On Wednesday, Jul 30, 2025, @ approximately 8 AM, Northshore Fire and LFP Police responded to a multi-car collision at the 18000 block of Ballinger Way NE. A total of four license plates were "run" by police, which indicates four vehicles were involved.

No apparent damage was noted on any of the involved vehicles, and no Medic unit was on scene (usually indicating more serious injuries than what is referred to as BLS or a basic life support aid unit), although EMS was evaluating the driver of the grey Prius at the scene.

One of the involved vehicles was a King County Department of Solid Waste Division vehicle. We've reached out to LFP PD to see if any of the drivers were cited (which is usually automatic when you rear-end someone) and whether there are any plans to increase police presence on Ballinger Way.

Sunny, with a high of 60 and low of 44 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear during the afternoon and evening, patchy rain nearby overnight.
Chris - You claim to have tried to reach the Planning Commission vice-Chair and got no response. I have no record of you attempting to contact me. No emails, not even in my Junk folder, no voice mails. Nothing. I am a volunteer. Show some class, correct your statement, or send proof.
Ashton McCartney broke public trust by promising NOT to run to retain the council seat, then waging a write-in campaign to do just that. McCartney does not deserve our trust again.
