! <3

After yesterday’s heavy rain, a mudslide occurred on Biloxi Road, reminding us of the unpredictable forces of nature. Thankfully, the homeowners were away. Unfortunately the house experienced damage.
Since more rain is on the way, here are some tips to stay safe during heavy rains:

1. Stay informed about weather conditions.
2. Be ready to evacuate quickly.
3. Reinforce slopes and drainage.
4. Prepare a kit with essential supplies, including water, food, and important documents, in case of evacuation.

Stay safe and prepared! #weprotectvashon
