Seattle SWAT boosts patrols in Chinatown-International District amid safety concerns

SWAT officers and patrols are actively monitoring the intersection of 12th Avenue and Jackson Street in Seattle's Chinatown-International District to address ongoing safety concerns, according to the Seattle Police Department.

Detective Brian Pritchard said, "There’s been a lot of activity over here as far as drug activity selling of products, and officers are out here to if need be make arrests."

The area has been plagued by incidents, including a mass stabbing late last year and an unprovoked attack where a woman stabbed a 22-year-old man in the lower back. The Metro bus service also stopped on 12th and Jackson due to safety concerns for bus drivers and riders after a man was fatally stabbed while working his shift as a King County Metro bus driver.
