picture from last year

Andrei Peter Strejac, a homeless man that was frequenting the neighborhood from the fall of last year through Spring of this year, has been seen again in the neighborhood, neighbors report.

Andrei has been seen walking on 48th Avenue towards Sand Point Way and also walking around the Park. Neighbors report he is much "slender and more subdued".

Andre reportedly told one pedestrian in the park recently, that he was looking for his mother, and he didn't know where she lived or how to reach her. 

   

The Laurelhurst Blog posted about this individual in September of last year, who has reportedly been known to chase people and act in an aggressive manner.

In November, 2010 Andrei followed a North Seattle man home and tried to steal his bag from the man's porch. Andrei was charged with attempted second-degree robbery.  Here is a record of Andrei being booked by King County Department of Detention in March 2016.

Last year, in the early spring and summer, Andrei was regularly seen walking on the streets around Laurelhurst Elementary School and  usually walking around Laurelhurst Park in the early evening.

The Laurelhurst Blog received numerous reports from neighbors last year, one in particular who reported being chased by Andrei to her house in Laurelhurst all the way from the Burke-Gilman Trail.

Other reports were received from neighbors of being apprehensive of encounters with Andrei while in the Park.

Last  summer, Andrei was frequently seen sleeping in the Park near the Tennis courts, as well as sleeping amongst the bushes by the garbage enclosure near the Community Center.
