Last night I felt like doing something outside. So, I got a six pack of Busch "tall boys" and drove over to Carkeek Park to watch the sunset and drink. I thought it was a little strange I was being followed by one of "Seattle's finest" all the way into the park. Upon arriving at the main parking lot, I saw no less than 5 news vans set up with their satellite antennas up. There were also probably 10 + cop cars and a couple of ambulances. I slowed down and listened and looked to try to get a grasp on what was going down. With the window rolled down, I heard hysterical sobbing. I turned to my friend in the car and said, "I bet someone got hit and killed by a train."
Well I wasn't going to hang out and drink beers in an environment like that. I charged down to Gasworks Park where I soaked up the phenomenal views of the city, drank my beer, talked and "darrelled it up."
When I got home I googled "Carkeek Park news," and sure enough, a pedestrian was struck by a train and killed. You can read about it here, or here. This is seriously a tragic event, I feel bad for the friends and family of the victim.
