Menashe Jewelers in the West Seattle Junction was hit by a smash in robbery attempt in the early morning hours of Dec. 24.
They are located at 4532 California Ave SW,
Josh Menashe, partner and son of Jack Menashe said, "We got them on security footage and the police are reviewing it right now. It was a stolen truck and they backed into the front of the store something like 15 times."
It's unclear if anything was actually stolen since they still have have to conduct an inventory now.
"We will battle back," said Josh.
Amazingly enough, the store will be open today, but customers are asked to use the alley door. They close at 4pm.
Information from Seattle Department of Transportation
The Spokane Street Bridge (Low Bridge) remains closed to all travelers as Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) crews continue to work to diagnose and repair mechanical issues which have caused the Spokane Street Bridge to stay in the open position. The bridge failed to close properly after a power outage was resolved and is stuck in an “open” position late this afternoon. Currently, there is no time estimate of when the bridge will re-open. SDOT advises people who drive, walk, bike, and roll on the low bridge to find alternate routes.
UPDATE 2:25pm
King County Metro Transit will be back in service at 4 p.m. on the Emergency Snow Network.
King County Executive Dow Constantine said, "After a historic ice storm, thank you to crews clearing roads and driving buses to get everyone moving again."
