Loved Ones Remember Washington Trooper’s ‘Infectious’ Positivity

Trooper Tara-Marysa Guting, the 34th Washington State Patrol officer killed in the line of duty, is honored in a family-focused memorial without a law enforcement processional.

  • Trooper Tara-Marysa Guting will be honored in Tacoma earlier this month with law enforcement honors for Badge #720 and livestreams by TVW and KING 5.
  • On Dec. 19, Guting was struck and killed while investigating a collision on State Route 509, with the initial driver cooperating and a second pickup's driver remaining unaccounted for, according to authorities.
  • Guting served in the Army National Guard as a signals intelligence analyst before joining the Washington State Patrol, with photos at the memorial showing her, husband Timothy, and their four pets.
  • WSO Director of Public Affairs Chris Loftis highlighted seven incidents this past week and officials urged drivers to slow down, move over, buckle up and never drive impaired around emergency vehicle flashing lights.
  • State officials said storms and flooding have contributed to dangerous road conditions, linking recent damage to a spike in December incidents involving Washington State Patrol troopers, with 25 vehicle-related line-of-duty deaths long ago.
