Police Respond to Threat at Kamiak High School

Kamiak High School

On December 4th, around 2 pm during school dismissal, officers responded to an online threat at Kamiak High School (10801 Harbour Pointe Blvd).

Officers from Mukilteo Police, the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, and the Washington State Patrol worked to search the area and identify any possible threats to the school.

Following the search, it was determined that there was no threat to Kamiak or the surrounding area. Nothing suspicious was located, and officers worked with students and staff to clear the campus.

It became apparent that several other schools around the state may have received a similar online threat. There is also information that the threat may have originated from an outside source, unrelated to Mukilteo.

There was a heavy police presence, and the area was congested as students and staff left in buses, vehicles, and on foot. We want to thank all students, staff, and community members
for their patience as officers worked to ensure the area’s safety.

Chief Illyn stated, “We take all threats of this nature extremely seriously. The safety of our kids in this area is our highest priority. I am grateful for the prompt response from officers and want to thank our neighboring agencies, including the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and the Washington State Patrol for their assistance”.
