Vehicle goes off road on Perkins Way, crashes and burns in McAleer creek

Friday, July 26, 2013

Early Friday morning a 2008 Volkswagen Beetle carrying three individuals careened off a residential street in Lake Forest Park at high speed and was engulfed in flames in McAleer Creek.

Chief Steve Sutton said Lake Forest Park Police were called to the 18100 block of NE Perkins Way just after 4am on Friday. He said initial estimates of the speed were over 60 mph in a posted 25 mph zone.

Responding officers found three people who had managed to escape the vehicle after it came to rest on its wheels in the creek and almost immediately caught on fire.

When the Lake Forest Park Police department arrived, all three occupants were walking away from the vehicle. By then, the vehicle was fully engulfed by fire and the Northshore Fire Department was notified.

The responding officers remained in the location as the vehicle burned ferociously. At one point, there was nearly 80 feet of flame extending down the creek away from the vehicle, likely gasoline on the surface of the creek. Within minutes, the gas tank ruptured and the fire grew stronger. Tires also began to burn and pop. 

Fire Department crews arrived promptly, and put out the fire, Sutton said. The Public Works Crew were also notified and responded immediately by deploying as series of downstream oil/chemical absorbent booms and erosion control measures while also performing a downstream search for signs of stream contamination. The vehicle also damaged the stream banks in two places as it left the roadway.

A search downstream from the vehicle did not reveal additional contamination, said Public Works Superintendent, Scott Walker. Public Works removed all of the contaminated sediment in the area of the fire and swept the street to collected debris related to the accident and response.

Contamination of the creek was contained as much as possible, Walker said. But it is likely that petroleum, fire byproducts, fire response chemicals and other engine fluids contaminated the stream flow.

The City has reported this release of chemicals to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and Washington Department of Ecology.

More information about the boat capsizing at Saltwater Park

Monday, July 1, 2013

By Diane Hettrick

The sirens were from many vehicles and went on for so long that probably every person in Richmond Beach and Innis Arden knew that something serious was happening Friday evening.

We published the preliminary police account yesterday, with photos by Marc Weinberg. Today we have more photos, from Matt Mariner Broze, and more details from Matt, from the Shoreline Fire Department, and from an Innis Arden resident named Ross.

It seems likely that the small aluminum outboard boat was capsized by the cruise ship in this photo. Police reported the accident happened at 6:10pm. At 6:13pm Matt Broze took this photo of a cruise ship from Kyu Kyu Ac Park. Matt commented, that "Although the cruise ship didn't appear to be travelling especially fast, there were no other large ships on the water in that area that might have made a large wake."

Multiple jurisdictions responded, on both land and sea. Shoreline Fire had four fire trucks in the parking lot. On the water, a private boat was first on the scene, followed by the Bainbridge Fire boat, City of Edmonds "Marine 16"  Fire / Police / Rescue boat, also, according to Ross, 

"a 44' RB-M from US Coast Guard Station Seattle, a boat from the US Coast Guard cutter Henry Blake (a buoy tender based in Everett), and a HH-65 helicopter from the Coast Guard air station in Port Angeles (which must have already been flying since it arrived from the South too quickly to have come from P.A.) all arrived about the same time."

The white cabin cruiser was first on the scene and they picked up two of the men, who had stayed with the overturned boat. They transferred them to the Bainbridge Fire boat, which beached their boat to bring them to the waiting Shoreline Fire and Medics.

The third man swam to shore. Shoreline Fire reports that an onlooker swam out to meet him in case he needed help. He apparently not only made it to shore on his own, but walked up the trail to the parking lot.

Matt reports that the man in the white t-shirt, center in front in the crowd scene, is the man who swam to shore. The man in blue to the left is a Shoreline Firefighter.

The other two were loaded onto a small John Deere ATV which belongs to the Parks Department, and taken to the Shoreline Fire medics. The three were taken to the hospital as a precaution, but were reported to be "in good shape and safe."

Sinkhole repair crew cut water line to homes in Lake Forest Park

Tuesday, December 4, 2012


Photo by Jerry Pickard

Shoreline Area News photographer Jerry Pickard woke up Monday morning to no water in his Lake Forest Park home. He went looking for the answer and found that the crews repairing the 178th sinkhole had accidentally cut the water line.

He was still waiting for water four hours later, but in the meantime, he got these shots of the repairs.

Belated update! Lake Forest Park Water District Manager Alan Kerley says that the crews did not cut the line. When they exposed the line, they discovered that it was broken and leaking, probably from shifting of the earth around the pipe. They had to turn off the water to replace the broken pipe sections.

Neighbor in need: Shoreline man hit by car

Friday, June 22, 2012

Shoreline resident Toni Nyman wants to alert the community to a neighbor in need.

She reports that Dave Olson, an employee at a small family-owned business called Video Factory on NE 145th between 15th and 17th NE, was hit by a car last week while he was walking home from work.


She says he "was hit by a driver who pulled onto the sidewalk and sent him flying. The hit-and-run driver stopped just long enough to see if Dave was alive; then he drove off."

She continues, "Dave is a guy in his 50's, with no insurance. He ended up with a broken leg and some damage to his hip. Although he will not require surgery, his medical expenses - and his loss of income - will be devastating. Many of us who frequent the store very much wish to help him out." 

Toni is working with the store owner to host a barbeque to collect money for Dave but in the meantime she wants to let people know they can donate at the Video Factory store.

She says that "Dave is a local guy who really could use the support of his community."

The phone number for Video Factory is 206-363-0839,

50 years later, family still looking for closure following Seattle World’s Fair tragedy

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

Story reprinted with permission from our news partner, the MLTNews. The family home was in Shoreline on one of the dead end streets off NE 205th on the border of Shoreline and MLT.

By Katie Burke
UW News Lab

The 1962 Seattle World’s Fair opened with a bang on April 21. For some, it was the most exciting day of their life. But for the Rutka family – and many others with homes along the Shoreline/Mountlake Terrace border – it meant losing almost everything they owned.

Two years after losing their house in the plane crash, the Rutka family posed for a photo
 in the living room of their rental home:

and father Alexander Rutka.

Moments after then-President John F. Kennedy pressed the telegraph key to start the fair, aerial bombs burst, bells clanged, thousands of balloons went up into the air, and 10 Air Force F-102s soared over the massive crowds. Alexander and Katharina Rutka and their four children – Karl, Karen, Karleen and Kimberly – were in British Columbia visiting their grandparents for Easter break and missing the excitement back home. But on that day, as they were sitting around a table eating lunch and enjoying the spring sunshine, the old wall-mounted phone in the kitchen rang.

Fifty years later, Goodwin still holds on to news clippings like this one-- and hopes to find closure.

“My father suddenly dropped the receiver,” said Karl Rutka, who now lives in Vancouver, B.C. “He was leaning against the wall, and he just collapsed to the floor.” The news they heard was that one of those 10 Air Force planes had crashed in their neighborhood, destroying their home and killing their two neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Smith. “Afterwards, as more calls began to come from friends in Seattle and the details were relayed, it was obvious there was no hoax, the reality began to take hold,” Rutka added.

According to History Link, moments after the flyby ended, one of the planes’ engines flamed out at 1,500 feet elevation. The pilot, Capt. Joseph W. Wildt, tried unsuccessfully to restart the engine, and decided to ditch the F102. He was able to safely eject himself near Lake Washington.

Wildt thought that he would be able to crash land the plane in Lake Washington, but he misaimed by three miles. The plane ultimately soared over the lake right into the Rutka home, located at 20044 24th Ave. N.E., in what is now Shoreline, just a few blocks from the King/Snohomish County line. Wildt failed to calculate the effects of his weight loss on the trajectory of the plane.

Kimberly Moran, who lived about six blocks away in Mountlake Terrace at the time of the crash, remembers seeing the plane flying very low at about house level, then “looking up and seeing a gray flash,” Moran, who was 5 years old at the time, also recalls running down the street with her mom and the neighbors to check out the crash aftermath.

When the Rutka family returned home, Karl Rutka remembers the eerie aftershock from the crash.

“The disaster scene radiated out from the point of impact: There was much broken concrete, pieces of foundation and driveway strewn all over yards of neighboring houses, even on the roofs of homes,” he said. “The path of destruction was so strange.”

The home was now a huge blackened hole, with only the recreation room left standing. Tattered roofing hung about, splintered wood littered every square foot of the ground, and parts of the concrete foundation still remained, leaving remnants of the house that once stood in the same place.

The debris trail from the Rutka house led across the road to where the Smiths’ house once stood. Their burned car sat in the driveway and their house was gone. Rutka said neighbors who witnessed the crash told his father that the Smiths were home, and Raymond Smith had opened the front door to see what the noise was just a split second before the impact occurred.

“My imagination captured the scene of the jet clipping off the top of the cedar tree, touching down on the grass, exploding into our house then launching again and killing Mr. Smith and his wife,” Rutka said. “I dreamt about that scene for a long time afterward. What it must have been like.”

In addition to killing the Smiths and destroying both their home and the Rutkas’, the crash damaged five other houses in the neighborhood. After sifting through the remains of their property and surveying the site, Rutka said his parents spent a long time conferring with officers from the base and were told to go to Paine Field and they would be taken care of.

With no furnishings and only the clothes in their suitcases from their trip to Canada, the family spent a short time in some accommodations at the base,. They rented a house at 16817 15th Ave. N.E., then later moved to Lake Forest Park so the kids could be closer to the schools they were attending at the time of the crash.

“It was a very tumultuous time,” Rutka said. “We needed to change schools, we needed to see to the demolition of what remained of our house and clean up the property, and my dad had to get back to work. I honestly do not know how my parents kept it together during that time.”

The home lost in the crash was, as Rutka said, his mother’s “dream house.” After years of menial work, his father was just beginning a new job at a mill in Ballard. His parents were finally seeing some progress, and moving into the home represented the “culmination of many dreams.” His mother painted and gardened around the modest house, working tirelessly to make it into what she envisioned. Now it was time for the family to start all over.

Fifty years later, Goodwin still holds on to news clippings like this one-- and hopes to find closure.

Very recently – on April 6 – an event similar to the 1962 World’s Fair crash occurred in Virginia Beach, Va. A Navy training jet suffered a mechanical malfunction and crashed into an apartment building, sending two pilots and five people on the ground to the hospital.

This accident resulted in residents receiving government checks to help pay for food, clothing and housing for two weeks while they figured out what to do. According to the Huffington Post, Navy officials estimate initial payments started at $2,300 for individual residents, with more going to families.

Rutka said he remembers some kind of temporary living allowance, yet to this day said he believes it was nowhere near enough to make up for the loss of their home.

“I remember thinking that it was the military and because my father was in the Navy during the war at Pearl Harbor, everything would be taken care of somehow,” he said. “The truth is, we were wrong. No one had to tell me we were not fairly compensated, I knew it.”

The least the government could have done, Rutka said, was to rebuild the home and offer something for the inconvenience and trauma of being completely disrupted and having to start from scratch.

He and his father were left to tear apart the remains of the house themselves, because once the Air Force investigation was complete, they were told it had to come down.

“I won’t ever forget these days: My father and I working together in the soot and ashes where our home once stood, tearing down what was left of a dream,” he said. “I was 12 years old. I looked at my father and saw his tears. I didn’t need anyone to tell me it wasn’t fair.

Karl’s sister, Karleen Rutka Goodwin, said there was some ensuing litigation to try to recover some of the home’s worth. Goodwin, of Mill Creek, said she believes her parents received a $2,000 to $3,000 settlement for everything, and back then, “you did not sue the government.” Her parents decided not to pursue legal action because “this was all they could handle.

“I suppose it was fair, what more could they have done at that point?” she said. “In today’s standards I would say, ‘No, it was not fair.’”

After receiving the settlement from the government, Rutka’s father showed him the check and told him it was “a pittance.” Both Rutka and Goodwin said the home’s destruction took a toll on their parents’ health. While most of the damage was emotional, Goodwin said that physically, the accident was incredibly taxing, and the children watched them both deteriorate. Their father died in 1986 at age 64, and their mother passed away in 1993 at 65.

“I don’t feel we ever really recovered from the crash,” she said. “It changed our world forever. It took everything from us that we considered a safe haven. To a child, this is everlasting devastation.”

To this day, both Rutka children have a distaste for the government. Goodwin is still holding on to newspaper clippings and trying to find closure for the accident.

Karl Rutka became an alcoholic and spent 20 years trying to recover, and finally sought treatment in 2006. Still, he holds no one in contempt for what occurred.

“I wish it wouldn’t have happened, but it did,” he said. “It happened at the World’s Fair.”

Inquest ordered into fatal police shooting of armed man in Shoreline

Friday, April 13, 2012

Fact-finding hearing is routine to determine causes and circumstances of any death involving a member of law enforcement while in performance of duties.

King County Executive Dow Constantine today ordered an inquest into the fatal shooting of David Albrecht of Shoreline by two Shoreline Police officers on August 10, 2011.

Police responding to Albrecht’s home in the 700 block of North 200th Street say they found a bloodied woman who told them her boyfriend was inside and was suicidal. Police say the 22-year old man emerged from the home armed with a shotgun and a knife, and did not respond to commands to drop the gun.

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg recommended the inquest after his office reviewed materials from the King County Sheriff’s Office, which conducted the investigation. The city of Shoreline contracts with the King County Sheriff for police services.

Inquests are fact-finding hearings conducted before a six-member jury. Under a standing Executive Order they are routinely called to determine the causes and circumstances of any death involving a member of any law enforcement agency within King County while in the performance of his or her duties.

Inquests provide transparency into law enforcement actions so the public may have all the facts established in a court of law. The ordering of an inquest should carry no other implication. Inquest jurors answer a series of interrogatories to determine the significant factual issues involved in the case, and it is not their purpose to determine whether any person or agency is civilly or criminally liable.

The order signed by the Executive requests King County District Court Presiding Judge Corinna Harn to assign a judge to set a date and conduct the inquest.

The ordering of inquests is a function vested in the county executive under the King County Code.

Shoreline man reports fictitious home invasion robbery to 911

Thursday, December 22, 2011

An 18 year old Shoreline man was booked into jail this morning after detectives discovered that he lied when he called 911 to report that he’d been the victim of a home invasion robbery.

On December 21, 2011, shortly after 3:00 pm, the Shoreline man called 911 to report that two masked men forced their way into his aunt’s home where he’d been staying. Once inside, the men ordered him to the ground at gun point and then proceeded to burglarize the home. Prior to leaving, the “suspects” forced him into a chair where he was bound and gagged.

Shoreline Police and the King County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes responded to the 911 call. As a result of their investigation they found that the man had pawned his aunt’s property and then used the robbery story to explain the theft.

The suspect was booked into jail for investigation of false reporting and theft.

The Social Experiment: one year later

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

NBC Nightly News correspondent Kristen Welker
interviews Shorecrest students last spring.

One year after The Social Experiment at Shorecrest and Shorewood High Schools made headlines around the country, the students involved are still in the news.

NBC Nightly News correspondent Kristen Welker and producer Jane Derenowski spent a half-day at Shorecrest last spring, and a portion of those interviews are now featured on the Web as part of the network's "Back to Basics" series. Some of the students have graduated, and the building it was filmed in has since been demolished to make way for the new Shorecrest gymnasium.

Watch the Shorecrest students on The Daily Nightly on msnbc.com

The Social Experiment was the brainchild of Shorecrest video production teacher Trent Mitchell, who enlisted the help of Marty Ballew, his counterpart at Shorewood. In The Social Experiment, more than 500 participating students from both schools were expected to give up their social networks for a week: no texting, online gaming, internet chat or Facebook. No cell phones either.

The experiment received nationwide attention, and ABC World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer named the students and teachers of Shorecrest and Shorewood as its Persons of the Week on the Dec. 10, 2010 national broadcast.

Victims of home explosion have strong ties to Shoreline

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Hong (Phung) Ingham

According to a new story on King 5.com, the couple who were injured in an explosion caused by a leaking gas service line (see previous story) have been identified as David and Hong (Phung) Ingham of Seattle.

There was a gas leak, possibly from corroded pipes, which allowed natural gas to pool under their home. When Hong flipped the bathroom light switch in the morning, the gas exploded. The couple were able to get out of the house before it continued to explode into small pieces and burn to the ground.

According to King 5, "Hong has been a food service worker at the Crestwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, a part of CRISTA Ministries in Shoreline, for nearly ten years. Her brother and sister also work there."  According to our sources, another brother works for the school district.

CRISTA says that "Hong is currently in serious condition at Harborview Medical Center’s intensive care unit. David was discharged on the afternoon of Tuesday, September 27."



"100% of your donation at this page will be provided to Hong and David as they recover from the Sept. 26 tragedy. Thank you for your donation and prayers for their recovery."

ShorelineAreaNews readers reported hearing the explosion from Echo Lake to Kenmore.  Briarcrest readers who were home said that it sounded like a collision, whereas those farther north thought that large tree branches had fallen on the roof.
