On a summer Sunday in Seattle, what began as a communal celebration of food and neighborhood life was shattered by gunfire at the Armory inside Seattle Center. Two people lost their lives and five others were wounded — among them a two-year-old child — when violence broke out around 6 p.m. during the Bite of Seattle festival. It is a reminder of how swiftly the ordinary can become the unthinkable, and how communities must reckon with grief even before the facts are fully known.
