Recently, the King County Sheriff’s Office gun buyback event in Shoreline was a standout success, reflecting the community’s shared commitment to safety and well‑being. Cars lined up early and participation remained steady throughout the day. Thanks to the strong turnout, the program collected 211 firearms and distributed $34,050 in gift cards. One person turned in 20 guns, receiving $4,000 in gift cards. The positive response underscores the value of collaboration with King County Public Health. Watch the Fox13 coverage here.
