Story from Q13 Fox
A cellphone app led to the sexual assault of a 12 year old Lake Forest Park girl
“Every single day a new app comes out on a phone and as parents we really need to be involved,” Lake Forest Park Police Chief Stephen Sutton said. “That was the cause of this.”
Adults may not have heard of many of the apps, but teens are increasingly using sites and apps like Ask.fm, Spraffl or Whisper, where they can remain anonymous and post secrets about themselves.
“Facebook is barely used anymore,” Leen, a junior at Shorecrest High School, said. “Because when you say something, you actually know who’s saying it.”
In the case of the 12-year-old, police said she was communicating with 21-year-old Ron Peterson via the app, Whisper. The app allows users to reveal secrets while staying secret, but there is also the option to see if other users are nearby and chat with them. In their conversations, the girl lied to Peterson and told him she was older.
Peterson told detectives he found the girl on the app, and eventually convinced her to climb out of her window at home and take off with him. He took her to a nearby motel where he told police he had sex with her.

“We are thrilled to have Diane represent our District—not only on local issues in the Lake Forest Park and Shoreline communities—but to also to state legislators. We are confident that her enthusiasm and energy will help legislators make sound decisions that ensure well-functioning drinking water, sewer, storm water and solid waste infrastructures," said Shoreline Water District's Board President, Larry Schoonmaker.
Says Ms. Pottinger, "I feel deeply honored to our State's Board of Public Works, and am particularly excited about the opportunities to apply my local insight and experience towards an expanded regional outreach in our state's infrastructure."
The Ridgecrest Neighborhood Association recently was approved to receive a Neighborhood Mini-Grant from the City of Shoreline.

"We hope that parents watching their children at play will get some exercise too. Plus the new equipment is located right next to the Einstein Middle School track where neighbors often walk or run. This provides exercise opportunities for all ages and all fitness levels", said Ann Erickson, chair of Hillwood Community Network.
Other wellness programs planned include a Personal Safety and Property Security Workshop, Friday, October 25, from 1 to 3pm. Guest speakers Deputy Steven Perry, Shoreline Police, and Melanie Granfors, Shoreline Fire, will give safety and emergency training. Admission is free and all Shoreline residents are welcome.
This series of four films will be shown on Thursday nights. The first film was aired on October 10; the remaining three will be October 24, and November 7 and 21 from 7pm to 8:30pm in the Fireside Room at Calvin Presbyterian Church, 18826 3rd Avenue NW.

“It was a Saturday morning, afternoon, I was working the uniform patrol in Shoreline and I was looking for a different domestic violence suspect who might be staying at the Shoreline Motel. While I was doing an area check looking for that person, I came across a vehicle that was associated with Mallory,” Coblantz said.
“Officer Maxwell is a good friend of mine, and a superstar for the Seattle Police Department. We work hand in hand and we do fugitive apprehension together for the most part when bad guys cross jurisdictional lines.”
“Based on his history, we did try the easy route of him giving him up. He chose not to, barricaded himself. We initiated a SWAT team call-out. After about a half hour of negotiations, we were able to talk him out and took him into custody without incident,” Coblantz said.
“Cary works with other agencies. You’ve heard him talk about that. The Seattle Police Department, the Edmonds Police Department — that’s real teamwork. He’s not looking for all the credit. He’s trying to help them make their cases as well and that’s tremendous.”
“There is a palpable desire for parents of children with special needs to connect,” said President Katie Rohs. “Parents are great resources for each other to learn how to best advocate for their children’s education plans. Every district surrounding Shoreline has a special needs parent group of some kind. It’s time the parents in Shoreline organize and work together for our children’s future.”

“When you consider the number of bulbs in this theatre and what it takes to simply keep them all in good working order, this project is just good dollars and sense,” Seattle Theater Group Executive Director Josh LaBelle said. “Part of being a good steward of these historic venues, also means being a good environmental citizen, and this lighting project helps us accomplish such in great measure.”

“The Paramount Theater demonstrates how energy efficient lighting can meet the needs of the most demanding professionals and audience members, while lowering operating costs,” Conservation Resources Director Glenn Atwood said. “We are excited to partner with the Paramount in another act in our long-running conservation program, in which helping our customers use electricity more efficiently provides the first-choice energy resource for the future.”
