Boy, 12, arrested in West Seattle for attempted carjacking
The Seattle Police Department (SPD) arrested a 12-year-old boy following his suspected involvement in an attempted carjacking in the West Seattle neighborhood at the end of last month.
Late in the morning of Aug. 30, SPD officers responded to reports of “an in-progress carjacking by multiple juvenile suspects” in the 4300 block of Holgate Street, according to a post from the department’s SPD Blotter.
Members of the SPD located one of the suspects, who was unintentionally left behind by his accomplices. Officers also detained a male bystander who was armed with a gun.
Officers determined the owner of the vehicle found four or five suspects inside of that vehicle and were attempting to steal it. Bystanders and witnesses confronted the suspects who exited the vehicle, leaving a cell phone behind, the SPD Blotter post states.
The suspects later returned for the phone and charged at one of the involved individuals. A bystander then fired at least one shot at the suspects’ getaway vehicle. From there, the suspects fled the scene leaving one child behind. Officers arrested that child for attempted theft of a motor vehicle.
Officers also arrested the bystander for aiming or discharging a firearm. The SPD reported he was released from custody at the scene pending further investigation. The firearm used was recovered as evidence. In addition, two shell casings were recovered.
The SPD has, to this point, failed to locate any other suspects.

Looking more at juvenile crimes in Washington
Looking at arrest data, the top crimes for juveniles in Washington in 2023 were liquor law violations, drunkenness, robbery and vehicle theft. Strachan believes more juveniles are living a life of crime.
“More than 20% of arrestees for motor vehicle theft in 2023 were juveniles,” Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) Executive Director Steve Strachan said during a press session earlier this summer. “And we’ve seen an increase just from 2022 to 2023 of 24% in juveniles arrested.”
The data from the WASPC’s recent reports show there were 6,234 juvenile arrests in 2022 and 7,730 in 2023. (A PDF of the organization’s 2022 Crime in Washington report can be seen here. A PDF of the 2023 version of the report can be viewed here.)
Moving over the city of Renton, juvenile crime is skyrocketing in that Western Washington city, Police Chief Jon Schuldt said earlier this year.
“There’s no other way to put it, but what we are seeing is more and more juveniles involved in violent and property crimes. In some cases, rates are doubling and tripling year over year,” Schuldt stated in an X post.
Schuldt cited some startling numbers, noting that juvenile assaults jumped 40%, stolen vehicles swelled 342% and armed robberies of gas stations skyrocketed a stunning 900% from 2022 to 2023.
The Renton police chief posted his message in March, the day after two 15-year-olds were arrested for driving a stolen car and carrying a loaded handgun.

SEATTLE – Western Washington is staying locked into a cool and unsettled weather pattern as we head into the second half of the week.
Showers will continue to rotate through the region over the next several days as a series of weather disturbances move overhead, keeping skies mostly cloudy and temperatures running below average for mid-May.
Thursday will bring a brief break in the action before the next weak system arrives later in the day. Expect scattered showers to redevelop with plenty of cloud cover sticking around. Temperatures will remain cool, with highs near 60 degrees.
It will be cool on Thursday in Western Washington with increasing clouds and showers. (FOX 13 Seattle)
What’s next:
The weather turns a bit more active Friday as the next system swings into the Pacific Northwest. Western Washington will see widespread showers and even the possibility of a few isolated thunderstorms. While not everyone will hear thunder, a few heavier downpours and small hail can’t be ruled out if any storms manage to develop during the afternoon.
Rain showers will push through Western Washington again on Friday afternoon. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Saturday will be cool with scattered showers and another chance for isolated thunderstorms, especially near the Cascades. Afternoon highs will struggle to make it out of the 50s across many lowland Puget Sound area communities.
Mountain travelers should also be prepared for a dramatic change compared to the recent warm spell. Much colder air will filter into the Cascades this weekend, and while significant snow accumulation looks unlikely, higher elevations could still see snow showers and sharply colder conditions. Anyone planning outdoor recreation in the mountains should be ready for winter-like weather at times.
Snow levels will drop to near pass levels in the Washington Cascades Friday through Sunday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Looking Ahead:
The pattern finally begins to improve late in the weekend and into early next week. High pressure is expected to rebuild over the northeastern Pacific, bringing a return to drier weather and some sunshine. Temperatures should gradually rebound back into the 60s by Monday and Tuesday, although the ridge may remain weak enough to allow for occasional clouds at times.
Temperatures will be cool the next three days with showers in Seattle, but next week will be drier and warmer. (FOX 13 Seattle)
