SEATTLE — Gan Hao Li rode his bike every day, sometimes two or three times. And every day on his way out the door, he'd smile and wave to Marena Ostbo, the manager of Hirabayashi Place in Seattle's Chinatown International District. Wednesday, May 10, was no different.
"He stopped, smiled, said, 'Good morning, enjoy the sunshine,' and left," Ostbo said.
Except this time, Li, 73, didn't return. He was killed around 10:30 that morning in Sodo, when a Jeep driver pulled out of a parking lot on Fourth Avenue South and South Holgate Street and hit him, according to the Seattle Police Department. Li died of his injuries later that day. Police are still investigating.
