Murder & assault charges filed in death of transit operator

On December 23, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged a defendant with:

Murder in the First Degree with a deadly weapon enhancement
Assault in the Second Degree
Assault in the Third Degree

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office asked the Court to hold the defendant with $5 million bail. The Court set bail at that amount.

“Transit drivers are dedicated public servants who provide a critical service to the people of King County, and this kind of violence is unacceptable,” King County Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion said.

“Shawn Yim’s death is heartbreaking, and he will not be forgotten. We want clear accountability at each step of the court process.”

The defendant is expected to remain in jail on the bail amount set by the Court.

On the three charges:

the Murder in the First Degree charge is for the death of Metro driver Shawn Yim;
the Assault in the Second Degree charge is for the pepper spray used against Mr. Yim before the stabbing; and
the Assault in the Third Degree charge is for the kick to Mr. Yim before the stabbing. Each are separate offenses under the law.

There have been questions about the defendant's arrest in a 2023 homicide investigation.

After numerous search warrants and months of investigation in that 2023 case, there was insufficient evidence to disprove the defendant’s claim that he acted in self-defense.

A case was not dismissed by prosecutors. A case was not declined. A case was not dropped.

The case was not referred to prosecutors when the defendant was in custody in 2023. As noted in the charging documents filed today, “If able, under the law, the King County Prosecutor’s Office would have filed murder charges against the defendant for the killing.”

Defendants are innocent until proven guilty.

Polar Bear Plunge at Matthews Beach in Seattle

Waiting for a signal to plunge into the cold water

Story and photos by David Carlos

I tell myself one day, on the first of January, I'll plunge into the frigid waters of the Pacific Northwest. But I never do. I'd rather be a warm bystander.

Costumes were the order of the day

Not these hearty souls, numbering in the hundreds here at Matthews Beach Park in Seattle on January 1, 2025. They're here to purify themselves in the blessed waters of Lake Washington.

I noticed an older gentleman patiently waiting to get in the water. I wandered over to him and asked, "Why do you do it?"

He laughed and said, "Actually, it's just another day. See, I swim every morning."

How do you get warm after getting out of the water? "I put my bathrobe back on," he said.

Young and old got an early start time

The young-uns were given the first chance to wade in the water at 11:45am. Some trepidatious ones were carried in by their parents.

All made it out alive and well. Shivering, but smiling at their accomplishment.

At Noon, the rest of the crowd excitedly entered. Although they were asked to walk carefully, many were too anxious and did a quick pace.

Headed for shore

Many went in, and hurriedly went back to shore.

Exuberance!

Others were more cold-blooded and stayed in a good 15 minutes. As one man walked back on land, he said, "It was a religious experience!"

Starbucks provided warm drinks for everyone.

At least one was neck deep in the water

Those who got in neck-deep in the water were gifted a special badge of achievement.

King County Department of Health has issued a notice of intent to issue a civil fine on the license of Virginia Mason Medical Center (HAC.FS.00000010) pending further legal action.

The notice alleges that Virginia Mason Medical Center, located at 1100 9th Ave., Seattle, WA 98101, was issued a civil fine in the amount of $1,000 for not submitting their hospital staffing committee charter by July 1, 2024, the due date under RCW 70.41.420(11). The public will continue to be updated should further action occur in the future.

The Washington State Department of Health has issued a notice of intent to issue a civil fine on the license of St. Francis Hospital (HAC.FS.00000201) pending further legal action.

The notice alleges that St. Francis Hospital, located at 34515 9th Ave S, Federal Way, WA 98003, failed to correct deficiencies previously cited.

The hospital was issued a civil fine in the amount of $10,000 for repeat citations related to the facility’s use of restraints and insufficient staff training associated with restraint use. The public will continue to be updated should further action occur in the future.

St. Francis and Virginia Mason are part of the same medical group.

In Spokane County notices were issued to MultiCare Deaconess Hospital (HAC.FS.60769397) for not submitting their hospital staffing committee charter for missing a fifth 30-day period since the July 1 deadline.

The Department of Health has issued a second notice of intent to issue a civil fine on the license of MultiCare Valley Hospital (HAC.FS.60769398) pending further legal action.

Shorecrest basketball

From HeraldNet.com

The Scots of Shorecrest High School boys basketball did not come out onto their home floor to warm up until 10 minutes before tipoff. But when they came out, it was something to behold.

Shorecrest, now 10-0, hosted Cascade (2-6) on Monday night with a perfect season on the line. All indications of their loss column shifting were flushed just about as quickly as senior Devan Jones (11 points) threw down two early slams en route to a 17-0 Shorecrest start and an 84-35 win
