Seattle weighs city-installed barriers after residents block roads to deter shootings

A series of streets barricaded by neighbors to prevent gun violence outside their homes may remain blocked if Seattle city officials agree to install their own barriers, potentially reinitiating a program that began in the summer of 2024.

Prostitution, gangs, and gun violence have been colliding along Seattle’s infamous Aurora Avenue in a dangerous display of recurring shootings.

Gun battles tied to turf wars have sent bullets down side streets, striking people’s homes and coming dangerously close to young children.
