  • Rainy Morning in Seattle, Transit Fare Hike, Amazon Hiring, Affordable Housing Opens, Kraken Fall to Stars

    Rainy Morning in Seattle, Transit Fare Hike, Amazon Hiring, Affordable Housing Opens, Kraken Fall to Stars
    2025/04/01
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.

    We're waking up to a wet start in the Emerald City, with heavy rain expected throughout the morning. The National Weather Service warns of potential thunderstorms later today, so keep those umbrellas handy. Despite the rain, temperatures will reach a mild 57 degrees.

    Breaking news this morning as the Seattle City Council has approved a controversial measure to increase public transit funding. The decision, made late last night, will raise bus fares by 50 cents starting next month. Council member Bob Kettle says the increase is necessary to support expanded service hours and new routes in underserved neighborhoods.

    In other news, tech giant Amazon has announced plans to add 1,500 new jobs to its Seattle headquarters over the next year. The company says it's looking for software engineers and data scientists, with salaries starting around $135,000. This comes as welcome news after recent layoffs in the tech sector.

    Over in the University District, residents are celebrating the grand opening of a new affordable housing complex. The 12-story building on 12th Avenue will provide homes for 200 low-income families and individuals. Mayor Bruce Harrell cut the ribbon this morning, calling it a "vital step in addressing our city's housing crisis."

    In sports, the Seattle Kraken fell to the Dallas Stars 3-1 last night at Climate Pledge Arena. Despite the loss, Kaapo Kakko scored his career-high 41st point of the season. The team hits the road for a three-game trip starting tomorrow.

    On a lighter note, the Woodland Park Zoo is welcoming a new addition to its family. A baby giraffe was born early this morning, and zookeepers say both mother and calf are doing well. The public will be able to see the newborn starting next week.

    In public safety news, Seattle police are investigating a shooting that occurred near 26th Avenue Southwest in West Seattle on Sunday night. Over 100 rounds were reportedly fired, but thankfully no injuries have been reported. Residents are urged to contact SPD with any information.

    Looking ahead to this weekend, don't forget about Seattle Restaurant Week kicking off on Friday. Over 200 local eateries will be offering special prix fixe menus, giving us all a chance to explore the city's diverse culinary scene.

    In transportation news, Amtrak is gradually restoring Cascades service after recent disruptions. Starting today, trains will resume running between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C. However, seating will be limited, so book in advance if you're planning a trip.

    Lastly, a heartwarming story from Ballard, where local high school students have raised over $50,000 for children's cancer research through their annual dance marathon. The 24-hour event brought together hundreds of community members in a display of solidarity and hope.

  • Seattle Job Market Soars, Transit CEO Picked, and Severe Weather Ahead | Seattle Local Pulse

    Seattle Job Market Soars, Transit CEO Picked, and Severe Weather Ahead | Seattle Local Pulse
    2025/03/28
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, March 28, 2025.

    We're starting off with some big news from the job market. Washington state now has the most competitive job market in the U.S., with a staggering 41 applicants per job opening. This trend is particularly pronounced in Seattle, where competition has skyrocketed by over 445% in the past year. Despite this, our state's unemployment rate has dipped slightly to 4.3%, showing some resilience in our economy.

    In local government news, the Seattle City Council is set to vote on Mayor Dow Constantine's nomination for Sound Transit CEO this week. This decision could have significant implications for our city's transportation future, so we'll be keeping a close eye on the outcome.

    Speaking of transportation, heads up to drivers using State Route 16. The road has reopened after a dump truck rollover in Kitsap County caused some delays yesterday. Meanwhile, the Washington State Department of Transportation is planning to install new sign bridges and toll structures on State Route 167, which might affect commutes in the coming weeks.

    On the weather front, we're in for an interesting day. Forecasters are predicting record warmth and even the possibility of severe thunderstorms. So, while it might be a great day to enjoy outdoor activities, keep an eye on the sky and be prepared for sudden changes.

    In business news, we're seeing some exciting developments in the medical technology sector. SNBL, a local biomedical lab, is partnering with Seattle-based Tasso Inc. to bring a new blood collection device to the Japanese market. This could mean more jobs and investment in our biotech industry.

    For sports fans, the Seattle Mariners kicked off their season with a bang, securing a 4-2 win over the Oakland Athletics at T-Mobile Park. And if you're looking for some weekend entertainment, don't miss the Northwest Record Show and the White Center Vintage Marketplace happening around town.

    In education news, we're proud to report that Dr. John E. Cech, President of Carroll College, has been honored with the Engaged Leadership Award at a recent conference held at Seattle University. This recognition highlights our region's commitment to civic engagement and educational equity.

    On a somber note, the Washington State Patrol is asking for public assistance in solving the double murder of two teens that occurred over a year ago. They're urging anyone with information to come forward.

    Lastly, we want to share a heartwarming community story. The Fighting Saints Food Pantry at Carroll College, established in 2022, continues to address food insecurity on campus, fostering a culture of care and responsibility among students.

  • Seattle Weather Woes, Transit Trouble, and Soaring Job Market - Local Pulse for March 27, 2025

    Seattle Weather Woes, Transit Trouble, and Soaring Job Market - Local Pulse for March 27, 2025
    2025/03/27
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, March 27, 2025.

    We're waking up to some wild weather in the Emerald City today. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for King County until 9 PM tonight, so keep those umbrellas handy. Despite the stormy forecast, we're looking at a high of 58 degrees, so it's not all doom and gloom.

    In breaking news, a Metro bus incident has caught our attention. A woman has filed a claim against King County after alleging a bus ran two red lights and sideswiped her on a crosswalk. This comes as the city grapples with ongoing transportation challenges. Speaking of which, the State Senate Democrats have proposed a gas tax hike to address the transportation budget shortfall. We'll be keeping a close eye on how this develops and what it means for Seattle commuters.

    On a brighter note, let's talk jobs. The Seattle-Bellevue area is currently ranked as the nation's fourth-hottest hiring market. New data shows that starting wages in our region average around $20 per hour, putting us on par with Boston and just behind San Francisco. The leisure and hospitality sector is leading the charge with a monthly hiring rate of 6.1%. This is great news for job seekers and a testament to our city's resilience.

    In real estate, the market remains competitive. We're seeing an average of 41 applicants per job listing in Washington state, significantly higher than other states. This high demand is reflected in our housing market, so if you're house hunting, be prepared for some fierce competition.

    Now, let's shift gears to sports. The University of Washington's rowing team just held their 124th annual Class Day Regatta on Montlake Cut. The junior men and fifth-year women took home the top honors in their respective races. It's always exciting to see our local athletes making waves, quite literally in this case.

    In community news, we're thrilled to report that Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences has been officially accepted into the Metro League. This move will provide SAAS students with new competitive opportunities and reduce travel time for games, which is a win-win for academics and athletics.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, don't forget about the 6th Annual Running of the Beavers 5K Walk/Run happening this Saturday. It's a great way to get some exercise and support our local schools.

    On a somber note, our thoughts are with the family of a former Army sergeant who was swept away in the Carbon River. Recovery efforts have been hampered by rough terrain, reminding us of the importance of water safety as we head into spring.

    This has been Seattle Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
