- Greenbelt rescue: Seattle Fire was called in to help rescue a man reported down in a thicket of blackberry bushes late Thursday night in the greenbelt below St. Mark’s.

According to Seattle Fire radio dispatches, the man was stuck amidst the spiky blackberries and had to be cut free before crews could safely remove him for evaluation and treatment.
