Why officers are at 24th and Holden right now

2:01 AM: Via text and e-mail, several people have asked us about some kind of police operation at 24th and Holden, including use of a loudspeaker/megaphone to try to get someone to come out. Southwest Precinct Lt. Alan Williams says King County is serving a warrant – in other words, trying to arrest somebody and/or conduct a search – and SPD is not involved. So we don’t know what or who the subject of the warrant is, but we will ask the Sheriff’s Office later this morning.

12:21 PM: KCSO spokesperson Sgt. Cindi West says it was NOT their operation – their SWAT team WAS out last night but in an entirely different part of the county. So we’re still trying to find out what this was about.

Woke the hubby and myself up at 1am. Brought memories of Georgetown back.

I was just about to note, I have so far been unable to get more info – KCSO’s spokesperson says it was NOT their operation; their SWAT team was busy in some entirely different part of the county last night. Going to check with SPD again…

Thanks for looking into this. It woke me up as well and I heard “come out with your hands up” and “we have the house surrounded.” I’d really like to know what it was about. If not a police operation, could have been some kind of prank?

Sorry, comment time is over.
