Working with the school district, we have learned that the origin of the alleged threat was an overheard conversation in a local store. With the help of the store manager, we identified the two students who were having the conversation. They were subsequently questioned by our officers. The two students independently verified that they had been in the store talking about the threat that surfaced at FHS on Monday of this week. Their conversation was not about a new threat.
The good news is that our community is working together to report anything they believe is suspicious in order to ensure the safety of students, staff, and families.
Thank you for your patience. We take every threat seriously and always take every precaution. This morning we worked hand-in-hand with our Ferndale Schools and the incident has been successfully resolved.
You are invited to join us next Friday, Nov. 2nd at 12:30pm for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate our new ADA accessible Pioneer Pathways. See the latest addition to our historic Pioneer Village up close after some brief remarks. Attendees will meet at the main gate to the park.
If you have any questions, please contact Communications Officer Riley Sweeney 360-685-2353.
Please join us this Friday, October 26th at 1pm when the City re-opens Washington Street, between Main Street and Vista Drive.

On 10/22/2018 Ferndale Police were advised of a school shooting threat involving the Ferndale High School and a current student. The juvenile male who made the threat was identified and booked into Whatcom County Juvenile Detention.
On the evening of 10/22/2018, two different parents notified the police that their sons reported during school on this date, a fellow student told them that they should not go to school on Wednesday and that he was going to shoot it up. Several other students were identified as hearing the comment. The students were interviewed and corroborated the initial report.
The student that made the threat was contacted at this residence at approximately 2100 hours on 10/22/2018. He admitted to making the comment. He was arrested and booked into Whatcom County Juvenile Detention (RCW 9.61.160 – Threats to Bomb or Injure Property).
Although the arrestee didn’t have immediate access to any weapons, there are firearms stored in a safe in the family home.
There is no indication that any other students were involved in the threat and is appears that the arrestee was acting alone. It is not known why the student made the threat or if he had plans to carry out with the threat.
