Dec 18 is WA State Blood Donor Day. A day to commemorate the terrible tragedy that occurred in 2017 when an Amtrak 501 passenger train derailed near DuPont WA, killing 3 people and injuring 57 more passengers and crew members. Many of the injured needed blood this day and thankfully a plentiful blood supply was available.
In honor of this day and to help ensure blood is available for future emergencies and other daily patient needs, the City of Normandy Park (801 SW 174th St) is partnering with Bloodworks Northwest once again to run another pop-up blood donation event on Mon Dec 6 and Tues Dec 7 in the council chambers.
To ensure social distancing, appointments are required. Please make your appointment HERE
