September 2023

Information from Seattle Police Blotter

#2023-269759/Southwest Precinct/First Watch:

At 4:30am on Sunday, Sept. 17, officers responded to reports of shots fired in the 9000 Block Delridge Way Southwest. The victim was driving his vehicle northbound on Delridge Way Southwest and stopped behind another vehicle at a red light.

Four suspects exited their vehicle and displayed firearms toward the victim.

The victim sped away and one of the suspects fired a shot hitting the vehicle. The victim was not injured during the incident.

Two attempted car jackings that began with staged accidents happened on Tuesday just minutes apart in West Seattle. The same white four door Lexus was reported by victims. The tactic used was the same too. The Lexus struck both victims cars from behind then, when they stopped to look at the damage, they were rushed by the perpetrators guns in hand to take their possessions and steal their cars.

The first was staged at Southwest Spokane Street and Harbor Avenue, the second happened at Harbor Avenue Southwest and California Way Southwest near Seacrest Park.

The two victims were able to drive away, managing to avert being carjacked. Others in the greater Seattle area have not been so aware or fortunate. Multiple reports have come in over the summer of this same tactic resulting the cars being stolen.

Seattle Police suggested ways to stay safe:

 The Seattle City Council on Tuesday vote to adopt a version of Washington State’s laws on public drug use. It adds the crimes of knowing possession of a controlled substance and use of a controlled substance in a public place.

Most communities in the state have conformed to new laws on controlled substances passing into law last May. The state laws make public drug use and possession a gross misdemeanor, allowing city attorneys to prosecute the drug charges. 

Mayor Bruce Harrell released the following statement: 

“Today’s vote by the City Council is a needed step forward in our efforts to address the deadly epidemic of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs. Fentanyl is tragically killing thousands in our city and around the country, and we need urgency and innovative solutions to make change. 

Coming "in the next month or so" to 9004 35th SW is the  BÁNH MI XO Sandwich and Tea Shop. The owner Guy Ngyuen  is excited about bringing the Vietnamese classic sandwich and tea to the Fauntleroy neighborhood. 

He's installed a hood so cooking can be done on site and is now awaiting permits to get open. 

The interior is bright and modern and customers can expect a variety of Banh Mi sandwiches and teas.

This is the former location for Indulge Desserts. It's near the corner of 35th SW and SW Henderson Street.

Holy Rosary West Seattle is once again presenting WestFest their  “Carnival of Community” this weekend  You’ll find rides, kids games, an entertainment stage, specialty food booths, BINGO, a raffle, and much more on the Holy Rosary School grounds.

WestFest is about community. It is an event run purely by parish and school volunteers. It embodies everything that our community is all about. We show our children what can be accomplished by working together. Without the sheer dedication and hard work of parishioners, parents, children, friends and family, there can be no WestFest!
