We chased this one an hour ago but got there as fire crews were leaving — it had been a big “rescue/rope” callout on the 911 log, official address in the 3400 block of West Marginal. Couldn’t tell at the time what had happened but we’ve just gotten an update from a Seattle Fire spokesperson, who says a 50-year-old man suffered “minor trauma” while operating a crane at Terminal 5 (the West Seattle side of the container-ship area). Firefighters arrived, the spokesperson says, and discovered the man was “stable”; they used a harness to help him get down via the crane elevator. He was able to walk once he got down, but to be on the safe side, he was taken to a hospital to be checked out.
