Sunday's steady pulse: 30 calls, downtown focus, early-morning DUIs

Nearly three-quarters of yesterday's calls were non-violent, a ratio that reflects the city's typical Sunday balance. The Lettered Streets drew nine incidents—warrant service, DUI enforcement, and a felony assault investigation—while Cornwall Park's five calls centered on retail theft and domestic disputes. Birchwood, Sunnyland, and Meridian each logged two incidents, and five neighborhoods saw just one call apiece, keeping resources distributed across the city.

As you move into Monday, expect downtown corridors and retail zones to see their usual weekday uptick. The early-morning DUI pattern from yesterday suggests continued vigilance overnight, and the afternoon theft cluster around Bellis Fair may repeat as stores restock and traffic picks up. If you're heading out tonight, the Lettered Streets and Lakeway corridor remain the areas where officers are most likely to be active.

Yesterday's mix leaned heavily toward administrative and property matters. The eight "Other" calls—warrant arrests, court-order violations, civil disputes, and lost property—reflect the steady paperwork side of policing. Malicious mischief and trespass incidents added six more, while theft calls clustered around retail corridors. Assault cases, though present, remained a smaller slice of the day's workload, and the single narcotics arrest came bundled with a warrant service downtown.

Geography tells the rest of the story. The Lettered Streets saw warrant arrests and DUI stops between Holly and Lakeway, while Cornwall Park and Bellis Fair dealt with retail theft and burglary at big-box stores. Welfare checks touched Sunnyland and Cornwall Park, and a trespass arrest unfolded at a Puget neighborhood park around midday. The day's rhythm moved from late-night enforcement downtown to afternoon retail calls, then back to evening disturbances.

Yesterday's tempo built gradually through the morning, peaked mid-morning, and scattered evenly into the evening.

The busiest stretch ran from 9 to 10 AM, when five calls—including a warrant arrest and narcotics charge on Holly Street, plus an assault report at WWU—kept officers occupied. Another cluster appeared at 5 PM, with theft reports at Bellis Fair and Sunset Drive. The overnight hours saw two DUI arrests, one at 2 AM on Cornwall Avenue and another at 2:42 AM in the same corridor. By contrast, the midday window from 11 AM to 1 PM stayed relatively quiet, with just two trespass arrests and a civil matter.
