After Wednesday's unusually quiet 16-incident day, Thursday swung in the opposite direction with 37 incidents and 10 arrests. Four of those incidents were violent, including two felony assaults and a misdemeanor assault that led to an arrest. The evening was especially active: eight of the ten arrests happened between 7 PM and midnight.

Other NonCriminal led the day with eight reports, mostly information reports and paperwork like trespass authorization letters. DUI had a notable showing with two arrests, one in Sehome at 2 AM and another in Puget just before midnight. Missing Person reports are up 500% week-over-week (six vs. one), with two juvenile runaway reports Thursday alone, in Barkley and Cordata. Felony assault appeared twice, once on the 4300 block of Meridian St around midday and once downtown on N Commercial St in the evening, where someone was pepper sprayed but declined to provide suspect information.

Ten arrests is well above the 30-day average of 6.3. The most interesting was a 36-year-old picked up for theft on the 4200 block of Meridian St who also had an outstanding felony warrant; it's her fifth arrest in our data going back to February 2025. A 41-year-old cited downtown for driving with a suspended license was also on her fifth lifetime arrest. Seven of the ten people arrested Thursday were first-time arrests in our system.
