Councilwoman dies in leap from bridge

 

Kay Lasco's colleagues in SeaTac city government express shock at her suicide

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

 

SEATAC -- SeaTac City Councilwoman Kay Lasco died early yesterday morning after jumping off the Aurora Bridge.

 

Lasco, 53, had been a councilwoman since January 2002. She was also director of the Northwest Washington Women's Business Center in Everett. The center provides counseling and technical training to female entrepreneurs and business owners in Snohomish, Skagit, Island, Kitsap, San Juan and Whatcom counties.

 

About 2:15 a.m. yesterday, a woman jumped off the east side of the Seattle span, according to the Seattle Police Department. The King County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Lasco's identity and found the cause of death to be freshwater drowning.

 

SeaTac police Chief Scott Somers notified city leaders early yesterday.

 

"It came as just a total shock," said SeaTac City Manager Bruce Rayburn, who recalled having seen Lasco at last Tuesday's council meeting.

 

He said she seemed like an "upbeat, outgoing individual that evening."

 

Councilman Gene Fisher said Lasco's father and a close friend had suffered health problems and had been hospitalized numerous times. Fisher said Lasco was particularly upset about the friend's problems after stomach bypass surgery.

 

City leaders remembered Lasco yesterday as a good listener who championed issues of public safety, youth, and especially human services.

 

"She has always been interested in different aspects of human services," said Councilwoman Terry Anderson.

 

"She served very well and seemed to be very knowledgeable."

 

A native of King County, Lasco graduated from Chief Sealth High School and the University of Washington.

 

She is survived by her son, Charlie Alan Lasco.

You say there ain't no use in livin'

It's all a waste of time

'N you wanna throw your life away, well

People that's just fine

Go ahead on 'n get it over with then

Find you a bridge 'n take a jump

Just make sure you do it right the first time

'Cause nothin's worse than a Suicide

Chump

You say there ain't no light a-shinin'

Through the bushes up ahead

'N we're all gonna be so sorry

When we find out you are dead

Go head on and get it over with then

Find you a bridge 'n take a jump

Just make sure you do it right the first

time

'Cause nothin's worse than a Suicide

Chump

Now maybe you're scared of jumpin'

'N poison makes you sick

'N you want a little attention

'N you need it pretty quick

Don't wanna mess your face up

Or we won't know if it's you

Aw there's just so much to worry about

Now what you gonna do?

Go head on 'n get it over with then

Go head on 'n get it over with then

Go head on 'n get it over with then

Go head on 'n get it over with then

You're on the bridge;

Scared to leap,

But a girl walks over

To take a peep...

She says: "DON'T DO IT!"

But wouldn't you know...

The girl got a head

Like a buffalo

With a little red hair

All over the top

An' her breath would make the

Traffic stop

She says "I LOVE YOU...

BUT FIRST, LET'S EAT!"

And all you can say as you run down the

street

is...

 

 

Jumbo, go away

Jumbo, go away

Jumbo leave me alone

Get your head off my bone

I wanna go home

("I'm hungry")

Jumbo lighten up

Jumbo lighten up

Jumbo give me a break

Lighten up on my snake

That's all I can take

(Robbie take me to Greek Town!)

It seems I can't explain

The way I feel about you

You just don't understand

You're from Kalamazoo...

You got to realize

Our little romance deal

Will not materialize

Into a thing that you'd call REAL...

(I think I have worms...)

Jumbo gotta go

Jumbo gotta go

Jumbo better get back

Or your eye will get black

When I give you a smack

No, Denny, don't hit me...

Jumbo don't you cry

Jumbo don't you cry

Jumbo this is good-bye

I ain't gonna lie

So wash up your pie

Wash up your pie

(There are three things that smell like

fish!)

Wash up your pie

(One of them is fish...)

Wash up your pie

(The other two...)

Wash up your pie

(Are growing on you...)
