WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Indecent exposure at local park, suspect seen before

M.reports “a man that has been frequenting splash parks, wading pools and just watching kids at parks for months if not longer. Today he was caught by a parent – self pleasuring at a High Point park and the police were called. He got away before they arrived but another parent, myself and the nearby school and community center all had information and photos of the man from previous encounters. He’s very aggressive and shouldn’t be approached. He was also seen flashing people in the community. … I’m writing to share his photo and car so that others are aware to call police If he’s spotted. Car – Honda – dark goldish color, dent in driver door. He’s removed his front plate recently.”

The photo is from a month ago; he had close-shaven dark hair. Today he was spotted at Walt Hundley Playfield and that’s when police were called; the SPD incident # is 25-288240.

Appreciate you bringing attention to this -but what are we supposed to identify him by-his clothes? Photo is a month old -maybe he’s changed them by now. Any photos of his face? Any other description other than close shaven dark hair? Are you prevented from showing his face?

Steve October 2, 2025 (6:37 pm)

Looks like he has Vaseline or lotion in his hand.

Guy October 2, 2025 (6:58 pm)

Is there a photograph of his face?

WS98 October 2, 2025 (8:15 pm)

So disgusting, I hope he’s caught soon. That’s his clothing today, it would be helpful to have a picture that includes his face.

I used to live in this neighborhood and let me tell you… I was doing yard work one day when some man (ordinary looking guy) came to our front gate and just flashed me. All – be aware there are creeps in every neighborhood. Parents, please be careful with your kiddos! The police couldn’t do anything and told me it’s so rare in this neighborhood but I’m afraid to say we need to stay vigilant!

Delridge October 2, 2025 (9:14 pm)

Is his face really not in the photo or did it get cropped accidentally?

Rhonda October 3, 2025 (12:53 am)

Here in Arbor Heights we have a male in the neighborhood who gardens naked in his front yard. We make a wide circle.

KellyS October 3, 2025 (5:55 am)

was his face cropped out intentionally?

TiredMom October 3, 2025 (6:59 am)

No face? We need to see his ugly mug. Blast this creep

Eyes in the sky also known as cameras would apprehend many of these criminals and psychopathes. These deviants rely on under staffed police to evade detection and arrest. Cameras would provide police with immediate proof of the crime being committed and by whom. Eventually the hoodlum would be identified either by public input or police detection.

Super ew!

John S October 3, 2025 (9:32 am)

More than likely this individual is already a registered sex offender & most likely in WA state maybe even Seattle. Between that photo, the tattoo on his arm & vehicle it shouldn’t take law enforcement long to track down his identity & make an arrest especially with such technology available now to them .

RonJ October 3, 2025 (9:24 pm)

And what would law enforcement do with a repeat offender, referring to the recent mayoral debates? Will we vote differently this time for change? Asking for a friend….

Anna October 3, 2025 (10:40 am)

@wsb Curious if there’s a reason you’re not showing his face? Maybe legal reason?

flimflam October 3, 2025 (11:59 am)

We not show the creeps face?

I love law October 3, 2025 (12:39 pm)

If WSB has a good faith belief that the photo of this creep is true and not fabricated, publish his face. Seattle Police barely exist anymore. Crimes like this flourish – as shown here, they didn’t get there after being called, the creep escaped, and only the photo remains. Hiding his face to avoid civil liability that will never exist is shameful.

WSB October 3, 2025 (1:17 pm)

It’s not civil liability. We stare that down all the time (last time somebody threatened – groundlessly – to sue was just a few days ago, in fact, different story). Our ethics are that we will publish a face (as we have many, many times) if we are certain it’s the criminal because it shows the person actually committing the crime, or if we’ve at least seen another photo/video of the person committing the crime. In this case, we have not and the person who contacted us told me they do not have anything resembling that type of visual. (If anyone does, please let us know.) Absent that, I can’t be sure there isn’t a small but real chance we’d be identifying the wrong person. – TR

“Seattle police barely exist anymore “

This is a weird way of saying you don’t like the way the police force is run; I assure you, they exist and are working (presumably) as directed by the chief of police. If you instead are trying to say there’s no known way to eliminate crime and that’s a bummer I do sympathize with you.

He was parked outside a daycare on delridge today- 10:30am- I called police. Hopefully they got him. For those wondering he is Asian and middle aged prob 30-35ish. He has been in these same clothes the several times I’ve seen him.
