I live nearby and witnessed the end of this after hearing a lot of noise outside. A lot of yelling by the guy who was arrested. Amazing restraint by the police. Guy kept yelling “help me, help me” Police calmly and respectfully placed him in a police car. Guy started yelling about the violation of his civil rights, but I could not see any.
This address is a rooming house that has had multiple visits by the police, usually to arrest someone, sometimes with automatic weapons and other guns drawn. There also appears to be drug activity originating from this address and many calls to the police by neighbors for same. There have been many attempts by neighbors to engage the landlord in the problems coming from residents of this house, to no avail. Same landlord was featured on KOMO 4 TV news story about a building he owned in the U District where residents complained that he failed to make much needed repairs to building and showed a sink hanging off the wall by the plumbing. Landlord’s comments on TV was that his tenants often cause such damage so they can get out of paying their rent. Neighbors in Wallingford have formed and, at the advice of police, have reported any (read many) incidents of drug dealing behavior and other unusual behavior in the neighborhood, from individuals who seem to have ties to this address.

Keep after them- it might take 2-5 years to get rid of them, but in meantime keep things as hard for them to multiply as possible.
