An incredible day at the LFP PD Safety Day at Town Center

At the start of a race

What an incredible day at Lake Forest Park Police Department Safety Day event on Saturday July 11, 2026 at LFP Town Center!

Thanks to everyone who joined us, it was a tremendous success, with hundreds of smiling kids and parents coming together for a fun, interactive day focused on safety and community.

Checking out the public works vehicle

The kids had an amazing time racing through the bicycle and tricycle course, sharpening their soccer skills at the inflatable target, exploring our patrol vehicles and fire department apparatus, and climbing aboard Public Works tractors and backhoes.

There was truly something for everyone to enjoy.

Helmets were funded by LFP Rotary

A special thank you goes to the Lake Forest Park Rotary for their generous support.

LFP Rotary members pose with Mayor Tom French on the low-rider

Their contribution allowed us to provide hundreds of bicycle helmets and water safety vests to local families, helping keep our community's children safer both on land and in the water.

Mayor Tom French leading the way

A big thank you goes also to the city employees who assisted us in making this event a success.

Our officers had a great time meeting and interacting with everyone who attended. Events like these are a great reminder of the strong partnerships that make Lake Forest Park such a wonderful community.

An early start at the soccer target

Finally, a well-deserved recognition goes to Traffic Support Officer Amanda Johnson, whose leadership, dedication, and countless hours of planning made this event possible.

Outstanding job, Amanda, and thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Safety Day such a memorable success!

Evening/nighttime lane closures on SR 522 in Bothell

Starting July 20, 2026 construction crews will close lanes on SR 522 (Bothell Way NE) between 96th Avenue NE and 98th Avenue NE for night work (see map). Crews will work from 6pm to 6am, Monday through Friday. This closure is in addition to the daytime lane closures in the same area. Nighttime work will last through September 2026.

Traffic patterns will change during construction. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians should follow posted signs and plan extra travel time.

During construction, these lane closures will mean:

Left turns in and out of businesses and residences on SR-522 will be restricted at times.
Left turns from Hall Road onto SR-522 will be restricted at times.

Nighttime construction will focus on utility investigations, new waterline installation, roadway patching, and steel plate installation. Crews will monitor noise levels.

During construction, SR 522 will stay open to traffic. All businesses will remain open and accessible. To help keep traffic flowing, an optional detour will be in place during work hours. This detour will send drivers around the work area via 91st Avenue NE and 180th Street. See the detour map.

This road work will ensure the Stride S3 buses can move through the route more quickly, allowing Sound Transit to deliver fast, frequent, and reliable bus rapid transit service along S3. For more information on Stride S3 bus service, visit the Stride webpage.

Robbery suspects arrested in Kirkland after high-speed pursuit from Northgate through Lake Forest Park and Kenmore

by Seattle Detective Brian Pritchard

A Seattle police pursuit ended in Kirkland Saturday night after officers arrested three robbery suspects and recovered a firearm that was thrown from the vehicle.

On July 11 at 8:36 p.m., a 27-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint and assaulted in North Seattle. When officers arrived and contacted the victim, the man said he and his family were walking home after leaving a restaurant at Northgate Mall when a green Kia nearly hit them around Northeast 103rd Street and 5th Avenue Northeast.

The victim said the Kia, occupied by four people, began following them home. One passenger exited the vehicle and chased the victim on foot. The Kia made a U-turn and caught up to the victim, and he exchanged words with the driver. One of the suspects pointed a gun at the victim, threatening him and stealing his sunglasses. Another passenger got out and punched the victim before the group drove south on 5th Avenue Northeast.

Police soon located the green Kia in the 10800 block of Roosevelt Way Northeast. The vehicle matched the victim’s description, and four people were standing outside. Seeing officers, the group got back into the Kia and drove east on Northeast Northgate Way. Officers attempted a traffic stop by activating their emergency lights. The driver sped away at a high rate of speed. The vehicle reached speed between 80 to 90 miles per hour.

Officers pursued the vehicle through several jurisdictions, including Lake Forest Park and Kenmore, as it drove around Lake Washington before it stopped in the 9700 block of Northeast Juanita Drive in Kirkland, Washington.

Police arrested three men, ages 18, 19, and 24, along with an 18-year-old woman. During the pursuit someone inside the Kia threw a 10mm firearm from the vehicle. Officers later recovered the gun. Also, during the initial search 10mm bullets were found on one of the suspects.

The three men were booked into King County Jail for investigation of robbery, eluding, and unlawful possession of a firearm. Officers identified the woman and released her.

Robbery Unit detectives are investigating. Anyone with information is asked to call the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.

Sunday Sign-waving at Shoreline-Edmonds line

"Hey ICE agents: If you job requires you to hide your face behind a mask,
YOU are likely the CRIMINAL!!!:

Americans deserves president who puts country, them first

The president encouraging deadly tactics by ICE agents, an embarrassing performance at the NATO summit, chaotic war with Iran, and continued reports of self-enrichment at taxpayer expense brought out 55 area residents to protest this past Sunday.

"It is up to ALL of us to fix this.. Every ordinary citizen needs to say
'NO! This is not right!' Join us!"

Some may think that a "small" crowd, but it is a powerful reminder week in and week out that bad behavior, unconstitutional and anti-democratic behavior, and behavior that harms the American people will not - and should not - go unremarked.

The beauty of "Social Justice Sundays" sign-waving is that it reminds passers-by of what is at stake, and it reminds those who attend they are not alone in wanting better for their friends, family, neighbors and country.

"No more Grift - Kidnap - Extortion"

Sign-waving is scheduled for every Sunday in July (7/19 and 7/26 remaining), 1-2pm at the intersection of Aurora Avenue North and N 205th St, at the Shoreline-Edmonds line.

"Tax the Rich"
"When tyranny becomes law - REBELLION becomes duty"
"Resist much - obey little - Stand up Speak out - Save Democracy"

Organized by local group Everyday Activists (@everydayshoreline.bsky.social), non-perishable food and toiletry donations will also be accepted for donation to a local charitable organization.

JUSTICE
or
Just ICE
Choose ONE

Bring a sign or just yourself and stand up for acting honorably and treating people humanely.

Volunteer to serve on the pro or con committees on the 6 year Public Safety Lid Lift in LFP - deadline to apply July 16, 2026

The City of Lake Forest Park invites residents to serve on the “Pro” and “Con” committees that will write the official statements in favor of and against a proposed six-year Public Safety Levy Lid Lift.

The City Council approved placing a six year levy lid lift proposition on the November 3, 2026, general-election ballot. For the proposal, please refer to the Resolution 26-2084.

Under RCW 29A.32.280, each committee may have up to three voting members and any number of non-voting advisors; all members must be registered voters living in Lake Forest Park.

If appointed, members will collaborate to draft a 200-word statement supporting or opposing the levy and may later prepare a 75-word rebuttal after reviewing the opposing side’s submission. King County Elections deadlines require the final statements to be submitted no later than August 14, 2026.

Residents interested in participating should email City Clerk Matt McLean at mmclean@cityoflfp.gov by 5:00pm on Thursday, July 16, 2026.

Please include your name, residential address, phone number, and indicate whether you want to serve on the Pro or Con committee. The City Council will appoint committee members at its meeting on Thursday, July 23, 2026, and their names will be sent to King County Elections by August 4, 2026.

For additional information, contact Matt McLean at mmclean@cityoflfp.gov or 206-368-5440. Thank you for helping provide Lake Forest Park voters with balanced and informative perspectives on this important public-safety measure.
