during pursuit in Burien
A suspect eluding police in Burien March 19 managed to jump from his moving truck just moments before the vehicle plunged 100 feet down an embankment and landed on its roof.
The crash occurred during an early morning high-speed chase that started after sheriff's deputies were called to a home in White Center where two people were arguing. One of them had a weapon.

A problem at the West Seattle Police Precinct prevented us from reviewing reports this week. Megan Sheppard assures us the problem is temporary and her column will return next week.
I am lately persuaded that the fifth horseman of the apocalypse drives a small Japanese pickup truck.
They are the nightmare image of the cable-news age, these battered vehicles, packed with men and small boys armed to the teeth and willing to kill anyone who crosses their path. They destroy not only lives but society itself in the ruined countries where they hunt.
This image has not been lost on Hollywood, always on the lookout for the latest deadly maze to run their action heroes through.
Hopefully some of you remember when, last year, I wrote about SakuraCon, the anime convention at the Washington State Convention Center, and posted a picture of myself in costume (I was not exactly fond of that particular photo and had not expected it to be printed so prominently, oh well...). If not, perhaps some of you can recall seeing many an odd sight when wandering around downtown Seattle last March.
Once San Francisco was a city filled with vibrant people enjoying its beauty and its relatively good weather. Visitors came from far and wide, enjoyed the City by the Bay, shivered in summer when winds from the Pacific Ocean blew in and basked in the warmth of a January in the sun.
Youth from around the nation, and particularly the western part of the country, flooded into San Francisco to go to school, meet potential mates and often they settled down in the City to enjoy its cosmopolitan lifestyle.
No more.
Editor's note: this letter was sent to Petco headquarters with a copy to the Herald.
It is my understanding that you are closing your store at 4732 California Ave. S.W. (in the West Seattle Junction) because you are losing the parking lot behind your store.
Just across the street behind those stores are several public parking lots with plenty of parking, with access openings between the stores to walk through.

Once again - simplistic political rhetoric.
If it weren't such a serious issue, I would chuckle at the myopic view of Dow Constantine and his chest beating about causing wrap advertising on buses to go away.
I am not a politician. I deal in the for-profit world.
Therefore, I will address points Dow neglected to cover, and refuses to answer to the public.
- The bus wraps brought in nearly $1 Million dollars last year.
- How is this amount of money going to be replaced?
