In a Community Town Hall meeting held via Zoom on Monday night Mayor Jenny Durkan clarified that the options for the West Seattle Bridge are down to two. It will be either the so-called "Rapid Replacement" option brought in by engineering firm HNTB or a continuation of the repair program done thus far. The Immersed Tube Tunnel option was clearly rejected by the Mayor due to cost and technical complexity.

Lonnie Jones, 43, has been charged by the King County Prosecuting Attorney with 2nd degree assault in the Nov. 11 attack on 73 year old Gregorio Tagavilla near High Point. He is being held on $100,000 bail.

The charging documents say: 

"The defendant assaulted a 73-year-old man, without provocation. The defendant knocked the victim unconscious and caused a fracture to the orbital bone. The defendant's behavior in this case coupled with his violent history present a significant danger to the community. The defendant has been convicted of Murder 2nd degree, Robbery 1st degree and Assault 3rd degree-Domestic Violence as an adult. The defendant was sentenced to 300 months for Murder 2nd degree and released around 2014. This case represents a second-strike offense for this defendant. The State believes that bail, set in the amount of $100,000 is appropriate and necessary to protect the safety of the community.
