**Vancouver, WA: Safe Exchange Zones for Secure Holiday Shopping**
The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) in Vancouver, Washington, has set up Safe Exchange Zones to ensure residents can safely buy, sell, or trade items during the holiday season. These zones are particularly helpful for those exchanging gifts or meeting with buyers and sellers during the busy holiday rush.
Safe Exchange Zones are well-lit areas located at three VPD precincts:
- **VPD West Precinct**: 2800 NE Stapleton Rd.
- **VPD East Precinct**: 512 SE 155th Ave.
- **VPD Headquarters**: 605 E Evergreen Blvd.
These designated spots are designed to provide a secure environment, reducing the risks associated with meeting at unfamiliar locations or private residences.
The initiative serves as a reminder to prioritize safety during holiday transactions and encourages community members to use these zones for stress-free exchanges.
Happy holidays, and happy gifting!
