Washington Goes Hands Free
Starting July 1, Washington drivers must use a hands free device when using their cell phone while driving. Drivers will face a $124 ticket for violating the ban which is considered a secondary offense.


Some bank robbery statistics for the U.S & Washington State:

The FBI's Burroughs said Tuesday's bank robbery was the 74th in the state since January. During the same period last year there were 86, Burroughs said.

Washington state has historically had among the most bank robberies in the nation, reaching an all-time high of 357 in 1998, the FBI said.

However, the numbers have declined in recent years, and in 2007 the state's total -- 176 -- was the lowest in 20 years.

By Jennifer Sullivan, Seattle Times news researcher Miyoko Wolf and staff reporter Leslie Jones contributed to this report.

About one and a half hour ago, there was a shooting right below the building where im working at now. The polices opened up gunfire with the robbers from a bank robbery near by. This is the first time since I came to the U.S that I heard so many gunshooting going on near me. Kinda scary when I first see all the polices surrarounding by and carried guns in their arms, just we know that we are safe coz outside people can't enter this building without permission since all the doors are being locked at all time.. but it is kind of funny when most of the people in my office stand up on the desk and try to looking down for what's going on until the manager order them to stay away from the window. The whole thing didn't last for about an hour, until now there still many police cars on the street outside, but everything is ok now.

One robber died, one wound, and police also caught the other guy, there are 3 of them in total. I think they are very stupid to get into the downtown area.. coz the security in this area is better than many other places near by since it is the financial district.
