I believe I saw her on our block (51st between Hudson and Edmonds) but unfortunately that was a few hours ago.She was wearing an oversized light blue T-shirt and walking south.

Saw her about 15 minutes ago. Sitting on a stoop at 3011 62nd Ave SW. she was wearing a white blouse with blue and purple flowers on the blouse. The blue tee shirt was rolled up beside her. I contacted 911 with the info.

This great news. My mother has dementia too, it’s always a fear in the back of our minds that she’ll wander off. WSB getting the notice out early is why this is the go-to source for all local information. Nice work, WSB!
