Seattle (ngày 28 tháng 6 năm 2021) – Với nhiệt độ dự kiến sẽ vượt qua mức cao kỷ lục của Seattle hiện nay và đạt tới 107 độ, Thành phố Seattle đang báo cáo công suất khả dụng tại các trung tâm tránh nóng bao gồm một trung tâm giữ mát mới tại Công viên Magnuson và Trung tâm Hội nghị Amazon đang là nơi giữ mát chính thức với sức chứa đến 1.000 người.
Thành phố Seattle và các đối tác đã mở 36 “trung tâm giữ mát” bao gồm trung tâm cấp cao (6), trung tâm cộng đồng (3), thư viện (13), trung tâm vệ sinh / ban ngày (10) và nơi trú ẩn khẩn cấp cho người vô gia cư (2). đến 30 bãi biển, hồ bơi, công viên nước và hồ bơi lội. Tất cả các địa điểm và giờ hoạt động khác nhau.
Cuối tuần này, thư viện và các hoạt động dưới nước được người dân và gia đình sử dụng nhiều nhất. Năng lực tiếp tục được cung cấp tại các trung tâm cộng đồng cũng như các trung tâm ban ngày và nơi trú ẩn khẩn cấp cho những người vô gia cư.
Seattle City Light (SCL) tiếp tục dự kiến nguồn lực đầy đủ để đáp ứng sự gia tăng tải do đợt nắng nóng. Các nhân viên của SCL đã ứng phó với một số trường hợp mất điện liên quan đến nhiệt trong các hệ thống ngầm nằm rải rác khắp lãnh thổ phục vụ của chúng tôi trong vài ngày qua. SCL cũng đã hủy bỏ tất cả các đợt cúp điện theo kế hoạch cho đến hết Thứ Ba, ngày 28 tháng 6. Chúng tôi sẽ quyết định từng ngày về các đợt cúp điện theo kế hoạch trong tương lai.
Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) giám sát chặt chẽ việc sử dụng nước đang có xu hướng tăng lên khi nhiệt độ tăng cao, nhưng Utility báo cáo rằng nó có nguồn cung cấp dồi dào để đáp ứng nhu cầu ngày càng tăng. SPU báo cáo khoảng 206 triệu gallon nước đã được sử dụng vào Chủ Nhật.

UPDATED: Seattle Public Utilities
SPU Solid Waste contractors are not collecting Monday customers’ food and yard waste so contractors can finish routes earlier and avoid extreme heat. SPU has sent out text or email messages to Monday customers regarding skipped food and yard waste collection; Monday customers’ garbage and recycling will be picked up.
Solid Waste contractors will also begin servicing residential customer routes one hour earlier on Monday and Tuesday. SPU Monday customers are asked to set out their garbage and recycling by 6 a.m. Monday, and Tuesday customers are asked to set out garbage, recycling and yard/food waste by 6 am.
Because of the extreme heat forecasted, the City’s North and South Transfer Stations, operated by Seattle Public Utilities, will close at 2 p.m. on Monday, June 28, to self-haul service. The temporary, early closure protects SPU staff, who continue to wear masks per CDC guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic, from heat-related illnesses. It also reduces fire risk with certain types of self-haul waste.
Outreach and Day Centers for People Experiencing Homelessness
To support those living unsheltered in the excessive heat, the HOPE Team, in partnership with outreach providers, Seattle Fire Department Health One and Seattle Police Department Community Service Officers, are conducting welfare checks, handing out water and basic needs supplies, and providing other supports, including transportation to cooling centers and shelter.

Beat the Heat: Stay Cool with The Arts
With the next few days bringing record-breaking heat to Seattle, Seattle Arts and Culture have put together a list of air-conditioned arts organizations you can visit to experience the vibrant arts and culture in our city all while staying cool!
Partnership with Pacific Place and Local Malls and Movie Theaters
During extreme heat events, local malls (Pacific Place and Northgate Station in Seattle) and movie theaters provide good places to cool off and access to air conditioning. Understanding that many residents and visitors will likely be downtown or on the waterfront over the weekend, the City of Seattle has partnered with Pacific Place to provide promotions to residents who stop by to cool off and access the air conditioning through Monday, June 28. These promotions are entirely optional; cooling off at Pacific Place is available regardless of participation in the below promotions.
Through Monday, all those who visit Pacific Place will have access to the following promotions:
- AMC: Unlimited popcorn refills through Wednesday, June 30
- AT&T: Buy two accessories, get one free
- Aveda: Free liter of hand and body wash with $125 purchase through Sunday, June 27
- Bezel & Kiln: Free gift with $50 purchase
- Ghost Gallery: 10% off all purchases
- The Handmade Showroom: Free gift with $20 purchase
- Pike Place Chowder: 10% off chilled gazpacho
Supportive Services
The Department of Finance and Administrative Services (FAS) is coordinating with City departments to proactively respond to the upcoming heat event. FAS is supporting HSD and Parks by distributing supplies to shelter locations. The department also has designated teams in security, property management and logistics on 24-hour standby, that way it can be as nimble and responsive as possible throughout the heat event should additional resources need to be deployed.
