Skate Like a Girl picks up the pieces after Seattle bus smashes into skate park

Everything was "normal" at Seattle's Skate Like a Girl. Loud music was playing. People were chatting. Others were skating and filming as they rolled through the indoor skate park.

"All of a sudden the whole building shakes, the lights kind of sway above us and there's dust everywhere and it smells like dirt. We're all looking at the same spot at the wall, and the bus just kind of appeared out of nowhere," said Spirit Miska, Skate Like a Girl's Seattle program manager.

On Wednesday, Jan. 24, a King County Metro bus smashed through the wall of the skate park, shortly after a car turned in front of it and cut the bus off. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

It’s hard enough to make a safe space for female and non-binary athletes in sports that are typically dominated by men. That’s what Skate Like a Girl tries to do. It’s a non-profit that teaches skateboarding to whoever wants to learn. Making that safe space means finding the funding, the location, the instructors, and the equipment. At the moment, the bus accident has hampered this mission.

The pictures and video from the accident are stunning; a King County Metro bus jutting through the side of the building, leaving swaying metal and exposed insulation. The bus's right tire hangs over a skate ramp.

The bus remains in the same spot, sticking partially inside the building. It’s unclear yet if removing it would be structurally safe. This leaves Skate Like a Girl in a bind.

"As of right now, nothing has been solidified," Chapter Director Finn Bradberry said. "We've moved one of our programs, a two week long high school program up to All Together Skatepark in Fremont. But other than that, the programs are just on pause until we're able to find a space that we can host them."
