Then she changed her mind and asked the officer to get her ID out of the wallet. The officer found an ID for another woman and several credit cards with different names on them in the wallet. The woman said they belonged to friends.

Harassment leaves woman fearing for life

A Lynnwood woman came to Renton City Hall looking for help Nov. 1.

When the granddaughter’s husband found out about the plans, he threatened to kill himself and the child.

When the woman tried to fix the situation, both parties threatened her.
