June 2021

 information from the City of Seattle

To encourage residents and businesses to use Seattle’s streets this summer, Mayor Jenny A. Durkan and the Seattle Department of Transportation shared information about existing and upcoming free Street Use permits starting in June. With current and upcoming free permitting options, residents can make space in their neighborhoods for play and communal activities such as barbecues and block parties. And the recent extension of the Safe Street permits offers restaurants, retail stores, and others a terrific opportunity to increase their capacity by using the curb space or sidewalk during the warm summer months.  

Jennifer Vong was headed eastbound on Roxbury Street SW on May 31 at about 6:30pm. She normally has a dashcam running in her car capturing video both coming and going. 

This time it was truly frightening.

Traveling in the inside lane, see saw a white sports car veer out of the westbound traffic, cross in the far westbound lane, then swerve to avoid what could have been a head on collision with her car. Instead the white car with a male driver a passenger delivered a heavy, glancing blow damaging both vehicles.

She posted the results on Facebook. 

From the style of the vehicle it appears to be a Nissan 350Z, white with a convertible top. It has damage now to the right front of the car.

Vong filed a police report and is seeking leads. If you recognize the driver or vehicle you are urged to call 911.
