Sea Slug Animation Festival is a film festival in the Pacific Northwest celebrating the ingenuity, creativity, and weirdness of independent animation.

Sea Slug showcases all forms and mediums of animation, but especially film. Sea Slug strives to empower local animators and animation fans from British Columbia to Washington to Oregon to NorCal to form personal and professional connections around animation, and to take pride in the talent right here in our neck of the woods.

This entire situation has been wild. From Miles' public defender turning to him and telling him to stop talking in courts, to the idea that renaming your Instagram profile gets around court orders, to just loaning your car out to friends.

Location: 3rd and Union. The Joseph Vance Building

Seattle Police locked down the grocery store and the corner of 15th and John after a reported exchange of gunfire at the Capitol Hill Safeway early Sunday evening.

No victims were found at the scene.

25 minutes later, a 911 caller reported a male with a gunshot wound to the leg at 12th and Fir.

Police were called to the reported 15th and John shootout just after 5 PM as people in the parking lot and customers inside the store scrambled for cover.

SPD taped off a large area around the parking lot and Williams Place Park where they reported finding multiple shell casings and at least one unspent round.

According to East Precinct radio updates, the shootout involved at least two armed assailants with one reportedly fleeing northbound on a rental scooter.

About 25 minutes after the Safeway call, police were called to 12th and Fir where a male was reported with a gunshot wound to the leg.

Seattle Fire was at the scene to treat the victim and transport him to the hospital.

It was not immediately clear if the incidents were separate shootings though at least one 911 caller described a group of possible suspects leaving the 12th and Fir scene.

There were no reported arrests.

According to a radio update, Seattle Police were investigating the possibility a Glock handgun reported stolen earlier in the day was used in the Capitol Hill shooting.
