I usually hate to do this but I’ve broken the search out into a different story because this one was muddied up with the earlier unrelated helicopter sighting – please move over to http://westseattleblog.com/?p=143619

Can hear them in the Shorewood on the Sound neighborhood and have been for some time… (Near Shorewood Elementary.) Thanks for keeping us updated! WS Blog is the first place we go to when we hear helicopters or other similar things!

Thanks for keeping us posted. My husband went through by Shorewood grocery at 26th and they were not letting traffic through about 10 minutes ago.

Have just added to the story. We’re just about to talk to KCSO’s PIO, who is here but took some finding since the law enforcement presence is spread out.

I just spoke with a KC Sheriff’s deputy who confirmed a search in the block to the northwest of the Shorewood grocery, south of the Roxbury Safeway.

It did have logos and was exactly like the copter in the link that Watcher posted.

They’ll all be down in Shorewood in a few minutes. Police have the block that the Shorewood grocery is on surrounded. King five copter just arrived!

It didn’t have any logos. And it wasn’t as loud as Guardian One, which has a distinctive low “thump.” This one appeared to be lighter and of a turquoise hue. Sure seemed to mimic a search pattern though.
