Protect Yourself from Holiday Scams in Normandy Park This Season
The holiday season is a time for celebration, generosity, and connecting with loved ones—but unfortunately, it’s also a peak time for scammers. Across the region, reports of online, phone, and delivery-related scams tend to rise in November and December. Here are a few tips to help Normandy Park residents stay safe and protect their personal information this holiday season.
- Watch for package-delivery scams.
Scammers often send fake delivery notifications claiming a package is held or requires additional information. If you receive a suspicious text or email, don’t click the link. Instead, go directly to the delivery carrier’s official website or check your legitimate tracking number. - Be cautious with online deals.
If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Stick to trusted retailers, avoid clicking on ads from unknown sources, and double-check that websites are secure before entering any payment information. - Look out for fake charity requests. The holidays bring increased charitable giving, and scammers take advantage of that generosity. Before donating, verify that the organization is legitimate. Reputable charities will never pressure you to donate immediately, and they won’t ask for gift cards or wire transfers.
- Guard your personal information.
Banks, government agencies, and real companies won’t call or email to request your Social Security number, bank account details, or passwords. If you receive a message requesting sensitive information, hang up or delete it, and contact the organization directly using a verified phone number. - Be careful on public Wi-Fi.
When shopping or banking online, avoid using public Wi-Fi networks, as they are easier for scammers to exploit. Instead, use your home network or mobile data. - Report suspicious activity.
If you encounter a scam or questionable message, please report it. Normandy Park residents can contact the Normandy Park Police Department for guidance.
A little awareness goes a long way. By staying alert and taking a few extra precautions, you can help ensure that your holidays remain safe, festive, and fraud-free. For additional resources or questions, please contact the Police Department at (206)248-7600 or our crime prevention Officer, Erynn Mast, at emast@normandyparkwa.gov.
If you have any questions about the information above or any other City topic, please get in touch with me at aarrington@normandyparkwa.gov. Have a great week!

City Council Meeting Roundup. On Tuesday, December 9th, the Normandy Park City Council held its regular monthly meeting. Below is a summary of key actions and discussions. Approval of the Miller and Walker Creeks Basin Stewardship 2026 Technical Services Agreement – Normandy Park continues to partner with Burien, SeaTac, King County, and the Port of Seattle to protect and improve Miller and Walker Creeks. This agreement hires technical experts to help manage environmental work, improve water quality, support fish and wildlife habitat, and meet the City’s stormwater permit requirements. Approving it allows this shared work to continue. Amendment to the Sunnyside City Jail Interlocal Agreement – The City contracts with the City of Sunnyside for jail services. This amendment changes the daily cost from $64 to $76.59 per person. Even with the increase, Sunnyside remains the most cost-effective option compared to other available jail contracts.
