Information from the Seattle Police Blotter

A 14-year-old boy sustained a head injury after he collided with a car while he was riding a sled down a hill in West Seattle yesterday.  The 20-year-old driver of the car was later arrested and booked into jail for DUI.

On Monday, at approximately 1:00 pm, a Ford Focus was travelling southbound on 35th Avenue SW approaching SW 110th Street when the 14-year-old on the sled entered the intersection.  The 20-year-old male driver of the Focus attempted to brake, but the vehicle continued to slide on the icy road and the Focus and sled collided, causing the injury.

The driver called 911 reporting the collision.  Officers arrived, along with the Fire Department.  The driver was evaluated at the scene and was later arrested for suspicion of DUI (marijuana).  The 14-year-old was transported to HMC where he is recovering.

Monday afternoon at 4:15 PM King County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a domestic violence disturbance near the 10400 BLK 16 AVE SW, in White Center.  The suspect, a 29 year old male, had vandalized a car and then ran into the Subway restaurant that was nearby.  When Deputies arrived on scene the victim directed them to the Subway. 

If you had planned on hitting a white golf ball around on green grass, that's not going to happen today in Seattle.

A snow storm that was largely underestimated in terms of it's strength blanketed the Seattle area late Sunday and through the morning hours of Monday February 4, knocking out power for people in Burien, Normandy Park and parts of North Highline and parts of White Center and Highland Park. 

The outage went down Maplewild Drive around Three Tree Point and up along Ambaum to around 140th SW. The second outage area began at SW 130th and extended over to HWY 509 north to SW 100th. The expected restoration time was approximately 12 Noon.

Quick question: What's the difference between Seattle and Portland? One of the biggest contrasts between the two cities is that Seattle has distinct neighborhoods whereas Portland is more homogeneous -- one quadrant pretty much resembles another.

Not so in the Emerald City. Official records list 127 individual Seattle neighborhoods, although their boundaries are fluid and districts within a larger neighborhood like Ballard blend into one another and overlap. Still they are iconic: you wouldn't mistake Seward Park for Greenwood or Sunset Hill for Columbia City.

Everyone is invited to a screening of new work by students in the Ballard High School Digital Filmmaking Program.  The Ballard Film Festival (BFF) will be on Saturday, February 9 at 7 pm in the Ballard High School auditorium.  The screening will feature short comedies and dramas as well as music videos.  Tickets ($10 for adults and $5 for students) will be sold at the door.
