Seattle police are investigating a stabbing in the Belltown neighborhood after officers were called to the area Monday, the department said. Detectives have opened an active investigation, but officials have not yet released information about the victims’ conditions or whether anyone has been taken into custody.
What police say
According to a post by the Seattle Police Department on X, officers responded to reports of a stabbing in Belltown and investigators were on scene collecting information. The department’s update was brief and said more details would be released when available.
Belltown's recent spike in violence
The call comes amid a string of violent incidents in the neighborhood this month, including an early-April armed robbery that Seattle police later upgraded to a homicide, as reported by KIRO 7. Local coverage has also documented other shootings and police responses in Belltown, a pattern chronicled in reporting such as Gunfire Rocks Belltown.
How to help
Seattle police routinely ask witnesses to reach out; the department's blotter has urged anyone with information to call the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000. If you saw the incident or captured video, police say to contact the tip line or call 911 in an emergency.
