ONE LESS CEO, MANY MORE TO GO – Disturbing Message Displayed on Highway Sign Near Lake Union in Seattle
A troubling message appeared on a portable electronic road sign near Lake Union in Seattle early Thursday morning, prompting inquiries into its origin and intent.
The sign, positioned along the northbound lanes of Highway 99 near Dexter Avenue, displayed the message: “ONE LESS CEO, MANY MORE TO GO.”
Authorities are working to determine who programmed the sign and whether it belongs to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT), or a private contractor.
The Aurora Bridge, near the location of the sign, is a major thoroughfare, with an average of nearly 62,000 vehicles crossing daily.
The message has raised concerns, particularly because it appears shortly after the high-profile shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last week.
Investigators in New York have linked Luigi Mangione to Thompson’s death using evidence, including a firearm recovered in Mangione’s possession and fingerprints at the scene.
While authorities have not publicly connected the sign’s message to the New York City shooting, its content has sparked speculation about potential motives or connections.
Law enforcement agencies are treating the incident seriously, given its possible implications for public safety and the heightened sensitivity surrounding Thompson’s murder.
The investigation into the unauthorized programming of the sign is ongoing. Officials urge anyone with information about the incident to contact local authorities or Crime Stoppers.
