We’ve received a few questions about these SWAT officers and vehicles along 41st near Oregon in The Junction. WSB’s Christopher Boffoli has confirmed it’s another training exercise, same house where he photographed officers training one month ago, at the future site of a residential center for people in need of memory care. This time, they tell Christopher, the training focus is on hostage-situation negotiations.
Why can’t they have more friendly looking vehicles? Everything looks sinister black. Even the precinct near Home Depot does not look friendly at all. High black fence and all. “serve and protect?” Hmmmm… How about some nice flowers, or animals painted on there for the kids?
Gosh, sorry, Steve, things do seem to be going in that direction. The cheery light-blue paint job on the patrol vehicles is being traded out for full navy blue, for example, and the uniforms are also dark now, no more medium-blue shirts. The precinct, though, is kind of friendly looking on the Delridge side, with the public-art installation and all …
Maybe they could could use retired, refurbished, Weinermobiles! ;-)

And the SWAT team members should wear Barney the Dinosaur costumes.
Sorry, comment time is over.
