Stabbing in Maple Leaf last night

From the SPD Blotter:

On October 21st at approximately 6:50 p.m. officers responded to the 10400 block of 5th Avenue NE for the report of a male victim lying on the sidewalk with an apparent stab wound to the neck.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the 19-year-old male victim was stabbed while in the underground parking garage of a nearby business and walked out to the sidewalk where he collapsed. The victim was subsequently found by citizen passersby who called 911. SFD Medics transported the victim to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

Officers, including K-9, conducted an extensive area search however, the suspect(s) remain at large. Homicide and CSI detectives responded to the scene and continue to actively investigate.

Anyone with information about this incident or who may know the identity or whereabouts of the suspect(s) is asked to call 911 or Seattle Police immediately.

Casey McNerthney has a post on the incident as well at Seattlepi.com here.

Memorandum

Date: October 15, 2009

To: Persons on the mailing list compiled at the Hearing Examiner hearing

From: Michael Jenkins, Legislative Analyst, Council Central Staff

Subject: Notice Regarding Council Bill 116676, concerning the proposed rezone of property located at 12318 – 15th Ave NE from Single Family 7200 (SF 7200) to Neighborhood Commercial 3 with a 40 foot height limit (NC3-40), and accepting a Property Use and Development Agreement in connection therewith. (Project number 3008423, Clerk File 309623)

Clerk File 309623: Application of Craig Thompson and Safeway, Inc. for a contract rezone of approximately 24,300 square feet of land at 12318 – 15th Ave NE, from Single Family 7200 (SF 7200) to Neighborhood Commercial 3 with a 40 foot height limit (NC3-40) (DPD Project No. 3008423, Type IV)
______________________________________________________________________________
The matter is scheduled for a vote before the City Council on October 26, 2009. The meeting will commence at 2:00 p.m. and will be held in City Council chambers, 600 – 4th Avenue, 2nd Floor, in downtown Seattle.

At that meeting, the Council will vote whether to approve, approve with conditions or deny the ordinance that will change the zone of the property from SF 7200 to NC3-40. The Planning Land Use and Neighborhood Committee first considered this matter at their September 9, 2009 meeting before forwarding their recommendation on to the Council to approve the rezone.

As no timely requests were filed to supplement the record or appeal the Hearing Examiner recommendation, no such requests will be considered. No testimony will be permitted, as the Council’s review is based solely on the record forwarded by the Hearing Examiner.

If you have any questions, please call me at 615-1674 or contact me by email at michael.jenkins@seattle.gov.

Pinehurst Community Council candidate for Vice President statement

We have one candidate for Pinehurst Community Council Vice President:

Candidate for Vice President
Eric Youngblut

My wife Carla and I moved to Pinehurst 8 years ago. We both have BSes in Computer Science from UW; I work as a software developer, and Carla stays home with our three daughters.

I’m passionate about land use and transportation policy. I see transportation from all angles, as a bicyclist, bus rider, pedestrian, and motorist. I’m thrilled to see progress in our neighborhood, such as the pedestrian signal at 15th and 120th and the sidewalk on 125th!

Three years ago I organized a Night Out party for my block, the first ever, at least that anyone could remember. This small event where neighbors met, shared a meal, and discussed their community provided me with inspiration to increase my involvement in the neighborhood. I thank you all for your involvement in Pinehurst, and I would be honored to serve as Pinehurst Community Council Vice President

Our next meeting and election will be held Monday, October 26th at Amante Pizza at 7 PM. Read more about the meeting here.
