4:30 PM: Lots of reports of a dark helicopter circling over east West Seattle. It’s not on radar and we have no correlating reports of ground activity so far, but we’re driving around looking.
4:43 PM: We are in High Point and have eyes on the helicopter but no ID and not seeing anything unusual on the ground.
4:50 PM: Multiple readers say it’s a Guardian 1 chopper (King County Sheriff’s Office but they support multiple local law enforcement agencies).
4:52 PM: Now out of our sight – sounds like it’s headed west. We are checking with KCSO.
5:05 PM: Commenters now report a helicopter sighting over Admiral (still no radar ID).
5:43 PM: Still trying to find out what the circling was for, checking archives of a variety of radio channels, but haven’t found a clue yet. Didn’t see any ground law enforcement when we had the helicopter in view overhead in High Point vicinity. Will update this story if/when we get info.
