The Taiwanese Association of Greater Seattle is offering a $6,000 reward for information resulting in arrest in the death of Michael Wang, a Shoreline resident who was killed in a hit-and-run while bicycling home from work last July.

“Our organization was saddened by Michael’s death,” association board member John Chou said in a press release. “We just wanted to do something to bring awareness to the case and generate leads.”

The Taiwanese Association of Greater Seattle set a goal of $2,000 for the reward but tripled that with donations from its members and people of Taiwanese descent around the country, according to the Seattle Police Department.

Wang, whose father is a member of the association, was riding north in the bike lane along Dexter Avenue North after leaving work in South Lake Union. According to a witness, an SUV hit Wang when it tried to turn left from Dexter onto Thomas Street.

Police are continuing to investigate the case. Anyone with information can call Det. Bacon at 206.684.8932.

The undefeated Shorewood Thunderbirds start what they hope is a run to a state boys soccer title tonight at Shoreline Stadium.

The T-Birds will take on Chief Sealth in the first round of the tournament. The game starts at 7:30 p.m.

This is the first trip to the playoffs in four years for Shorewood. In their last appearance in 2008, as a 4A school, they beat Thomas Jefferson in a shootout before losing in the quarterfinals to Todd Beamer in an amazing 15-14 shootout.

It has been a long time since Shorewood won a state title in boys soccer. Their one crown was won in 1978 in the old AAA (now 4A) classification, with a 2nd place finish in 1980. Their one trophy as a 3A (formerly AA) school was in 1987, when they finished fourth.

This is the first trip to the state tournament for the Seahawks, who play in the Metro League.

The winner of tonight's game hosts the winner of the Bainbridge/Hazen game on Saturday.

A Shoreline woman has a new ramp to use to get in and out of her home, thanks to volunteers who built it on Saturday.

The volunteers, from the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish County, built the ramp for Jan Lunak as part of their Rampathon event. That's where contractors and builders volunteer to build ramps for people who need them to get in and out of their homes.

Lunak, who has multiple sclerosis, said that she wasn't able to get her power wheelchair outside and even had trouble getting her walker down the step at her door.

Over 20 people turned out for the build, and by time they were done on Saturday afternoon, Lunak finally had a ramp she could use to get in and out of her home. The volunteers were led by Joseph Irons of Iron Brothers Construction, while materials were donated by Home Depot and Plywood Supply.
