UPDATE: About the police responses near 35th/Avalon, 57th/Alki

6:59 PM: We’re getting questions about a big police response near 35th/Avalon. The initial report to which they responded was that a man was seen with a ‘sawed-off shotgun’ but they are still trying to track down the source of that report to verify it. Avoid the area in the meantime.

7:11 PM: No verification on that, ultimately, so police have moved on.

Some of them headed to 57th/Alki after an officer pulled over a vehicle that was reported to dispatch as having plates from a potentially stolen vehicle. They’re investigating. That kind of call – with a possible felony involved – requires backup, so that’s what the big response was about.

      Just added that. Vehicle with plates that reportedly belonged to another vehicle that was in the system as stolen.

    Police responses every evening this year. Seems like many more than in years past?

    I was eating at Taco Time with when the four police cars pulled up and cops in riot gear with assault rifles got out. It was freaky watching them march towards us with guns pointed at us. We didn’t see a guy with a shotgun. What a Mother’s Day memory!!

Sorry, comment time is over.
