November 2024 - Interim Police Facilities

The Police Department has been significantly impacted by the closure of City Hall, which housed the police precinct. The City explored a number of alternatives for the Police Department, landing on leasing modular buildings. The lead time on these buildings was over a year. The Department initially relocated to the Mercer Island Community & Event Center and then over the summer moved to the Luther Burbank Building. The modular buildings opened for use in the fall of 2024.
