Seattle
Seattle police Thursday night arrested a suspect they believe was responsible for the slaying of a man whose body was found at a downtown Seattle construction site earlier this week.
The suspect, a man in his 20s, was arrested by Seattle police about 7 p.m. in Federal Way. He was questioned by detectives Thursday evening and was expected to be booked into the King County Jail for investigation of murder, police said.
Police had been investigating a possible link between the victim found at the construction site, in the 900 block of 7th Avenue, and a man who died Tuesday in an explosion at an east Pierce County home. Detectives now say they are confident the man involved in the explosion was not connected to the man found at the construction site.
Carnation
Death-penalty decision delayed
The King County Prosecutor's Office has delayed a decision on whether it will seek the death penalty against two people charged with killing six members of a Carnation family last year.
Michele Kristen Anderson and Joseph McEnroe each have pleaded not guilty to six counts of aggravated murder. The crime is punishable by either death or life in prison without the possibility of release.
Prosecutors had planned to announce May 5 whether they would seek capital punishment. But on Thursday they extended the death-penalty filing period to Aug. 4.
The couple are accused of fatally shooting Anderson's parents, Wayne, 60, and Judith Anderson, 61; her brother, Scott; his wife, Erica; and the couple's two children, Olivia, 5, and Nathan, 3, inside the elder Andersons' Carnation home.
Police say the slayings apparently stemmed, in part, from a dispute Michele Anderson was having with her brother over money. According to court documents, Michele Anderson told police she was tired "of everybody stepping on her," and she had decided if her family did not start showing her respect by Dec. 24, she would kill them.
The case will be the first in which Prosecutor Dan Satterberg will consider seeking the death penalty. Satterberg was elected in November to succeed longtime prosecutor Norm Maleng, who died last year.

Streetcar involved in fourth collision
For the fourth time since the South Lake Union streetcar went into service, a car has sustained minor damage in a collision.
Shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday, the red streetcar, one of two in service on the line at the time, was traveling west on Valley Street when it was involved in a bumper-bender with a car that exited the Center for Wooden Boats parking lot at the south end of the lake and ran a stop sign, according to Seattle Transportation Department spokesman Rick Sheridan.
The streetcar was traveling about 10 mph when it collided with the car, Sheridan said. There were passengers on the streetcar, but no injuries were reported.
The streetcar's right front bumper was damaged, as was the car's front bumper. The streetcar was out of service for about a half-hour while the detachable bumper was removed. The streetcar was returned to service without it.
Sheridan said a replacement bumper would be attached after the red car was retired for the day. Damage to the streetcar was estimated at less than $1,000.
