Another day, another dangerous accident on Rainier Avenue South. We’ve run several stories this week about the concerns over safety on Rainier, and it looks like it will be capped off with yet another story of a vehicle crashing into a building. We’re hearing that a car ran right into Rainier Beauty Supplies at Rainier & Orcas:
