Vandal destroys iconic Leavenworth park with pick up truck

[@BallardBaller]

Amazing the guy still isn't in jail... I hope the business's file a civil suit on him.

[@tlynn9819]

Disgusting that this person lacks empathy and has so little respect for the area and town that is so welcoming to everybody. Heartbreaking to think of all the excited little children disappointed that they won't be able to experience the sledding area. Not to mention the work and expense of repairing this damage.

I can't imagine how much income that yahoo cost the ENTIRE town and the county in tax revenue. Some of those stores only break even during Christmas. That store selling sleds has taken a bad hit. Only non-locals would screw things up. I see there is snow on top of the cab which means it had been parked somewhere. I'm sure some forensics person knows how old that snow is by the level. Maybe someone got a picture with it stationary in front of someone's house and can find out where it had been parked.... It's gonna suck if it turns out to be gang-banger wannabes from Tacoma. Leavenworth is small, someone knows something. In the least,they'll probably get nailed with civil lawsuits. I can see why no one went to confront them, who wants to take on a metal killing machine. Probably with an impaired driver. Leavenworth only has 71 salaried employees. I don't see Chief of Police listed anywhere. Maybe it's Sheriff's Department?. Even rent-a-cops wouldn't have endangered their life.

[@pleasejustdobetter]

I mean I don't think it ruins the Holiday, despite being really reckless and rude. No mention of the cost of repair, which yes there is. Heavy Vehicles on wet ground, speeding around, not sure if it will need grading / resurfacing leveling, but likely more dirt and sod and or seed put in and the equipment to do so. Confident theres footags with more information to catch them. But who knows if thats the legal owner of the car.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

So only the grass was damaged, or were some Christmas decorations damaged as well? Because if it's just the grass why does the entire park need to be closed?

[@opalanuitchoutte3038]

Because little kids can't sled in mud.🙄🙄

[@joewoodchuck3824]

@opalanuitchoutte3038 It looked like a flat area of grass. Sleds need an incline to slide down.

[@linh9768]

Town not closed. Just a very little portion of the park area…and, Had no snow anyways. Nothing else damaged. Dumb reporting.

[@bradsterley9157]

What kind of donuts the sprinkle kind or glaze

[@linh9768]

Relax people. I live here. Yes the truck made -more -mud. However, it’s very warm and barely any snow in the park anyhow after already THOUSANDS of sleds, so no snow anyways on the tiny hill itself, and truck did not go there. Getting a foot of snow ❄️ tomorrow. All is FINE.

I'm there now nothing is closed! kids are still sledding sure the grass was damaged but it gets damaged every year from the kids sledding! No worries the city of greed is in full swing costing a senior handycap person $100 for overnight parking and then the handycap senior had to hobble in the snow for 1/2 mile to get to downtown! Leavenworth cares not for seniors or handcap! Why should any one care if an idiot does a donut in the snow but I'm sure they will get more than their moneys worth making an example of that poor dumb kid!

True, it’s 0:17 damaged every year… city always has to pay to replant, refurbish, etc. just stupid hyped- up non news. Sorry you had to pay and walk so far.

What would you do go stand in front of his truck and tell him to stop? People are quick to pull out a gun today. I've been a concealed weapons carrier for many decades but like many logical citizens I'm not jeopardizing my freedom over somebody committing property damage. That's the job of Law enforcement.

what would you have done? so easy to be critical ....no body was injured , but the drivers brain cells

[@WalkiTalki]

In this state the police refuse to respond. Our police are Sheriffs and the Cheif is a person named Patti Cole Tindall. She is hired, not elected. Her boss is the executive of one county in our state, King County. Both of them have multiple times over the years refused to enforce laws based on how they feel at the moment. With zero federal oversight these two have destroyed all respect of the law in this state.
