The Argosy Christmas Ship™ festival is a holiday celebration that has been a Northwest tradition for 60 years. Its main purpose is to bring communities together to celebrate the holiday season. From our flotilla of ships to the crowds of people who gather onshore, this celebration is one of the gems of the holiday season. More. Photo/Argosy

SPD:

On December 2nd at approximately 7:01 p.m. the male suspect was driving northbound on Rainier Avenue South in his Toyota Corolla. At South Andover Street the suspect drove up onto the sidewalk striking a female pedestrian. The suspect continued on northbound and was stopped by responding officers near 20th Avenue South and South Jackson Street.

SFD Medics responded and transported the female victim to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

Investigating officers evaluated the suspect for signs of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The suspect displayed signs of impairment and was taken to Harborview Medical Center for a blood draw as part of an on-going Vehicular Assault and DUI investigation.
