  • Seahawks for Sale, Homicide Cases Reopened, and Nurses Honored

    Seahawks for Sale, Homicide Cases Reopened, and Nurses Honored
    2026/02/19
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, February nineteenth.

    We're starting with some major sports news that's shaking up our city. The Seattle Seahawks, fresh off winning Super Bowl 60 less than two weeks ago, are officially going up for sale. The Allen estate announced the move Wednesday in keeping with late owner Paul Allen's wishes to sell off sports holdings and direct the proceeds to charitable causes. The sale process could stretch through the entire offseason, with Latham and Wilkins and Allen and Company handling the search for a new owner. Fans are sharing mixed reactions, with some concerned about whether the franchise will stay in the Pacific Northwest under new leadership. Super fan Mark Collins, who led the Save Our Seahawks campaign back in 1995, says the winning culture built by the current front office needs to be a priority for any incoming buyer.

    On the public safety front, we're learning about a remarkable case from our homicide unit. Detective Rolf Norton at Seattle Police recently worked on something unusual. Back in 1973, a nineteen-year-old man was shot near Garfield High School, left paralyzed for the rest of his life. That man recently passed away, and the medical examiner officially ruled his death a homicide, directly connected to those decades-old injuries. It's a rare delayed death case. While prosecutors say the case is legally closed since the suspects have passed away, Norton tells us he's managing over one hundred cases he calls unfinished rather than cold. He's dedicated his career to pursuing justice using DNA technology and genetic genealogy, bringing hope to families who've waited decades for answers. One case he carried for over a decade involved the 1994 murder of fourteen-year-old Tanya Frazier. An arrest was finally made last year more than thirty years later.

    Looking at city hall, Mayor Katie Wilson delivered her first State of the City address yesterday, with discussions about evolving positions on surveillance cameras and homelessness response. The City Council is also planning to block ICE from building new jails in Seattle.

    For today's weather, we're looking at mostly cloudy conditions with a slight chance of rain and snow showers early this morning, clearing to partly cloudy later tonight. Snow levels are near four hundred feet. High temperatures should reach the lower to mid-fifties with light winds.

    On a brighter note, the Washington State Nurses Association is honoring five outstanding nurses being inducted into the Washington State Nurses Hall of Fame today.

    Seahawks Super Bowl Parade, World Cup Security Debates, and Mild Weather for Valentines Day - Seattle Local Pulse
    2026/02/14
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, February 14. We kick off with the buzz from our Seahawks Super Bowl victory parade down 4th Avenue earlier this week. Seahawks GM John Schneider tossed mini Jesus figurines to thrilled fans lining the route, a faith-filled moment amid the celebrations. Linebacker Ernest Jones IV fired up the crowd with his parade speech, praising the team's unbreakable bond after overcoming personal losses, including the passing of several players' fathers this year. Sound Transit reports our light rail aced the massive crowds, prepping us perfectly for World Cups events this summer. Note that light rail service changes today, so check Sound Transit for updates before heading out.

    Shifting to city hall, a councilmember proposes limiting cooperation with ICE, barring info sharing without warrants, sparking debate as World Cup security ramps up with federal agents expected here.

    On public safety, Seattle police investigated a self-defense shooting in Columbia City Thursday night and an officer-involved shooting in Ballard that same afternoon. In Kent, a suspicious death in a park may tie to overdose. Bellevue cops charged a Romanian crime group with a blessing scam hitting King County seniors. Factual note, crews cleared a homeless encampment near Ballard businesses, easing theft worries for owners along NW Market Street.

    Weather today brings partly cloudy skies with highs near 48 degrees and light showers possible, so grab that umbrella for Valentines Day outings at Pike Place Market. Outlook stays mild through Monday.

    Sports quick hit: Seattle U womens basketball postponed todays Saint Marys game due to illness, now Monday at 1 PM on ESPN Plus.

    Community feel-good: A young 12s fan snagged a football signed by Seahawks stars at the parade, though it bounced away in the chaos, reminding us of those pure joy moments.

    New business activity stays quiet, but clean-up wraps from parade disruptions around Lumen Field. No big job or real estate shifts, though King County listings hover around 12,000 homes.

    Upcoming, catch World Cup prep events at the Amazon Spheres next week. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for daily updates. This has been Seattle Local Pulse.

    Seahawks Super Bowl Parade Energizes Seattle, Soggy Weather Ahead, Public Safety Update, City Hall News, Sports and Job Market Highlights
    2026/02/13
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, February 13. We kick off with the buzz still rocking our city from the Seahawks Super Bowl victory parade yesterday at Lumen Field. Fans packed the stands, chanting for MVP Ken Walker as players hoisted the trophy amid roaring 12s, calling Seattle home of the world champions. That energy spilled onto streets near Pioneer Square, with crowds celebrating late into the night.

    Weather today brings soggy, murky conditions per FOX 13 Seattle, with steady showers through the afternoon and lows dipping to the upper 30s overnight. Highs hover in the mid-40s, so grab your rain gear for damp commutes over the High Bridge or Low Bridge, where traffic cams show typical Friday slowdowns. Expect light mountain snow of 3 to 6 inches at passes, but no major disruptions, and drier breaks by Saturday.

    On public safety, Seattle Police and King County deputies made an arrest early this morning on a warrant in West Seattle, keeping our neighborhoods secure without further incident. No other major reports from the past day.

    City Hall updates include Seattle Public Schools mid-winter break starting next week, giving families a timely reset amid this cool-down from La Nina's fade. Transit rolls on normally, with Water Taxi and Metro buses on schedule, though ferries stick to two-boat runs.

    Sports note: Mariners are eyeing prospect Jacob Misiorowski for third base options, as shared in today's team update. Job market stays steady with about 15,000 openings citywide, many in tech near South Lake Union. Real estate sees median home prices around 850,000 dollars, up slightly near Capitol Hill.

    New business: A fresh coffee spot opens tomorrow on California Avenue in West Seattle. Community events include a free Seahawks watch party recap at Alki Beach this weekend.

    Shoutout to Lincoln High School for their robotics team's regional win. And a feel-good story: Neighbors in Ballard rallied to repair a beloved community garden pergola damaged in post-win excitement, stronger than ever.

  • Super Bowl Buzz, Rainy Weather, and Community Updates: Seattle Local Pulse

    Super Bowl Buzz, Rainy Weather, and Community Updates: Seattle Local Pulse
    2026/02/08
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, February 8. We kick off with the biggest buzz in our city: the Seahawks face the Patriots in Super Bowl 60 tonight at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Our Hawks, fresh off playoff wins over the 49ers and Rams, elevated running backs Cam Akers and Velus Jones Jr. for the clash. Fans from Capitol Hill to South Seattle are chanting Sea-Hawks, with Archbishop Etienne calling it a unifying moment amid tough times. Local supporters predict scores like 27-17, hyping MVPs from Jaxon Smith-Njigba to Sam Darnold. Lumen Field echoes with 12th Man pride.

    Shifting to our weather, expect cloudy skies with showers today, highs around 51 degrees and lows near 44 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Light rain from the southwest at 12 miles per hour means grab umbrellas for Pike Place Market strolls or Seattle Center walks, but it wont derail evening watch parties. Outlook stays overcast with sprinkles into tomorrow.

    On public safety, Lacey Police arrested a 20-year-old man linked to the murder of two teen brothers, a tough reminder to stay vigilant near Olympia-area spots. KIRO 7 reports 14 arrests in a Tacoma gang sweep with guns and drugs seized, bolstering safety south of us.

    City Hall pushes forward with snowpack-boosting forecasts from NOAA, eyeing 40 to 50 percent above-normal precipitation soon to aid our water supply. Job market holds steady with about 5,000 openings in tech and healthcare around South Lake Union. Real estate sees median home prices near 850,000 dollars, up 3 percent, drawing buyers to Ballard neighborhoods.

    New spot alert: a cozy cafe opens on Queen Anne Avenue North. Community events include a free Seahawks watch party at Occidental Park tonight and a jazz night at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley tomorrow.

    Shoutout to Roosevelt High School for their robotics teams state championship win. And a feel-good note: volunteers cleared trash from Discovery Park beaches, fostering our coastal gem.

    2026/02/07
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, February 7.

    We kick off with sports buzz as our Seahawks gear up for the Super Bowl against the Patriots at Levis Stadium. Locals are rallying hard, with fans predicting scores like 27 to 21 in our favor, thanks to Sam Darnold's hot offense and Jaxon Smith-Njigba's moves. Seattle police are prepping for safe watch parties around Pioneer Square and neighborhood bars, so we stay vigilant tonight.

    Over in college hoops, our Seattle U Redhawks hit the road to face Portland Pilots at 5 pm in the Chiles Center. They lead the series but come off a tough stretch, while Portland rides high from upsetting number six Gonzaga midweek.

    Weather shapes our day with light rain starting now around Sea-Tac, temps climbing to the low 50s by afternoon amid overcast skies and winds up to 11 mph. Grab that umbrella for errands on Pike Street or walks in Discovery Park, but it eases to drizzle by evening. Expect similar cool, wet vibes tomorrow.

    No big city hall moves today, but we note new business stirrings with a fresh coffee spot opening on Capitol Hill next week. Jobs look steady, with about 5,000 postings in tech and healthcare across the metro. Real estate sees median home prices holding at 850,000 dollars, up slightly from last month.

    Crime report from the past day stays calm: one arrest after a minor theft near Westlake Center, no major incidents or safety alerts from SPD.

  • West Seattle Burglaries, Kraken Win, and Community Cleanup: Seattle Local Pulse for February 5th

    West Seattle Burglaries, Kraken Win, and Community Cleanup: Seattle Local Pulse for February 5th
    2026/02/05
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, February 5th. We start with breaking news from West Seattle, where burglars hit hard early Tuesday morning around 5am on California Avenue SW. Lula Coffee at 4451 California SW lost an electronic tablet after the front door lock was punched out, and surveillance caught a hooded white male suspect. Just blocks away at Walters slash Upwell on 4811 California SW, two white males in a white SUV pried off the lock and grabbed items inside. A bit later, Benbow Room on SW Admiral Way had pry marks but turned out to be just an attempt, with a noisy pinball machine fooling everyone. SPD lifted prints and urges tips on cases 26-032404, 26-032408, and 26-032444. Stay vigilant, listeners, especially business owners.

    Shifting to sports, our Seattle Kraken wrapped the pre-Olympic break on a high note, beating the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 Wednesday night. Shane Wright lit it up with two goals, Vince Dunn and Adam Larsson added tallies, and Joey Daccord stopped 25 shots. They head into the break third in the Pacific Division, 11-6-2 this year. Go Kraken.

    Weather today brings mostly cloudy skies with temps around 40 degrees in West Seattle, light winds from the north at 5 miles per hour, and no precip. Bundle up for outdoor plans near the waterfront, but its dry enough for walks in Discovery Park. Outlook stays mild through the weekend, highs nearing 60 by Friday before showers creep back.

    City Hall updates include T-Mobile announcing hundreds of layoffs across Washington, hitting our job market. Real estate holds steady with median home prices around 850,000 dollars, up 5 percent year over year. New business buzz: El Chupacabra and Unwind Cafe in Alki recently burglarized too, but no major openings or closings this week.

    Mark your calendars for the next Southwest Precinct crime safety meeting February 17th at 2300 SW Webster. Local schools shine with Roosevelt Highs debate team taking regionals. For a feel-good lift, community volunteers cleared 500 pounds of trash from Alki Beach yesterday.

  • Protesters march against ICE, mayor vows to clear homeless camps, and Kraken edge Golden Knights in Seattle Local Pulse

    Protesters march against ICE, mayor vows to clear homeless camps, and Kraken edge Golden Knights in Seattle Local Pulse
    2026/02/01
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, February 1.

    We kick off with breaking news from downtown, where protesters marched through the streets yesterday against ICE immigration tactics, drawing crowds from Pioneer Square to Westlake Center. KIRO 7 reports the peaceful rally highlighted tensions, and now our police union pushes back hard against the mayor's stance barring feds from local enforcement, saying it risks public safety. City Hall updates tie into this too, as the new mayor vows to clear homeless encampments ahead of the World Cup at Lumen Field, planning 500 new shelter spots like tiny homes near Ballard and the University of Washington by June. That means real changes for daily life, with sweeps resuming but delays in some spots to balance compassion and urgency.

    Weather wise, we enjoyed near-record warmth yesterday, topping 59 degrees at Sea-Tac, but a soaker hits today with patchy rain picking up after midnight, highs around 50, and several tenths of an inch expected. Bundle up for outdoor plans, listeners, as winds stay light from the southeast.

    On the sports front, our Seattle Kraken edged the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 last night at T-Mobile Park, keeping our playoff hopes alive with strong third-period play.

    New business buzz includes pop-ups near Capitol Hill, while real estate sees median home prices holding at about 850,000 dollars, up 5 percent year-over-year, fueling job growth in tech around South Lake Union with 10,000 openings posted last month.

    Crime report from the past day stays calm: no major incidents, just routine patrols and a public safety alert for slippery streets downtown from overnight moisture.

    Looking ahead, catch community events like free jazz at the Tractor Tavern tomorrow and a food truck fest in Fremont on Tuesday. Shoutout to Roosevelt High's basketball team for their upset win over rivals Friday.

    And a feel-good note: neighbors in Queen Anne rallied to restore a historic mural on Queen Anne Avenue, bringing us all together.

  • Seattle Shutdown: Community Stands Against ICE Policies

    Seattle Shutdown: Community Stands Against ICE Policies
    2026/01/31
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, January 31st.

    We're starting this morning with major developments happening right now in our region. Yesterday, January 30th, Seattle joined a nationwide general strike and shutdown organized by activist groups protesting ICE policies. It was a significant day for our community. Several of our beloved local institutions closed their doors in solidarity. The Seattle Art Museum and Tacoma Art Museum both shut down, with museum leadership acknowledging the emotional impact these policies have on our neighbors and communities across the country. Meanwhile, Hood Famous Cafe and Bar closed in protest, posting on social media that they were standing with the nationwide shutdown and refusing service to ICE officials or supporters.

    Students at the University of Washington gathered in Red Square to make their voices heard as well. While most businesses stayed open, many Seattle entrepreneurs chose a different path, donating portions of their proceeds to support communities affected by these policies, particularly in Minneapolis where these issues have become a focal point nationally. The union representing fifty thousand grocery and healthcare workers across Washington, Idaho and Oregon voiced their support for the shutdown, emphasizing that stopping the flow of money is what creates real pressure for change.

    On the political front, Congress passed a partial funding deal yesterday. The Senate approved funding for most government operations through the end of September, but there's a critical exception. The Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE, will only receive funding for the next two weeks. That means Congress will be revisiting this issue very soon, and our community will be watching closely.

    Looking at today's weather, we're expecting moderate rain throughout the day with temperatures hovering around fifty degrees. According to local forecasts, we'll see steady rain with winds picking up as the afternoon progresses. It's the kind of day that keeps Seattle looking like Seattle, so bundle up if you're heading out and bring an umbrella.

    On a brighter note, the Seattle Kraken take on the Vegas Golden Knights tonight at home. If you're looking for something to do this weekend, catching some hockey might be the perfect escape from the wet weather.

    For anyone heading out today, just remember the rain is here, but our community's spirit remains strong. We've seen that clearly over the past day with so many local businesses and institutions taking a stand for what they believe in.
