Detectives have name of a suspect but are not releasing the person's name
Jealously appears to have played a role in an argument that preceded the shooting death of a 17-year-old Shorecrest senior and 18-year-old Shorewood senior early Wednesday, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.

The shooting was not random or part of a gang conflict, said operations captain Scott Strathy of the Shoreline Police Department. It occurred about 12:30 a.m. in the 300 block of Richmond Beach Road outside the Maplewood Court Apartments on the border of the Hillwood and Richmond Highlands neighborhoods. Tiana Montgomery, 17, of Lake Forest Park died at Harborview yesterday …

The public investment to help finance the project and be repaid via arena revenue would be $200 million if both an NBA and NHL team relocates, or $120 million if only an NBA team relocates.
Today, the effort to build an arena to lure an NBA and possibly an NHL team to Seattle became official. Chris Hansen, the Seattle native and San Francisco hedge fund manager, along with Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and King County Executive Dow Constantine, announced the parties had reached a memorandum of understanding regarding a new, $490 million arena in the city's SODO District.
