Skateboarder identified in double fatality at Alki Beach

Seattle Times staff reporter

A 21-year-old skateboarder who died Thursday night after he was struck by a motorcyclist at Alki Beach has been identified as Travis Gracey of Burien, King County medical investigators said.

Gracey and his roller-skating relatives were in a bike path just before 10 p.m. when Leon Coley Jr., 37, apparently lost control of his motorcycle, Seattle police said. Coley's mother, Cecilia Coley, said her son lived in Vancouver, B.C., worked at Boeing and had been riding motorcycles for about two years.

Witnesses told police Coley was speeding. Both died at Harborview Medical Center.
