From the “in case you were wondering” file: 35th/Alaska

Received a few notes/calls about a notable police presence surrounding a Metro bus at 35th/Alaska in the past hour and a half or so. Southwest Precinct Lt. Ron Smith says the call involved a “disturbance” on the bus – primary responding agency was Metro Transit police, with SPD as backup. No other details; no aid/fire crews were summoned, which would generally mean no injuries involved. THURSDAY MORNING UPDATE: Metro police are part of the King County Sheriff’s Office, so we checked on this with Sgt. John Urquhart – he confirms there were no injuries and says no one was arrested, either – the person causing the disturbance apparently needed mental-health attention.

    35th and Alaska was one busy corner last night. Anyone know what was taking place at the VFW Hall that had a crowd standing outside?

Sorry, comment time is over.
