South Sound News

So, at this time next year. Departments in South King county are going encrypted for "Transparency."

Yet, a county to their south, can function just fine without their "reasons" to the north.

Pierce County's model on using encryption is how it should be done. Yet, in King County, logic cannot prevail........who is shocked? 😜

There is a large police presence in the 16800 block of 116th Ave SE for an officer-involved shooting. Renton police and Valley SWAT were attempting to arrest a shooting suspect when gunfire broke out. The shooting suspect is in custody, and two others are injured. No officers were injured.
Last night's shooting occurred in the 600 block of Queen Ave NE and left an 18-year-old male in critical condition.
The Independent Force Investigative Team - King County will be investigating the officer-involved shooting.

Sometimes, impaired drivers take a shortcut and crash the party—literally. While troopers were investigating a deer vs. car collision, a vehicle barreled through the scene—squeezing between the car and patrol vehicle, narrowly missing the troopers and a family—before launching down an embankment. The driver, who was not injured, was arrested and booked into jail for DUI and Reckless Endangerment. #YourWSP #WSPPOV
