on Thursday, but authorities say it’s just a drill.

According to the King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO), its TAC30 Unit and the Seattle Police Department’s SWAT team are conducting a maritime training exercise from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on May 22.

Several police helicopters and vessels will also be operating in the area near Jack Block Park and the West Seattle Water Taxi Terminal.

What they’re saying

“We have made every effort to ensure aircraft flight paths stay over the water as much as possible to minimize any disruptions,” the King County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a press release.

The sheriff’s office says the West Seattle Water Taxi schedule will not be affected.

While this may seem unusual, the KCSO says its TAC30 Unit and Seattle SWAT team are constantly training to provide quality police services to the people of King County.
