UPDATE 3: A HUGE thank you to the Seattle Police Department and Seattle Fire Department over the last week or more. It’s spells like this that remind you just how important these basic institutions are for communities like ours. (This is not intended to be a political statement.)
UPDATE 2: As promised, here’s the Seattle Police’s Blotter post on the success, or lack thereof, of the most recent Key Bank bank robber. Also, here’s the story from the Ravenna Blog.
UPDATE 1: The Police have one person in custody according to their more recent tweet. We’ll add a link to their Blotter post, which we presume will be forthcoming later this afternoon with more details.
Officers have one person in custody near 9th Avenue NE and NE 42nd St in connection w/ Wedgwood bank robbery. More to come.
