posted by February 5 at 16:42 PM
onSeattle Police have cordoned off the blocks surrounding the Temple De Hirsch Sinai on Capitol Hill at 1520 Union Ave E. Seattle Police say a woman was on the roof of the building, refusing to come down.
Developing…
UPDATE 1: Amy Kate Horn is on the scene. According to someone at the Temple, a woman fell down the building’s chimney and is stuck.
Update 2: Amy Kate was told that a woman was on the roof with a knife, trying to get into the building, and she either fell or jumped into the chimney. Now she’s stuck halfway between the chimney and the boiler. Police are in contact with her.
Update 3: Firefighters used sledgehammers and got the woman out of the chimney. She’s now being loaded into an ambulance.
SPD is about to brief the press.
Update 4: SPD spokesman Mark Jamieson says at 3pm, police got a call there was a woman on the roof. They attempted to contact her, and she refused to come down. Officers surrounded the building and the woman climbed down the building’s chimney. As she was climbing down, she got stuck.
The Seattle Fire Department’s Heavy Rescue Team came and got the woman out. She does not appear to be injured.
SPD does not know what the woman was doing on the roof, and cannot confirm that she had a weapon. They’re taking the woman to the hospital, and aren’t sure if she’ll be charged with anything.

'zat why so many helicopters?
Are many plenty!
Burglar? Seriously confused Santa?
was lookin' for cheezeburger!
Thank you for posting this, no one else has anything yet. This is literally right outside my house. I could see the action from my building downtown and was wondering what the hell was going on.

ECB? No!
Eek ... I hope the boiler is turned off.
Me too- I always look to the slog for C.D. news- no one else seems to care.
Thank you!
Would have been nicer if there was a "buckit" involved, though.
Santa?
I thought we called that the central district.
@11: Santa is not Jewish.
Cue tasteless joke about "ovens and chimneys" in about 3...2...1...
A Jew caught in a Chimney? Say it ain't so!!
This time, she was going DOWN the chimney.
2 minute spread.
nice work, guys!
That is the CD, not Capitol Hill but if you write for slog you 1) never leave capitol hill and 2) are not from seattle anyway, so you don't know the area.
@15: Don't blame me, Max. I want to rip his face off for shit like that.
Why would a Jew want to get into a boiler?
She saw that Sarah Silverman music video "Give the Jew Girl Toys" and got a little mixed up, is all.
How do you know she's Jewish?
That is so not the CD. If that's the CD, then Chop Suey is in the CD, Piecoras is in the CD, Thumpers was in the CD and the Cadillac is in the CD.
Do you people not live here?
Consider the line the top of the hill. The TT Minor playfield is the DMZ.
15th and Union is not Capitol Hill. Between 23rd and I-5, once you're south of Madison, you're definitely either in the CD or First Hill, given that First Hill begins south of Pike on Broadway.
I bet a Catholic girl would have gone down without any problems.
I live in Squire Park, thank you. Which is part of the CD.

Sorry folks, Capitol Hill ends at Madison. Temple de Hirsch is NOT on Capitol Hill.
Oh, stfu @21!
Chop Suey is in the CD - correct
Piecoras is in the CD - correct
Thumpers was in the CD - ya got us there!
and the Cadillac is in the CD - correct
See: The City Clerk's Office neighborhood map
Do you people not live here? - Yes, and you should learn more about where you live.
So THAT'S what that police officer chewed us out about...aha. Well, sorry I asked, ya d*****bag. How stupid d'ya have to be to get stuck in a chimney?
That's funny,
She doesn't look fluish.
@26,
hey thanks for being a jackass.
it's central area, not the CD.
Just call it what the residents do: Jigaboo Town...
Aright, jerkoff, get yer trolling ass off Slog before Amy Kate tells your employer.
Greg,
If you haven't noticed. The troll you're referring too has gotten particularly nasty as of late. He hasn't been getting the kind of attention he wants for it, so let's not give him any more now.
Please stop making jokes. This person happens to be a friend of one of my friends. Sometimes, people have breakdowns because of the stresses in their lives can we please be humane about it? Thank you
#5 for the win!
She is friend of mine as well rob35. It's so easy for people to forget that news stories involve real people who are dear to the hearts of so many...
