Theft, vandalism plague Washington businesses and owners have had enough

Lynnwood police are searching for a thief who stole more than a $1,000 in cash from a teen and his family at a local nonprofit earlier this week.
The theft was caught on camera, and the incident occurred in less than a minute at Bella’s Voice at 4001 198th Street SW in Lynnwood, which has two thrift stores for clothing and furniture.

That woman, 47-year-old Tami Areson, is no stranger to police or prison in Washington. She is now held, pending the outcome of a mental health evaluation, to determine her competency to stand trial.

Some Tacoma businesses are playing loud music to deter unwanted activity in their parking lots. But, the stores are facing backlash from neighbors and they could end up in trouble with the city.

An effort to counter violent crime in Tacoma is leading to fewer reports of shootings, stabbings, and assaults overall, but the police department’s added emphasis along South Hosmer Street has yet to make a difference for most neighbors.

    :23 Unfortunately this is a misguided attempt at advocacy by our governor. We are in King County but the same thing happens to us. We call 911 and sometimes the same day someone drives by the house that calls 911 and shoots at the house. I signed onto a recall for our governor only to have it thrown out by the secretary of state for lack of interest. Nobody has "had enough" and it shows in their actions. It doesn't matter how you vote because voter laws are ignored and nobody is willing to step up and remove anyone from office so get used to it. The public's actions prove to be different than the media claims.
