Looking ahead to Sunday, there could be a brief time of wintry precipitation around Western Washington as we transition to a warmer weather pattern next week.

Many forecast models pointing toward that possibility. Right now, no reason for concern about any big impacts. #wawx

Reinforced bumpers on the patrol cars allow Officers to practice the Patrol Intervention Technique.

[Renton Airport @FlyRenton]

The weather may have been hectic yesterday but today is looking much better! There's no rain (or hail) and it looks like the sun is trying to break through. Have a good Tuesday, everyone.

[Renton Police Dept. @RentonpdWA]

High speed drivers training at Pacific Raceways. Training in all weather conditions just like real life.

Guardian 1 is over the South Park neighborhood searching for a suspect involved in a pursuit. Description is a black male late 20s, wearing all black, dreadlocks in a pony tail. Pls call 911 if you see anyone matching the description in the area.

[Chopper 7 @kiro7chopper]

We passed nearby about 20 minutes before the course got hammered by that hailstorm and we wondered out loud who was at the track on a Monday. Now we know!!

[Renton Police Dept. @RentonpdWA]

@MorganKIRO7 @kiro7chopper You should come land at Pacific Raceways for our training. Or film from above. dF

[Morgan Palmer @MorganKIRO7]

It looks terrifying. We respectfully decline your kind invitation!

[WSDOT East @WSDOT_East]

@kiro7chopper You are welcome to ride-along anytime! (or fly-along?)

[Chopper 7 @kiro7chopper]

Whoa. Never seen such a road clearing tool.

[WSDOT East @WSDOT_East]

Did you drive US 195 today? Did you see the Tow Plow? Crews were training today for winter. They practice deploying, maneuvering the trailer behind the truck and raising/lowering the plow. Tow Plow is a crucial piece of equipment being able to clear 2 lanes at once in the snow.❄️
