The city of Tukwila has agreed to pay $100,000 to settle a civil-rights lawsuit filed by a man who was bitten by a police dog, repeatedly punched and tased during a 2014 arrest after officers found a man yelling and dancing in a freight yard. The city has also agreed to pay Linson Tara’s attorney fees in an amount to be determined later by U.S. District Judge John Coughenour.
