Neighbor Reports Being Accosted By Nearby Apartment Resident On Talaris Property Taking Pictures

We received this rather disturbing email:

I was exiting the property Friday night,September 19th, after dark on the north end with my daughter's dog on a leash. I was being followed by a woman who was taking pictures of me. I stopped and pulled my phone to take her picture.

After she pointed her rear end at me and made mocking gestures, I kept snapping pictures when she then came running at me swinging, yelling at me about the dog in a heavy eastern European accent, Russian state perhaps.

She was swearing and very agitated.  I warned her not to strike or touch me (she was swinging when she approached) as it would constitute an assault.

She told me she had called the Talaris property owners and that she was taking pictures of people with dogs on their property. She lives in the Laurelhurst apartment complex adjacent to the property on NE 45th Street. And she is often in a grassy area at the edge of the property with her cat.

The woman is mid-50s. gray/brown hair. 5'7' and she has a large cat she is outside with all of the time on the north edge of the property-- no leash. 

I sincerely hope that the property owners are not instructing or otherwise authorizing tenants of their (apartment) property to follow, photograph, engage, and physically threaten neighbors.   

I believe she has been in communication with the Talaris property owners/representatives and has a phone number to call.  

I would say that Talaris representatives have at least encouraged this woman to do this. She was on the phone right away after I noticed her taking my picture (as did a short, thin man in a Porsche last week).
