WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Carjacking on Harbor Avenue (updated)

ORIGINAL SUNDAY REPORT: About the same time police were dispatched to the flipped car on the bridge, they got word of a carjacking and assault. The victim is reported to have been carjacked near Salty’s on Alki (1936 Harbor SW) and assaulted in the process; he went to the Harbor Avenue 7-11 and SFD medics treated him there. The stolen car is described as a 2006 black Porsche Cayenne. No other info so far.

ADDED EARLY TUESDAY: We obtained the police-report narrative. Police say they got “various conflicting accounts about the circumstances” from the man who said he was carjacked. They say he wouldn’t give descriptions, he gave two different locations for where it happened, and though he said he’d been hit on the head, police found no “obvious signs of injuries.” He also didn’t know his license plate number and police couldn’t find anything in the system registered in his name. No witnesses or video either, according to the police report.

    Seems to be a lot of bad things happening on Harbor Ave. What’s going on there to make this stretch sketchy?

    Very sorry this happened to you. I hope they find your car and that you fully recover. ❤️

      Agree with sunny day. This should not happen in west Seattle. How awful. God bless. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

    Carjacking is a federal crime, but only if the vehicle is transported across state lines afterwards. The law needs to be updated to remove the state crossing requirement.

      Do you believe federal charges would discourage this kind of crime more than state charges?  If so why?

        Here’s one.More than 90% of individuals who are prosecuted in federal court are convicted.

          I guess that is why Trump was so worried
