I filled up on that cheap gas on the Yakama Reservation today before making the drive back home. They don’t have all the Washington State gas taxes. Saved me about $10
This is not a April Fools joke. Homicides are down by -31% in Washington State so far this year when compared to April 1st 2023. Seattle down by -22%, Tacoma down by -50% and Spokane down by -55%. We're seeing lower homicide totals in about every County so far this year.
One of the worst weeks so far this year in our state. A double digit increase. 23 people shot this week with 10 deaths. Washington State is still trending to have more homicides this year than they did in the record breaking year of 2022.
MURDER ZONE: South King County has seen nearly 50 homicides so far in 2023. More homicides than the City of Seattle. I'll link the interactive map in the comment section below.
I'm just reporting the numbers, that's all. These are the raw numbers of people being shot, stabbed, beaten or any other way of being killed in our state. If you think I have some other motive for doing this, go and seek mental help. Its all about the numbers, nothing else.
A shooting has taken place at the Gorge Amphitheater campgrounds. According to the police scanner, the shooter is now in custody and multiple victims have been reported.
Please check in on any of your friends that are at Beyond Wonderland tonight.
Just as I predicted a few weeks ago, Washington State has broken their all-time homicide total by early November. With todays update, Washington State has now passed last years record total of 325.
How about some good news. Yakima County went the whole month of August without a homicide. That is almost unheard of there. Last homicide was July 20th. Keep it going Yakima.
What a wild week. A car prowl turns into murder at Southcenter mall. A man is found shot dead in a million dollar Bellevue neighborhood. Another man found shot dead in rural Yakima County, a shootout/car jacking on I-5 near Olympia. Tacoma adds another body to their record total.
Signs of gang warfare on Casino Road in Everett this morning. Its quiet clear to me most of these recent shootings in Everett have links to gangs, although the city won't admit that. Everett's had 8 shootings since Wednesday.

Call it what it is Lynnwood PD, This was a "Gang Shooting" and is not an isolated incident. There are several gangs shooting up Everett & Lynnwood and it can happen anywhere/anytime. This victim was in the same gang as the victim in Spruce Park last year-
Homicides are down ⬇️⬇️ by a whopping 39% this year in Washington State when compared to this date last year. Tacoma, Seattle, Yakima all reporting lower homicide totals!!
In 2022 Washington State averaged 31.5 murders per month, 1.03 per day. The worst month was August with 46 and the best month was December with 19. January 2022 had 29 homicides and February 2022 had 34. We are right on pace with last year. Doesn't seem to be slowing down.
And just like that Washington has more than doubled their homicide total in one week. Started off with a double homicide at a Seattle homeless camp, 2 more homicides in Tacoma, DV killing near Wenatchee, murder/suicide in Spokane and a victim of a hammer attack in DT Seattle died
YAKIMA MURDER SUSPECT: Police say this man shot and killed 3 people inside a Circle K market this morning in East Yakima, then carjacked/shot a 4th person outside the store. That shooting victim is unaccounted for. Last seen in a grey/silver Chrysler on Highway 24 towards Moxee.

The memorial for 13-year-old Jayda Woods-Johnson was held today in Lynnwood. She was an innocent bystander shot to death at Alderwood Mall on July 3rd.

Due to a privacy issue I'm having with Google Maps I will not be sharing my 2024 homicide map with the public. If they revert back to the old way by allowing the user to hide their first and last name I will again share my maps with everyone. Sorry.
Seattle Police at scene of death investigation at 12020 Aurora Avenue North. First responding officer reporting male victim DOA in parking lot with head blown out, calling for homicide detectives.
According to my data, the 63-year old man randomly beaten to death at the Bellevue Transit station is Washington State's 200th homicide victim of the year. At the current pace of 1 homicide per day we should easily break our record homicide total this year.
Should I tell him I’ve never owned a gun and I am in the city everyday? 😂 It’s just a map showing where people have been murdered, why is this so upsetting to some people?
Well the past 7 days was our worst so far in this New Year. Ten new homicides added to the total. The triple homicide in Yakima started the week off. Seven jurisdictions logged their 1st homicide of the year. Seattle logged their 6th killing.
Summer is heating up, Washington State is logging a homicide about every 16 hours now. Last years average was one per 22.8 hours. There has been 9 homicides in the past six days. We also have about a dozen more homicides this year than we did at the same time in 2022.

I decided to make one for the Washington State this year. Just hit 1,200 followers. Thank you! I’m curious what city everyone is from if you don’t mind commenting below? 🙏🏻
A follower has reached out to me this morning that his cousin was murdered on the Yakama Indian Reservation yesterday. She was a Native American female. But nothing in the local media. I’m trying to get more info or maybe the

For someone who talks this much about numbers, you don't seem to understand them. Is the population shrinking, because that would make your bullshit remarkable. Population growth explains an increase in crime, does it not?
What about poverty - does that impact crime? Guess not.
WANTED FOR MURDER: Federal Way Police have issued an arrest warrant for Samuel Ramirez Jr for the May 21st double homicide at Stars Bar & Grill, killing two female bartenders.
It's pretty rare for two suspects to open fire on each other and both kill each other, its even more rare for it to happen twice in one day. Pierce County Sheriff and Everett Police both investigate double homicides.
The shooting victim in Yakima's Randal Park incident is reportedly deceased. Yakima Police will now launch a homicide investigation. Nothing in local media yet. I will post a update when I can.
People get angry when our homicides are at a record highs, and they doubt me when I post the numbers have fallen, I can’t win either way with this crowd 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Just over a hour ago there was reports of a shooting inside Macy’s at the Valley Mall in Union Gap. Reports a loss prevention officer was shot trying to stop a thief. Limited details beyond that have been released so far. Will update if I hear more.
74 Hoover gang member that goes by the street name "TIny Goofy" has been arrested for Tukwila homicide. Sources tell me he is suspected in others shootings/homicides in King County.
Violent week for WAState. 9 new homicides added to the YTD total, including 3 double homicides this week. Homicides are trending up +13.1% so far this year. Could have been a lot worse with at least a dozen other non-fatal shooting victims reported.
I'm getting multiple messages on this Toppenish shooting, and there are unconfirmed reports this might have been a internal dispute involving a Sureno gang in Toppenish where one member killed other members. I'll keep updating as I get more info.
A teenager is gunned down on the street in a gang shooting and a nearby house was also hit by gunfire, but don't worry folks there is no ongoing threat to the community even though no arrest have been made.
@EverettPolice
Criminal homicides are down by about 35% so far this year, but fatal shootings by police are up by 66%. Kind of weird how these two numbers are going in completely different directions.
Washington's homicide total is up by +10.2% so far this year vs. 2022. Last year we hit homicide
#172
on June 21st. Seattle's homicides are UP +57% and Tacoma's are down -30%. Whatever Tacoma is doing, its working. Currently Tacoma is 29 days w/o a homicide.
Some of the totals I’ve posted are being questioned by some folks so I’m going to double check everything and post a weekly update tomorrow morning. Keeping track of these numbers statewide has been a challenge but I want to make sure I’m providing the most accurate info for you
I saw "Hosmer" was trending on Twitter, and I immediately thought there was probably another murder on Hosmer Street in Tacoma. But all it was, the Red Sox released Eric Hosmer LOL
Heavy police and medic response this morning across the street from Angle of the Winds Casino on 241st ST NE. Crime scene tape is up around a property. I haven't seen anything online about this yet. Will update if I find anything else out.
For those who say homicides "slow down" once its cold outside, this week just proved you wrong. Ten new homicides since last update. 7 of them happened outside in the cold weather.
At approximately 1:30 a.m., Patrol units responded to the area of 2700 6th Avenue for a shooting inside a business with multiple victims. One of the victims has succumbed to their wounds. This incident is being investigated as a homicide. Please use alternate routes.
Last year (2023) Washington State hit homicide
#100
on March 29th. This year we hit
#100
on May 17th. Homicide cases are down by approximately 32% so far this year.
Another busy week for homicides since last week. Triple homicide in a Kitsap Co. rehab home. In Seattle a business owner defended himself, shooting and killing a robber at a Ballard smoke shop. Unfortunately we had our youngest victim of the year, a 4-month old was killed by 1/3
Rest in peace. I understand each victim is more than just another number. I apologize if any of my posts seem like I lack compassion. That is not my intention. I’m just trying to cover each case in 280 characters or less. RIP to everyone ❤️

One that died ran the sober living home. My husband played softball with him. Much is still not known because they have in custody was on drugs and the rest are dead. What can be said. cssa lost an amazing man. What can be said, he was not just another homicide.
**BREAKING NEWS** Yakima Police on scene of a shooting at Randal Park in West Yakima. Reports of an a person causing a disturbance has been shot by a park visitor. Medics doing CPR on gunshot victim.
A bit of good news. Vancouver, Washington is seeing a -50% decrease in homicides this year. And surprisingly they aren't seeing much of a spill over in crime from Portland which is having a record year for murders.
Seven new homicides added to the weekly total. Started with a man found shot dead in South Seattle, then 3 homicides in 24 hours in the Spokane area. Kent & Burien both had cases of a male victim found shot dead in a parking lot and a mother killed her child in Tacoma on Sunday.
It seems there is little to no traffic enforcement on our freeways, on Saturday I drove Marysville to Yakima (175 mile trip) and only seen one marked WSP vehicle the whole way. Drivers are treating our freeways like NASCAR speedway
Even though Tacoma has seen a 23% Drop in homicides this year they still hold the crown for having the highest homicide rate out of our 25 largest cities in Washington State.
