Topic: Man killed in WS in 2020
I was surprised to see this story in Seattle Times earlier this month. I had never heard about this event, and I didn’t see any reporting on WSB from the time frame (maybe I missed it?)
A man being killed by residents in much the same way as George Floyd died in the winter after the protests seems newsworthy to me, but I can’t find any other coverage besides the ST article. Seems like it would be as much of a topic as the latest gunfire, car accident, package theft etc.
Is this something everyone knows about? Can anyone point me to other coverage?

The following stories were submitted by WSTL Members for a 2023 grant proposal:
“WSTL is a pillar for our community, providing not only the tools, but sharing the
knowledge necessary to complete the tasks.”“Sharing tools with neighbors helps me feel like I’m in a supportive community where people care about one another and where we do things together.”
“The first 6 months of being homeowners we were fortunate to have utilized the tool library at least every other week. The staff were so helpful, friendly and we were able to meet neighbors during drop-off and pick-up. This is one of the best resources West Seattle has to offer to its community.”
“Some of the first friendly faces I met in West Seattle were at the tool library! As a brown woman folks often do not expect me to be able to fix things around the house myself. The volunteers at the tool library treated me with respect. Successfully executing these house projects gave me a lot of confidence in my own abilities and pride in my home which allowed me to be a more engaged neighbor.”
“I love the WSTL so much. It teaches repair, it makes woodworking and building accessible to a much wider group. …WSTL also aims to inspire people to participate in community projects such as park restorations and pursue sustainability through fun projects like backyard gardens, home energy improvements, water harvesting, and other environmental projects.”
“In our family, WSTL has been an invaluable resource. When we bought our house, it needed many repairs, but hiring professional contractors would have stretched our budget too thin. Instead, we turned to WSTL, where we were able to borrow all the tools we needed, from power drills to ladders. Furthermore, WSTL’s workshops and educational resources empowered us to tackle these repairs ourselves, helping us to save a significant amount of money while also gaining new skills.”
Candidate Process:
Visit the WSTL website: wstools.org
Visit the WSTL facilities (4408 DELRIDGE WAY SW, SEATTLE WA 98106) during business hours, let one of the Librarians know you are a potential candidate to be a paid or Volunteer Librarian and ask to be shown around
