The scholarship was established in memory of Randy Terlicker, a Seattle firefighter who died in the Pang warehouse fire in 1995. Randy was the Lynnwood Aquatics Supervisor from 1988 to 1990. He became a Seattle firefighter in 1990 but continued to teach water safety classes for the city of Lynnwood. A memorial plaque and blue spruce tree were dedicated in October 1995 at the Lynnwood Recreation Center in Randy’s honor.
