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.

Moderate rain, with a high of 51 and low of 40 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Patchy rain nearby during the morning, sunny in the afternoon, overcast in the evening, patchy rain nearby overnight.
The cost and disruption to our community for this project is unnecessary to say the least. Not enough community voice on the necessity of the round about was given and the community meeting wasn’t open to anyone opposing the project.
