Thai to go offers specialty foods in a tasty combination

First time business owners use their experience to start something new

As the pandemic ends many people are beginning to test the waters and among them are partners Link and Tata, very experienced restaurant managers who have just started Thai to Go. Operating out the commissary kitchen at USI in the West Seattle Triangle, Tata is the chef and Link runs the rest of the company including doing some limited deliveries. They came to America ten years ago.

One dead, three injured in Alki shooting Monday night

information from Seattle Police Blotter

One man was killed and three others were shot late Monday night at Alki Beach.

Just before midnight, multiple 911 callers reported a shooting in the 2600 block of Alki Avenue Southwest. When police arrived, a citizen was performing CPR on one of the victims. Officers took over and attempted life-saving measures, but the man was declared deceased at the scene. Two additional victims – a man and a woman – were transported from the scene by ambulance in stable condition. Another male victim was taken to the hospital in a personal vehicle.

According to witnesses, two groups got into an argument that escalated and led to the shooting.

Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz came to the scene and asked the public for help with any information regarding this incident. "We've had over 222 shots fired in this year alone. We've got to figure out ways to keep these guns off the streets," Diaz said.
