Police Actions

This morning we had an early appointment at in Renton.  When we were leaving, we noticed a police action up the street.  Then we noticed that there was a big police action happening.  There were four cars in the middle of the road.

Police were everywhere.

This is a really terrible picture taken out of the back window.  There were three more cars in our doctor's office parking lot.  It's good that we did not have to go there this morning.

This is what happened this morning, as reported by KOMO.

A suspect on the run from police intentionally backed into a state trooper's car with his vehicle before fleeing on foot Wednesday morning near Valley Medical Center in Renton, the Washington State Patrol reports.

The trooper did not pursue the SUV, but saw it take the exit at 180th Street then turn right into a gravel parking lot. The trooper followed the SUV into the lot, but the suspect then backed into the trooper's cruiser and sped off, running over a curb and sidewalk in the process.

Police later found the SUV abandoned in another parking lot in the 17900 block of Talbot Road South. The vehicle was impounded and police began searching the area for the suspect.

The suspect was on foot, there were police everywhere looking for him.  It was just weird seeing that many police driving around at high speed.  They created a massive amount of traffic jams.  We were pretty happy to depart the area.

This is I405N.  Nothing is moving.  This place is just an ant hill.

So that was this morning in the GPNW.
