DOC, Law Enforcement Searching For Less Restrictive Alternative Resident

TUMWATER – The Department of Corrections and local law enforcement are looking for Damion Blevins. The 33-year-old, who is six feet tall and weighs 270 pounds, was last seen Monday near King Street Station in Seattle before he removed his GPS ankle monitor.

Blevins is a resident of a Less Restrictive Alternative (LRA) in Tukwila. LRAs are community residential facilities that offer courtordered treatment for Sexually Violent Predators in a setting less restrictive than the Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island. The program is run by the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), but LRA residents are monitored for compliance of their supervision requirements by DOC.

Blevins was most recently convicted of second-degree assault in 2017 and civilly committed to the Special Commitment Center in 2023.

If you see Blevins, do not approach him. Please call 911 with information or DOC headquarters at (360) 480-2696.
