Women say neighbor spied through window; police tell them to fix their blinds

Police told two Queen Anne women to get their blinds fixed after the women reported seeing one of their neighbors looking at them through the window with binoculars.

The neighbor, whose wife told officers she should have called police on the girls for "putting on a show" by walking around naked or in sexy lingerie, was told by officers responding to the call to put the binoculars away.

Seattle police responded to the call on Queen Anne Avenue North on June 22 when one of the girls reported seeing the neighbor looking at her with binoculars.

She also told police she had seen the man looking into her window with the aid of a flashlight.

Responding officers at the women's apartment said they saw the neighbor shut the blinds of his window when they looked outside.

The man, and his wife, acknowledged they had seen the women through their windows.

The wife said it was hard not to notice because one of the women was always "putting on a show."

The women said the blinds were broken but that they would ask their landlord to make repairs.
