Crash Closes 509, Stabbing in White Center, Missing Man Found Safe - Seattle Local Pulse, September 14, 2025

Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, September 14, 2025. We start our day with breaking news out of West Seattle. Overnight, a fatal crash shut down southbound Highway 509 at Cloverdale. State Troopers report that a 50-year-old man on a motorcycle was killed near the Myers Way exit after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in a white Toyota. The driver sped off, and investigators are asking for tips from anyone who may have witnessed the incident. The highway reopened at 4:30 this morning, but the investigation continues. Last night, just past 9, the King County Sheriff’s office responded to a stabbing and robbery near the bus stop at 15th and Roxbury on the north White Center side. The victim is recovering at Harborview, and deputies quickly detained a suspect who already had a felony warrant. Authorities ask anyone with information to come forward, and at this time there’s no broader risk to the community. On a hopeful note, Seattle Police confirm that Yukio, a missing and endangered man who was last seen near Meridian Avenue North and the Burke-Gilman Trail, was found safe and reunited with his family. Stories like these are a testament to the power of community vigilance.
