We were proud to help provide a little extra comfort to children and families visiting Seattle Children's Emergency Department. 💙

A huge thank you to the Seattle Police Foundation for donating more than 75 stuffed animals to our Emergency Department! 🧸

These cuddly companions will help bring comfort, smiles and a little extra joy to our patients during their visit. We’re so grateful for your generosity and for supporting our patients and families when they need it most.

Thank you, Seattle Police Foundation, for helping make a difference in the lives of our patients! 💙

Grant Highlight | Recruit Training Gym Equipment 💪

Preparing the next generation of SPD officers means supporting both their training and their physical readiness.

Through a Seattle Police Foundation grant, the recruit training facility received new fitness equipment, including a squat rack, barbell, weight plates, bench and air bike. The equipment gives recruits additional resources to build and maintain the strength and fitness required for the job, while also allowing instructors to train alongside them and model the importance of staying physically fit throughout their careers.

It’s an investment not just in equipment, but in building healthy habits and a strong foundation for the officers who will serve Seattle.

What makes a city worth investing in?

In this testimonial, lifelong Seattleite Spencer Hawes shares why public safety matters to a healthy, thriving Seattle, and why he supports that work. His perspective speaks to something bigger: residents, businesses, and local partners all have a stake in creating a city where people can live, work, and thrive safely.

Thank you to those who continue to invest in a safer Seattle through partnership and support.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders who answered the call with extraordinary courage and selflessness.

We also remember the families, colleagues and communities forever changed by that day.

We will never forget.

Supporting What Matters: Officer Wellness & Appreciation

Supporting those who serve means investing in the people behind the badge.

The Seattle Police Foundation supports programs and resources that promote physical and mental wellness, strengthen connection and recognize the dedication of SPD employees.

From wellness and fitness resources to opportunities that build camaraderie and provide a chance to recharge, these investments help support those who serve Seattle every day.

Because a strong, supported workforce is an important part of a stronger department and a safer Seattle.

Sometimes, making a difference really is as simple as a glass of cold water. 💧

For years, the North Parking Enforcement office relied on bottled water to keep staff hydrated. Through a Seattle Police Foundation grant, the office now has a purified water dispenser where PEOs and officers can refill their bottles with fresh, cold water throughout the day.

It may be a simple piece of equipment, but for staff who spend much of their shifts outside, it's already making a difference, especially during Seattle's warm summer days.

Sometimes the smallest investments make everyday work a little better.
