• A convicted felon eluded state and King County police officers for more than 2-1/2 hours July 24, as police and a dog attempted to flush him out of his hiding place near the Cascade Golf Course. A King County police dog located the man, Marty J. Johnson, 29, Tacoma, at about 6 p.m., hiding under the deck of a South Fork Snoqualmie riverside chalet. A Washington State Patrol officer had attempted to pull Johnson over after determining he was speeding along Interstate 90 eastbound, ear exit 31 at 3:25 p.m., but Johnson, driving a stolen black Jeep Cherokee, fled, turning at Cedar Falls Road and driving onto the golf course before running from the car toward the river.

The left-handed senior relief pitcher, who plays for the University of Washington and hails from Fall City, hadn’t stepped on a ball field in two months and didn’t expect too much. So when he pitched a no-hitter in the second game of a Western International League baseball double-header against Coquitlam, he was quite surprised.
