Update 7/8/25

The family of the 17 year old girl stabbed in the Delridge neighborhood has reached out on social media seeking support. The girl's mother, Hillary Walker posted the following:

Our family is going through an incredibly difficult time after the violent attack on my 17-year-old daughter in West Seattle on July 5, 2025. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has reached out; your support means the world to us.

My daughter is stable and receiving care. She has a long recovery ahead, including ongoing medical treatment and trauma support, but we remain hopeful and focused on her healing.

My dad, whose home was the scene of the attack, is also recovering from the emotional impact. He has lived there for over 30 years, and this event has been devastating for him.

We want to thank the first responders and law enforcement for their quick action, and the investigators who are working hard to ensure justice is served and our community remains safe.

Many of you have asked how you can help and we can now share that we’ve set up a GoFundMe to assist my dad in repairing the major damage sustained in his home and to support my daughter’s medical recovery. If you’re able to donate or share, it would mean so much to our family.

Thank you for standing with us."

Information from Seattle Police Blotter

Seattle police detectives are investigating the violent stabbing of a 17-year-old girl in the Delridge neighborhood in West Seattle this morning.

At about 12:20 a.m., patrol officers responded to reports of a burglary and assault in the 7100 block of 17th Avenue Southwest. When police arrived, they found blood on the door and made immediate entry into the house believing the suspects were still inside.

Inside, they found the victim with multiple stab wounds all over her body and she had significant blood loss. Officers pulled her to safety, and the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) provided her with medical treatment. SFD transported her to Harborview Medical Center in serious, but stable condition.

Patrol officers set up a security perimeter around the house until the Hostage Negotiation Team and the SWAT team arrived on scene. Officers applied for a search warrant, and it was signed by a judge. Ultimately, SWAT searched the house, but they did not find the suspects.

While investigating, officers learned the teen suspects, a boy and girl, ran from the house before officers arrived. The circumstances leading up to the violent assault are under investigation. If anyone has information, they are asked to the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Detectives in the Homicide and Assault Unit are assigned to this case.
