Watch out for Greenlake spikes
Seattle, what is wrong with you lately? Punching old gardeners, robbing banks, and now burying spikes at the bottom of Greenlake? This is not cool. So far, divers have found 41 machine sharpened spikes in the south end of Greenlake, buried with the pointy ends up [Times]. They may have been there for a couple of months, and they could only have been put there to hurt people.
You’re not supposed to be walking around in the water down there, but one injury has been reported by a wader who stepped on one of the spikes, so clearly some people are not following directions. Anyone with information about who would want to stab people in the feet should call the Seattle police.

I think what’s most disturbing about this is that someone went to a fair bit of effort to make and place those spikes in the water. Someone who smashes a bottle in the bike lane is just an impulsive a-hole, but underwater spike placement seems almost Unabomber-ish. Yikes.
