7:57 PM: Thanks for the tip. The Guardian One law-enforcement helicopter – owned by the King County Sheriff’s Office but also used to support other agencies that don’t have helicopters, like Seattle PD – is circling in the Westwood/White Center vicinity right now. Police were checking out a report of a burglary on 26th SW; more when we get it.

8:01 PM: Tracking shows Guardian One already has left that area and is now circling in Seaview/Beach Drive.

8:07 PM: It’s left there and headed northeast out of West Seattle. (We’ve seen this pattern before on occasion, where the helicopter crew loops randomly for a bit over a site here and a site there and then moves on, on a night with good flying weather …)
