The Washington State Patrol reports the reopening of SR 167 in Renton following a fatal crash. Lawmakers propose legislation to crack down on those evading police. Other news includes a federal judge's decision regarding a wrongful death lawsuit, school funding rallies, an upcoming MoPOP exhibition, and efforts to combat food insecurity and promote environmental sustainability.
The Washington State Patrol (WSP) reports that SR 167 in Renton has reopened following a fatal crash early Tuesday morning. The accident occurred around 2:30 am. WSP stated that a driver was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes and collided with a semi-truck. UPDATE (7:45 AM): While southbound lanes of SR 167 south of I-405 in Renton have reopened, northbound lanes remain fully closed. Crews are diligently working to clear the scene and restore full access.
Motorists are advised to continue utilizing alternate routes and anticipate delays. Congestion is also observed on other routes, urging commuters to allow ample travel time. All northbound lanes of SR 167 at 180th Street (just south of the 405 interchange) are blocked. There is no estimated time for reopening, and the Washington State Patrol recommends drivers seek alternative routes. In other news, some state lawmakers, including a former police officer, aim to strengthen measures against individuals attempting to evade police. A federal judge has declined to dismiss a civil rights and wrongful death lawsuit filed by the mother of a 22-year-old Puyallup man who was fatally shot by a Pierce County deputy during a traffic stop in 2022. Meanwhile, in Olympia, hundreds of parents, teachers, and students gathered outside the state capitol, making their voices heard in the ongoing fight for increased school funding. The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle delves into the realm of folklore and fantasy with its upcoming exhibition, “Asian Comics: Evolution of an Art Form.” Collaborating with the renowned Barbican Centre in London, the limited-time exhibition explores the rich and diverse world of Asian visual storytelling, paying tribute to its historical significance. Making the decision regarding senior living can be a complex process, but a senior living community can offer a positive step towards ensuring safety, health, and happiness. On a different note, Safeway and Albertsons' Nourishing Neighbors program is actively addressing food insecurity within communities. Homeowners are encouraged to take proactive measures to prevent water damage, one of the most prevalent and costly claims faced, representing nearly a quarter of all homeowners insurance claims. Lastly, the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust is hosting a tree-planting fundraiser, contributing to a sustainable future for local communities, wildlife, and the planet
