Any time I hear of a missing person last known to be at or near a bridge, I worry about their mental state. I hope Garrett is located safely soon.

The bridge in this photo looks different than the one posted above, but it's more recent (2018) and reports that there have been 2 suicide jumps from the Blackjack Creek Bridge.

@azure I think the one you posted is the correct one, as it's at Lund St. The one I posted I think is Bay Street? Thanks for finding that. The Lund St Bridge is a lot more worrisome than the pedestrian walkway...
