9:54 PM: Thanks for the tips and photos (the one above is from Madeline). That car turned up on the beach at Cormorant Cove Park (3700 block of Beach Drive) early today. It had been towed by the time we got there for a look but our photographer says tire tracks suggest it arrived on the beach via the path from the sidewalk. We’re checking with SPD to see if they have more information on what happened; the initial report is logged at 6 am as “suspicious circumstances.”
1:29 PM: Cynthia sent that photo, saying that’s what she saw just before 6 am, and she promptly called 911. SFD initially sent a “water rescue response” but canceled the units after determining the car was empty. Still waiting to hear from SPD, particularly regarding whether the car was stolen.
1:45 PM: And now we know. SPD tells WSB the car had been stolen, from Renton.
