Witnesses called 911 around 9:30 Thursday night to report a man with a rifle and machete outside an apartment building in the 7500 block of 24th Avenue Southwest.
Officers quickly converged on the address and found a man standing in the stairwell of the building still holding the rifle and machete. SWAT team members as well as hostage negotiators responded to the scene and were able to start a dialogue with the 33-year-old man. After an hour of talking with the suspect, officers were able to convince the man to come down from the stairwell. SWAT officers took the suspect into custody and discovered the rifle was a BB-gun.
Officers booked the suspect into King County Jail for investigation of Harassment and Investigation of Assault.

This past Thursday, the West Seattle Transportation Coalition (WSTC) held its monthly meeting at Neighborhood House.
ST3 alternatives
The meeting included a presentation from the West Seattle Sound Transit 3 Plan Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG). From now until spring 2019, the advisory group is set to explore alternatives for station locations, water crossings and track locations, as well as solicit community input.
The alternatives discussed involved the proposal to extend the line through Pigeon Point via tunnel, across the Delridge valley on the piers, and then enter another tunnel to proceed to the Junction station. An additional alternative described the line following an elevated route through Delridge, and then entering a tunnel on the other side of Delridge valley, on the way to an underground Junction station.
