A strategy to stop shoplifters at a local Safeway is under scrutiny by the city of Seattle, which issued a notice of violation due to an entryway that is kept closed to prevent theft.
The Safeway at 8340 15th Ave NW in Seattle's Crown Hill neighborhood has endured a long struggle with shoplifters.
In a recent move, the grocery store opted to close one of its two entrances to give these thieves one less escape route.
“I have seen people just blatantly carry stuff out," said Gretchen, a long-time shopper who didn’t want her last name used. “They have to fight it somehow. It's been such an egregious problem for so long that I don't know that they have a lot of options."

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedCalifornia's top insurance regulator on Friday said he would approve an emergency request by State Farm to raise premiums 22% on home insurance for about a million customers if the insurance giant could justify the hike at a public hearing. State Farm, the state's largest insurer with roughly 1 million home insurance policies in California, said the emergency rate would help the company rebuild its capital following the Los Angeles wildfires that destroyed more than 16,000 buildings, mostly homes. The company is trying to prevent a "dire" financial situation that executives said could push homeowners into the state's last-resort insurance option. California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara said that other California insurers won't be able to absorb State Farm's customers if the insurance giant stops doing business in California, but that he wanted more data on how the company manages its finances and calculates risks. He asked the company to present its argument publicly on April 8 to a judge, who will then give a proposed decision. Lara will then make a final decision. "State Farm claims it is committed to its California customers and aims to restore financial stability. I expect both State Farm and its parent company to meet their responsibilities and not shift the burden entirely onto their customers," Lara said in a statement. "The facts will be revealed in an open, transparent hearing."…

These criminal court jurists set violent offenders loose ahead of trial at an astounding rate — with some springing alleged perps more than 80% of the time, according to a Post analysis of pretrial detention data from the Office of Court Administration. The analysis looked at 96 judges who handled a minimum of 25 cases in the first six months of 2024 where the top charge at arraignment was a violent felony. Nearly all such cases are still bail-eligible, even after radical criminal-justice reforms were enacted by Albany lawmakers in 2019.
