Bus Driver Beaten

    The metro driver that was attacked and beaten unconscious last night was my mother, and a long time alki resident. Please pray for her.

    What would be so hard about building metal enclosures to keep our drivers (and relatives) safe from physical attacks? This is like the 8th one in two years...

    Absolutely, and I'm so sorry to hear of this.

  3. Breanna, I am also sorry to hear of this. We got the King County Sheriff's Office news release on this this afternoon and were shocked to hear how brutal and random it was; it mentioned no West Seattle links (or even White Center) so we hadn't published it here on WSB. Now we will. If there is anything else you would like folks to know, please e-mail me:
    editor@westseattleblog.com

    And if there is anything that people can do, in addition to pray/send good thoughts, please let us know that too.

  4. Breanna, I'll keep you and your Mom in my thoughts.

    I've ridden METRO, for over 35 years now, and am a bit of a bus geek, so I feel a special connection to the Drivers.

    Take Care,
    Mike

    what the hell is happening to our youth? gangs turning kids violent for what purpose?

    I hate that they kill each other, and attack police officers, but attacking a bus driver; so bizarre; if this isn’t a cry for help, desperate need for youth intervention, I don’t know what is

    any commentary and/or action from Metro, Dow, McGinn, anyone?
