If you would like to take in a sunny day in Seattle, think about the Steven J. Underwood Memorial Park (Plaza). The baseball fields are always busy with kids and adults. Kind of an old fashioned outdoor outing for the family. While there, you might like to do some caching - geocaching, that is. Geocaching is a free real-world outdoor treasure hunt. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using a smartphone or GPS, and can then share their experiences on line. Read more »

Wednesday, 05/07/03, was the 9th Annual Washington State Peace Officers’ Ceremony in Seattle. In addition to the ceremony, there was a dedication and viewing of the new Seattle Police Memorial Wall inside headquarters at 610 – 5th Avenue. In attendance were members of the Brown, Cochran, LaVey, and Underwood families. The pleasant weather also brought out many constituents of the downtown community, who paused respectfully and picked up red, white, and blue ribbons to wear.

The Brown family honored Deputy Mark William Brown, King County Sheriff's Department, EOW 02/27/99. The Cochran family was there in tribute to Deputy Sheriff Richard S Cochran II, King County Sheriff's Department, EOW 05/22/91. The parents of Sergeant Stacy Edward Levay, USAF Security Police, US (Guam), EOW 01/01/92, honored his memory by their presence, and the Underwood family paid credit to Master Police Officer Steven J. Underwood, Des Moines Police Department, EOW 03/07/01.
