area. Rather than heading through usual trail, it's a calming ambiance tall, leafy trees casting shadows over this sturdy bench. It's the same spot where a 25 year old woman stopped by for a peaceful moment Wednesday morning, before resuming her walk until she spotted a man gaze fixed on her as he walked by and sat across from her. He said then that chair and trying to look at me through the sliding things, just like not stopping. So creepy. So weird with the nagging sense of uneasiness. She got up and walked away. But she wasn't alone. He started walking behind me so fast too. Like. But insane things I don't. I don't understand what he was saying because I was so nervous. This was just the beginning of the unsettling and relentless pursuit. The young woman says she headed for a busy thoroughfare, hoping that would stop him. As she picked up the pace, he returned to what she recalls was a white, unmarked van, hopped in and followed her as she began calling her boyfriend. He looked at me so creepy, so crazy. Frightened for her safety, she looped back to the park, hoping to run into someone. Unfortunately, the alleged stalker was there at every turn. Following her every move with precision. I was hiding behind the cars like this, and he was just, trying to follow me and seeing to, you know, trying to. Trying to find me. Yeah, trying to find me. Yes. Like a game of cat and mouse. She was close to avoiding him, but he spotted her once more, returning yet again. Contra me, Vida. She tells me she feels like this was an attempt on her life. If her boyfriend hadn't arrived, she firmly believes a man would have grabbed her as he was already getting out of the van after she jumped in the car, she says the white van sped off through a neighboring area. A resident captured this on their home surveillance seconds after Sammamish police have confirmed that this situation is under investigation. But bottom line is this woman is now urging everyone in the community to be on high alert, especially parents, and asking you to have those tough conversations so kids are prepared
