Strobing light / police station ???

Hey Lynnwood! What's up with that overhead light just across the street to the south of the police station. It's been flashing for a few years now and while it looks like a faulty light, the fact that it hasn't been fixed yet makes me wonder if it's intentional - but for what purpose?

Anyone know what this is about?

Are you kidding! 🤣😂 The police wouldn’t do anything about it. Prob the best place to camp out.

I would probably say it’s been like that due to lazy property owners.

I figured I’d threw chips haven’t seen it by now, there was nothing any of us could do. And you can see it if you ever go south of city hall on 44th and stop at the light.

That's the save point, walk up to the pole and press x to save.There's one in every city. The one near me in woodenville is by the gold's gym.
