The Seattle Police Department has published a video about the high speed pursuit and arrest of a drive by shooting suspect that took place last fall.

On November 22nd, 2023, Seattle Police with the assistance of King County Sheriff’s Office air support pursued and apprehended a drive-by shooting suspect.

Shortly after 2:00 p.m., near the intersection of 4th Avenue South and South Lucille Street, police located a vehicle suspected to be involved in a drive-by shooting. The vehicle was reported stolen and was also associated with a reported burglary. When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, it took off at a high rate of speed.

Officers pursued the vehicle and eventually stopped the pursuit using a PIT maneuver in the 900 block of Airport Way South. The male suspect was taken into custody and a female passenger was identified and released. No injuries were reported.

King County has filed a land use application to build a 1.25-million-gallon underground storage facility near the intersection of SW Michigan St and 2nd Ave SW to hold stormwater and wastewater that currently overflows into the Duwamish River during large storms.

The water in the storage facility will then flow to the West Point Treatment Plant for treatment before it is safely released into Puget Sound. This storage facility will reduce overflows and pollution into the Duwamish River. The County will also build supporting infrastructure underneath West Marginal Way SW.

The project has recently reached the 60 per cent design milestone. At 60 per cent design, the project details are determined including equipment, architecture, landscaping, and contractor documents (design drawings and specifications). The project team is now focused on finalizing design details and preparing for construction, which will begin in 2025.
