We’re now a city where gunfire is mere background noise

The death of the International District’s Donnie Chin is shocking. But with the level of gunfire in this city, something like it was inevitable.

On the street where Donnie Chin died, bullet holes pock the walls and windows near where his car came to a final rest. The small crowd that gathered the other night gaped at these holes, trying to read them like tea leaves.

It’s shocking, people said. It’s the worst thing to happen in Seattle this year. A bolt out of the blue.

A man showed cellphone pictures of Chin’s damaged car. It looked to have been riddled by multiple bullets.
