A curious scene witnessed and reported by Last Days' Hot Tipper Celeste:

[On Monday] I witnessed a couple of alarming and unrelated incidents at Seattle Police Headquarters on 5th Avenue. Upon exiting the building, I observed a young mother storming out of the building by using her child's stroller to force open the two sets of heavy security doors leading out to 5th Ave. Maybe she didn't feel comfortable using the ADA door opener and perhaps she figured the doors would swing easily and smoothly so she could exit with her two terrified looking kids. Instead, her stroller—not so comfortably carrying a very small infant—served as an impromptu ram-rod. She banged the stroller into the doors repeatedly, forcing the baby to bounce around in the minimally cushioned stroller. It wasn't fun, Johnny-Jump-Up style bouncing, it was horrible, shaking-is-bad-for-babies style bouncing. This continued for an awkwardly long period of time as I tried to get in front of her to open the doors for her. During this awkwardly long period of time, a Seattle police officer was sitting at the "front desk" watching it all happen.

Once I got outside, I stood still for a second to try to gather my faculties so I could remember where I had parked. At that moment, I looked up to see a young man smoking a blunt right outside the doors I had just exited. While I would have thought smoking pot outside of police Headquarters was a righteous and awesomely rebellious endeavor before the day started, at that moment I concluded that the best place to abuse your kids and to partake in illegal substances was right there in front of Seattle Police Headquarters.
