SEATTLE - The reward has grown to $105,000 for information leading to the arrest and charges of the suspect who killed a Seattle Police officer Halloween night.

Crime Stoppers is receiving money from corporate and private donors. Officials say the reward continues to grow.

In the meantime, a memorial procession is being planned for Officer Timothy Brenton on Friday, November 6.

There will be about 1,000 to 1,500 vehicles departing at 9:00 a.m. from the University of Washington and will travel to Key Arena where the service is being held.

Drivers should be aware that during the procession, other traffic will not be allowed on the route and will not be allowed to cross it. The procession is expected to last 3 hours from 9:00am-12:00pm.

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) advises travelers to expect severe congestion near its path, especially as mourners are also anticipated along its course.

The memorial procession will use the following route: begins at the University of Washington's E-1 parking lot; south on Montlake Blvd NE to 24th Ave E; south on 24th to 23rd Ave E; south on 23rd to E Madison St; west on Madison to E Pine St; west on Pine to Broadway; north on Broadway to E Denny Way; west on Denny to 1st Ave N; north on 1st to Key Arena. Staging will begin in the E-1 parking lot (north of Husky Stadium on Montlake Blvd NE) beginning at approximately 8:00 a.m.

Parking will not be allowed along the route and temporary "No Parking" signs will be emplaced. Officers from the Seattle Police Department will manage all intersections for the procession.

1st Avenue N (Denny to Mercer) and Mercer Street (1st to 5th avenues N) will be closed when the procession arrives at those locations. Roads around the Seattle Center will also be closed to traffic, to include parking, prior to the event.

The public memorial service at Key Arena will begin at 1:00 p.m., with doors opening at 11:00 a.m. No formal procession is planned after the ceremony. All questions concerning the procession route and traffic impacts should be directed to the Seattle Department of Transportation.
