Protests, Shootings, and Mild Weather: Your Seattle Local Pulse for January 25th

Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, January 25th. We kick off with breaking news from downtown, where a protest unfolded yesterday afternoon outside the Henry Jackson Federal Building on 2nd Avenue at Madison Street. The Seattle Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression rallied against the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, blocking southbound traffic around 6 p.m. Organizers called it an emergency vigil drawing community groups, and we expect updates as it develops. Shifting to public safety, Seattle police are investigating a late-night shooting Friday on 3rd Avenue near Wall Street in Belltown. A 19-year-old woman was seriously injured after a disturbance outside a venue and taken to Harborview Hospital; she remains in serious condition. The suspect fired multiple rounds at the building and fled; no arrests yet, and she wasnt the target. Call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000 with tips.
