Crime More Police Action: Capitol Hill Edition

Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 5:32 PM

Seattle Police and K-9 units are tracking two men who robbed a store on Pike Street moments ago.

The men walked into the store wearing white ski masks and pulled a gun on the clerk.

In other news, a group of teens also exchanged gunfire in the parking lot of the Washington Mutual on 23rd and Jackson at around 5pm. It appears no one was injured.

Seriously, is it a full fucking moon or something?

Seriously.

It was the Mud Bay on E Pine that was robbed.

Something's also up at 7th and Seneca

I was just about to email you guys and see if you knew what that helicopter hovering around capitol hill was all about... Sounds like we've got an answer.

And who would rob a pet store? Boo.

you don't need a full moon for crazy shit to happen.

I still don't see a word on seattletimes.com about this, they need to keep up with the internets.

With people's jobs and houses circling in the bowl of our economic shitter, expect things to only get worse from here.

Oh - and good work SLOG for keeping us up to date on the shit.

Posted by Todd on February 4, 2009 at 5:47 PM

Seriously, y'all. It sounds like you're living in the Baltimore of the West!

Posted by Balt-O-Matt on February 4, 2009 at 5:55 PM

Gunshots somewhere south of union near 25th just now. Like living in San Antonio again!

And my corporate overlords wanted to move to Seattle because it's "safer" than Renton.

Yeah, it was just a nice day in the neighborhood as I cruised from my Kent East Hill apartment to Covington for the unlimited bowl at the Iron Wok mongolian place.

If you fools want to live in a dying urb and pay cutthroat prices, don't whine on the Internet about it.

The Washington Mutual on 5th Ave. downtown was cordoned off around 5:30 with a ton o' cops inside and outside. Bank robbery?

Posted by earwig on February 4, 2009 at 8:13 PM

@14: Sorry, are we taking up your space?

Good luck shitting water tonight.

Posted by I know my neighbors. on February 4, 2009 at 8:14 PM

what the shit who would rob Mud Bay?

Posted by chrisfurniss on February 4, 2009 at 8:57 PM

@14

I'd make sure my door was locked tonight if I were you:

@18, Yeah I thought @14's post was the height of ironic in light of the double homicide discovered in Kent today.

Posted by PopTart on February 4, 2009 at 9:22 PM

Shoot-outs and robberies in Seattle, nobody dies.

Double shooting in Kent, 100% frag rate.

Oh yeah, those suburbs sound fucking awesome!

Posted by AJ on February 4, 2009 at 9:34 PM

@14 - John Bailo, is that you?!

Posted by Dreck Owens on February 4, 2009 at 10:25 PM

What is up?!

I asked about the car thief hit on I-5 at the convention center at 1 p.m. because I'd gotten into a wrangle with a homeless guy amongst our garbage cans near there at 11 a.m., wondered if it was the same guy. But clearly there was a wave today.

No one has jobs. Not enough had food. People stop following the rules when they have an excess of free time and not enough calories. I think Golob talked about it earlier today.

Annie get your gun.

I was probably less than four minutes away from being right in front of mud bay when this all went down. I was on Pike and Minor around that time, and two patrol cars were speeding down Pike, along with the helicopter above.

It's only a half moon right now

Posted by amateur astronomer on February 5, 2009 at 8:35 AM

@25: boy, you are amateur. It's called a third quarter moon.

Posted by EmilyP on February 5, 2009 at 8:41 AM

I'm kind of glad I moved out to Duvall a couple months ago. There's nothing but a field and some horses outside my front door these days... And they only come afer me with guns when I'm late for their morning feeding.

Kent East Hill? Is that somewhere near Yakima?
