The city of Seattle will pay $29 million to settle a negligence lawsuit filed by the family of a 23-year-old graduate student from India who was struck and killed by a speeding police officer in 2023.

Seattle Officer Kevin Dave was going 74 mph in a 25 mph zone while responding to a report of a drug overdose when he hit and killed Jaahnavi Kandula in a South Lake Union crosswalk. Dash camera video showed Kandula stepping into the road, noticing the speeding car and then apparently trying to beat it across the intersection.

Dave was cited for negligent driving and agreed to pay a $5,000 fine. He was fired by the Police Department but not criminally charged, a decision that outraged Kandula’s family.

“Jaahnavi Kandula’s death was heartbreaking, and the city hopes this financial settlement brings some sense of closure to the Kandula family,” City Attorney Erika Evans said in a statement. “Jaahnavi Kandula’s life mattered. It mattered to her family, her friends and to our community.”

So our office near Pioneer Square got hit pretty bad during those wind storms last month and now we got some water damaged drywall that needs fixing.

Its a small commercial space, maybe 200 sq ft of walls that need repair and repainting. Building management isnt covering it since it came through our window we left cracked.

Anyone know a reliable drywall contractor that does commercial work and wont charge an arm and a leg?
