A police response along the waterfront path at Lincoln Park drew attention over the past hour, with officers visible near the shoreline route through one of West Seattle's busiest parks.

The response was not tied to a crime. Officers were looking for someone reported to be in crisis and found that person there.

At a park with steady foot traffic and a long waterfront path, any visible police activity can quickly look more serious than it is from a distance. In this case, the response was a crisis check rather than a criminal investigation.

For people heading through the park, the main point is that no criminal incident was reported in connection with the response.
