Do not think about heading to Downtown right now, unless you’re going on foot. And if you’re already Downtown, well, you’re gonna be there a while. A Seattle police officer shot and killed a man armed with a knife near the intersection of Boren and Howell, so several streets are shut down, meaning traffic and buses are being re-routed. It is not pretty.
(Thanks as always to Seattle 911 blog for being a reliable go-to resource in just these situations.)
