Information from Loop the Lupe
Loop the ‘Lupe, the only obstacle course race in Seattle city limits, is back on June 8th in West Seattle! “This year, we have a terrific deal for families and teams,” says race organizer Brian Callanan. “When people sign up four or more people at a time, there’s an automatic discount. That discount increases even more when you register 10+ people, so bring everyone and anyone!”
The last day for the beloved Full Tilt Ice Cream in White Center is May 26. But for the family of Justin Cline whose untimely passing came as a shock to the community and thousands of people who knew or met him, the need for support continues.
There are no firm plans for the last day, and Justin's wife Ann Magyar would prefer it be a lower key event. Shop employees say that a deal for Rat City Tattoo to move into the space is in the works and that the wall mural will stay.

Officers arrived and located a female victim who had been shot twice in the legs. Officers provided medical aid until the Seattle Fire Department arrived and transported her to HMC in stable condition.

Information from Seattle Police Department
Seattle Police arrested a 30-year-old man after he was found in a stolen car, tried to speed away from officers and hit several occupied tents hurting two people on May 5.
Police were near Sixth Avenue South and South Snoqualmie Street at about 5:40 a.m., when they saw the stolen vehicle with the suspect in the driver’s seat sleeping. Terminator devices were deployed and as officers tried to conduct a traffic stop, the suspect tried to get away causing three of the tires to flatten.
The suspect drove onto a grassy area hitting some occupied tents and two people who were lying inside. Other people jumped out of the way to avoid getting hurt.
The 30-year-old driver continued to speed away from police until the stolen vehicle would no longer drive. Then, the suspect tried to hide in a dumpster, covering himself with drywall. A K-9 track led officers directly to the suspect.
He was arrested.
