West Seattle Crime Watch: Playfield ‘snack shack’ break-in

The “snack shack” used by West Seattle Baseball at Riverview Playfield has been broken into, reports parent volunteer Michelle, who sent the photo. She says someone broke in Monday night, “damaging the building and making a huge mess” along with making off with some money. “We are so bummed someone would do this. … Fortunately it’s the end of the season, and not more was taken.” It’s not the first time the “shack” has been targeted, though; Michelle says volunteers have spent time painting over graffiti vandalism.

It’s just down the hill from my house, but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t mean I broke into it either….

OK, assuming all crime in the area is because of NV is just unfair and non-productive. At the some time, I would point out that it may be a 1.2 mile trip as a car would travel, but it is far less than that via the trail off of Highland Park Way. It would be something less than half a mile or about the distance I walk to my bus stop.
