Streets were closed around Capitol Hill this afternoon as the Seattle Police East Precinct held a small memorial for officer Elizabeth Nowak, who was hit in a fatal car accident Monday morning as she drove to work. Roughly 25 officers lined up outside the station and saluted a motorcycle-led procession of cars before heading into a conference room to hear more about Elizabeth, who worked the 3am shift at the precinct.

All in all, a short, chilly service for an unexpected death.
