In case you wondered too: Here’s why all those King County Sheriff’s Office vehicles were ferrying to/from Vashon

Several readers asked about a major sighting of police vehicles in the Fauntleroy ferry dock vicinity in the past few hours. They were King County Sheriff’s Office vehicles, including SWAT, heading to/from Vashon Island, and a story from the Vashon Beachcomber explains why: An incident on Cove Road [map] involving a domestic-violence suspect. The Beachcomber reports that the suspect is in custody.

Thanks for reporting this. I got word about it through a Facebook group but couldn’t find anything on any news channel. I was very worried about friends there and their safety.Fortunately it was quickly resolved. With that large a police presence I was very concerned but I suppose they figured better safe than sorry and sent lots of Sheriffs.Beats airlifting them by helicopter if they needed more backup.And I thought Vashon was so much safer 😕

Sorry, comment time is over.
