Did you hear anything about the death outside of Ivars on NE Northlake around 4 pm? There were four police cars, yellow taped off area with street blocked off and a covered body.
We scanned the Seattle 911 data from yesterday and found an incident that required Engine 17 to be dispatched at 1:19pm to 5th Ave NE at NE Northlake; but so far, we haven’t heard anything else.
Anyone else have information regarding yesterday’s incident in front of Ivar’s?
A beautiful short-haired white (very clean) cat just appeared on our back porch. NO collar so must be an indoor kitty tasting “freedom”, but he wants to come inside now! We’re in the upper end of the 4700 block of Latona NE; our back faces Thackeray. Please respond ASAP. If he hangs around we’ll go on a neighborhood quest to findhis home since he can’t “phone home!” We already have two cats who are showing jealousy already!
I have no idea, but there was definitely a heavy police presence through Ballard, Fremont and Wallingford last night, between 5-5:30PM.
Someone jumped.
From the I-5 bridge? Wow. Then the cops I saw were definitely unrelated…
I was the car behind the guy who hit the lady that jumped on the 26th. It will not leave my mind, I can’t find any infromation about this. I work in the area and was just heading home when this happened. I think I need to know something so I can maybe sleep with out this replaying in my head when I least expect it? Anyone have any more information about the person who left their car on I5 and laned on the car in front of me. Right by Ivars on NE Northlake way??
Thank you!
Sorry
I know the person that jumped on 10/26 and am looking for more information on what the scene was like.
The scene…. Was busy. I didn’t even realize what happened at first, I saw out of the corner of my eye something that looked like paper falling. Then the car in front of me seemed like it hit a brick wall. The car lurched and stopped so quickly. My co-worker and carpool driver of course stopped suddenly. I jumped out of the car and ran to this person, and still I had not even begun to realize what had actually ocurred. It was only when I looked back to see the man who was driving the car in front of me try to stand up once he was out of his car. His face lost all color and he dropped down beside his car in a sort of slow motion movement. And started to vomitt. I was still thinking this person needed help and then I hear my co-worker for the first time in what seemed like hours, yelling my name and I for the first time actually seen the person and this is the vision that will haunt me for the rest of my life. After realizing that this person jumped , I look up and there are people looking down and then a single cop car shows up and our car was what was blocking all the jerks from driving through the scene. We had 2 move our car for the police car who asked us to turn around and leave, and to this day I dont understand why they didnt want our statement or anything. We of course had to collect our selves for the long drive homeward. There were so many cars honking and trying to go around and I cannot believe how surprised I still get when people show no common courtesy, or respect for their fellow man. There were more police up on I5 then below. They had the left lane blocked and there was a car with the driver door open and still running, the had it blocked off. And that night I watched the news looked online and then the next day and the next day…. And no mention no anything. It was all sort of like it didnt happen. But the guy in front of us and my co worker will never forget that day! I am sad the attitude is that this happens so often it doesnt matter and sort of hushed and that people really do not care and no longer sensitive to what is happening around them.
Vikki,
