    About a half dozen SPD cars were just flying north on Delridge- any idea on where they are going or what the incident is?

      Whatever it was, it ended, outside West Seattle, before I tuned in. Will be following up,

    Just a reminder that every intersection is a pedestrian crossing and cars must stop for  them and allow them to cross.   Even if there is no crosswalk.  Unfortunately, drivers don’t know this.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
