April 10th - Arbor Day at Shorewood Park

The City of Burien Parks has chosen to hold the April 10th 2013 Arbor Day celebration at Shorewood Park this year. A key part of the ceremony will honor Fred Henzi , most fitting as Fred planted a number of trees at the park.

Ever since Burien became a ‘Tree’ city, a tree has been planted on Arbor Day, April 10th, at a city park. Officials from the city, county and state are invited to the ceremony and neighbors are welcome to attend. The ceremony starts at 10AM, and will be at the south entrance, off of 27th Pl SW.

Suspicious Male Knocking on Door

"I called the police and reported a Caucasian male who was observed going through yards on 26th Ave SW the morning of 3/1/13. He then went down a private drive and entered my yard on 26th pl. I was coming up my driveway and surprised him in my car. He continued down the street knocking on the door of a neighbor asking for a "John", when she said she didn't know anyone by that name he took off running towards 26 Th Ave. He was a slender Caucasian male, late 20's maybe early 30's, about 6 foot tall with short wavy dark hair and poor complexion. He was wearing baggy black sweats."

Several Cars Hit Monday Night

Our car was broken into last night. Everything in the glove box & middle console was thrown around the front seat of the car & my trunk was popped open. I called the police (you can call 911 & ask for non-emergency line) & they said I was the 5th in our neighborhood to call this morning. If your car was broken into please report it to the police. The more who call maybe the more patrolling they will do!

New Neighbor Victim of Car Prowling

Hi,

I wanted to let the neighborhood know that our cars were prowled last
night. Just moved here from Greenwood, and my car was never broken
into over an 8 year period! Probably just luck. Anyway, both cars
prowled. Ipod stolen, makeup, and a brand new columbia ski jacket.

We're on 21st avenue, right near the shorewood on the sound sign.

Thanks,

Jenn

Our Brody

The Crockett Family would like to thank everyone for all of your concern when Brody was attacked. Despite huge efforts, he never did fully recover. Yesterday he became very ill from complications due to his injuries and trauma. Last night we had to say good bye.  Again, we are most appreciative for the support of SOTS and beyond.

Prowlers in Stolen Vehicle

"We spotted prowlers out last night on Marine View Dr SW & 28th Ave SW. They'd parked across the street, female on her cell phone standing in street. My husband approached her and she became agitated after he told me to call 911. Then a male walked out from somewhere up the street, both got into the car and sped off heading south. Officer said the blue/gray BMW [they were driving] was stolen. He checked several homes with no lights on for possible break in."

New Development in Theft Case

"Just thought I'd share some exciting news, related to the last posting. My husband received a call this morning from the police officer who took our report on the theft. They arrested a man driving a red pick up truck last night who was doing another break in near Shorewood Grocery. The truck had many stolen items in it. We hope all the break in's were done by the man that was arrested and there are not more people involved."

 

Warning: More Tools Stolen

"If you're not already aware, everyone in Shorewood should keep everything locked up very tight. There have been a lot of break-ins and night prowling in the last month.The King County Sheriff's Office has promised to put extra Deputies on patrol at night to hopefully help control this issue. We were personal victims last night, Feb.18th 2013. Our storage shed was broken into and a lot of tools were stolen. Please be on alert for anyone who looks suspicious. We have been told by other victims and police in the last couple of days that it is bicyclists wearing back packs or people on foot being followed by a red pick up truck."

     

Items Stolen from Garage

"My garage at 2325 SW 120th St. was broken into last night or early this morning. A gasoline powered chain saw and a two wheel golf bag cart were stolen. Entry to the garage was through a side door. A policeman for Burien came to the house and got a report of the crime."
