Drivers hit by debris urge local leaders to take action before it s too late (Washington State Patrol, Twitter) As drivers along I-90 and I-5 through Seattle continue to get hit by rocks and other debris thrown onto roads, victims are pleading with local leaders to find a solution to the troubling trend. On Tuesday afternoon, seven cars were hit with debris thrown onto I-90 near Rainier Avenue, with police arresting a suspect after one person whose car was hit got out and chased the man down. There have been over 200 similar incidents on King County roads reported to Washington State Patrol since April, most of which have occurred along I-5 near Seattle’s downtown corridor and near the Rainier Avenue on- and off-ramps on I-90. WSP has made five total arrests in connection to these crimes.

Homeless camps along I-90 to be swept Thursday The encampment along I-90 will be cleared on Thursday SEATTLE - The problem is nothing new for the Washington State Department of Transportation or officials from the city of Seattle: homeless encampments alongside or underneath freeways intermingle between city and state property boundaries.  That is what has happened along the greenbelts surrounding Rainier Avenue South and Interstate 90 this week. Rocks and debris were tossed onto the freeway damaging vehicles. The incidents grew into more than 200 similar reports since January. On Tuesday, Washington State Troopers arrested a man accused of throwing materials into freeway traffic. The latest incident spurred WSDOT to announce a plan to sweep a pair of homeless encampments along the interchange. It was described as a matter of public safety, insisting those experiencing homelessness in the immediate area would have to leave Thursday.
