| Crime | West Seattle news | West Seattle police

It’s continued to be a busy night for West Seattle police. Right now they’re at one confirmed incident 0 the 16th/Holden 7-Eleven, was reported to have been robbed a short time ago. No weapons, but the robbers got away with “many bottles of alcohol” and cash. Description for all three: Black, male, 16-20, face masks, dark clothing.

Police are also still looking for evidence that would confirm gunfire in either or both of two places where many people reported hearing it within the past hour – Arbor Heights and Lincoln Park. Officers have checked multiple potential locations in both but so far we haven’t heard any reports of them finding evidence (casings, property damage, injured people).

At the same time Starbucks employees are striking because the company wants them to have unified look. Welcome to food service. If you don’t like it go work at a 7-11 I think they wear whatever they want.

I have no idea what Starbucks has to do with this crime.

When will WS and greater Seattle get a respite from the ongoing crime. I just read a report that three people were “shot to death” and one wounded at Pioneer Square early this morning. Is this acceptable to Seattle’s citizens/voters?

Young people have the wrong mindset to create a more peaceful society. At the same time it’s not their fault the media and parents raising their offspring have gone too far and haven’t taught critical thinking. In a world of exploitation from drugs, violence, government, and money, they have all been suckerd in to losing self worth and values. Quit stooping to the level they want you to and feeding into the negative media. Grow up be smart create a better world by doing good things even when no one is there to give you a like on your phone.

100%. I am a 53 year old Dad with a 7 year old, wife works at AH Elem. I hate to be yelling at clouds but damn, we grew up in the 70’s where we really had to figure things out, without “old people” (me now :) ) being around. Critical thinking was a requirement to get thru the terrifying streets of Redmond, WA 🤣 Anyhoo, while I never used to believe “too much info is too much”, I’m seeing this pressed hard on kiddos. Need an answer? Past: Figure that shit out, Present: Google it and hope it’s not some dude trying to mansplain his limited knowledge. For us, getting back to Lincoln Park, on the whale network, check out eagles flying above. I love progress, just want kids to be kids while they can. Peace bud…
