    "Mayoral Race Update, Sonics Legend Remembered, and Community Events Galore - Seattle Local Pulse"
    2025/11/13
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, November 13. We’re beginning today with what everyone’s talking about – the mayoral race. After a nail-biting week of ballot counting, Katie Wilson has now taken a slim but solid lead over incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell. With just under 2,000 votes separating them and most ballots counted, Wilson is being projected as our next mayor by King County Elections and major local outlets. Her campaign has focused on affordable housing, transportation, and social services, promising a progressive shift in city leadership. Both campaigns have encouraged voters, especially younger folks, to resolve any ballot issues quickly. Mayor Harrell is scheduled to address us today at noon, so all eyes will be on city hall for any final remarks.

    Big news beyond politics as well, with Lenny Wilkens, legendary Seattle SuperSonics coach and player, passing away at 88. Across local sports, the high school football playoffs saw Rainier Beach pull off a tense win last night at Memorial Stadium, while Garfield’s soccer team advanced to the state finals after a hard-fought match. Local schools are also celebrating Garfield High’s debate team, who just won the top spot in last weekend’s regional tournament.

    If you’re heading out, the weather is taking center stage again. Rain is already falling this morning and will continue throughout the day, with overcast skies and temperatures steady in the mid-to-high 50s. Expect soggy sidewalks and possible slick roads along Aurora Avenue and Rainier. If you were hoping to catch the northern lights tonight, the cloud cover may block the view for much of our area, so it’s umbrellas rather than sky-gazing for now.

    In real estate, Zillow reports Seattle median home prices have held mostly steady over the past month, just under $790,000, and the rental market is cooling a bit with some new apartment buildings opening up in Ballard and Capitol Hill. On the jobs front, Amazon lists more than 500 new positions in the Seattle area this week, ranging from warehouse roles in South Lake Union to tech jobs downtown.

    Turning to community events, don’t miss the Westlake Park renovation, currently underway and creating a buzz on Pine Street. The improved play area and new landscaping should be ready in time for holiday markets starting next week. This Friday, the Market to MOHAI walk kicks off at Pike Place at 9 a.m., and the Seattle Jazz Festival continues through Sunday with shows at smaller venues like the Tractor Tavern and Vera Project.

    For business updates, Rad Power Bikes is facing a permanent closure at their SODO location, while several new cafes have popped up near Green Lake and Queen Anne, bringing more choices for morning coffee. Crime-wise, Seattle PD responded to a burglary on 45th Street in Wallingford late last night, promptly arresting one suspect without incident. Public safety alerts remain active for an uptick in car break-ins around Northgate and parking lots downtown.

    On a feel-good note to end, volunteers with the Ballard Food Bank packed a record 2,500 meal kits yesterday, helping ensure our neighbors have support as the weather turns colder.

  • "King Tides, Housing Expansions, and a Thrilling Kraken Win: Your Seattle Local Pulse Update"

    "King Tides, Housing Expansions, and a Thrilling Kraken Win: Your Seattle Local Pulse Update"
    2025/11/09
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, November ninth. Today we wake up to chilly November air, partly cloudy skies, and a bit more brightness than usual. Temperatures hover just under fifty five degrees with plenty of cloud cover, so bundling up is a smart move for those heading out early. Rain is light today but as always, in Seattle, keep that rain jacket handy because damping showers could move in by the late afternoon and stick around into the early week.

    The big natural event making waves today is the return of King Tides. These extra high tides turn Elliott Bay, the South Park neighborhood, and our waterfront into a fascinating, dramatic scene this morning. If you’re up early, it is worth a stroll near Harbor Avenue or the Duwamish for some memorable photos, but be cautious near low-lying areas since high water can surprise those not paying attention. City crews have been out since dawn making sure drains are clear and warning signs are up, especially in spots where past flooding has been an issue.

    Turning to city hall, the Council’s most recent session tackled homeless shelter expansions, green lighting eighty new beds in Belltown with a plan to open by December. This comes as part of a larger effort to ease pressures on parks and public spaces as the colder weather settles in. Mayor Harrell’s office is also focused on boosting public transit safety after last week’s incidents at Westlake Station. More officers are expected on Link light rail this weekend.

    Our job market is holding steady according to the Northwest Business Journal, with tech company hiring leading the way and local unemployment rates dipping slightly to just under four percent. Amazon announced two hundred new logistics roles for its South Lake Union hub, starting interviews this week. Meanwhile, several small businesses join the city’s story: Little Hen Bakery is opening its long-awaited Green Lake location on Tuesday and Bumbershoot Café on Capitol Hill is closing its doors after twenty plus years in service. Locals are organizing a Sunday farewell gathering on Pike Street.

    Real estate remains competitive. The latest figures show the median Seattle home price sits near seven hundred eighty thousand dollars. First-time buyers should watch for two new affordable housing projects breaking ground in Rainier Valley and Ballard early next year.

    Culture and community shine on this November weekend. Join the Diwali lights festival tonight at Seattle Center and don’t miss the return of the Fremont Sunday Market. On the sports front, local fans are buzzing. Last night, the Seattle Kraken delivered a thrilling overtime win against St. Louis, with Chandler Stephenson tying the game in the final second and Shane Wright clinching victory in overtime. Meanwhile, Seattle University’s men’s basketball came heartbreakingly close against Cal Poly, falling seventy-three to seventy-one on a buzzer-beater.

    For safety, Seattle Police report quiet overnight hours citywide but are investigating a car break-in spree in the Queen Anne area. Extra patrols are scheduled along West Galer Street and the nearby grocery lot. If you see anything, authorities ask that we report right away. No violent incidents or major arrests have been announced, making for a calm night across most neighborhoods.

    In schools, congratulations go out to Roosevelt High debate team, earning top honors at yesterday’s regional meet, and Ballard’s girls soccer team clinched a playoff berth with an emotional win Friday night.

    We end with a feel-good story. Volunteers from the Ballard Food Bank spent Saturday morning assembling care kits for seniors, showing the strength of our local kindness as the holiday season approaches.

  • Weekend Wrap-Up: Shooting on Rainier, Power Restored, Affordable Housing Talks, and Community Rallies

    Weekend Wrap-Up: Shooting on Rainier, Power Restored, Affordable Housing Talks, and Community Rallies
    2025/11/08
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, November 8, 2025.

    Let’s start with breaking news from Rainier Avenue South. Seattle Police say a man is in critical condition after being shot in the chest just outside a King County Metro bus yesterday morning. Officers responded quickly, arresting a suspect nearby and recovering a firearm. Detectives are continuing their investigation into what led up to the altercation that spilled onto the sidewalk. The victim was rushed to Harborview for surgery, and we send our thoughts to his family as he recovers.

    Turning to weather, we can expect a chilly but pleasant day. Right now, it’s partly cloudy with temperatures climbing from the mid 40s this morning to about 55 by midafternoon. Humidity is high, so it might feel a touch cooler. Winds remain light, and with no rain in the forecast, it looks like a good day to get outside if you bundle up. Visibility is excellent across the city, though we’ll see a mix of clouds and occasional sun through sunset.

    Many of our neighbors are breathing easier this weekend. SNAP benefits have been restored for some Washington families, offering much-needed relief after weeks of widespread worry caused by the federal shutdown. Folks began lining up at grocery stores across Seattle last night, and the mood was visibly lighter in checkout lines. Meanwhile, travelers at Sea-Tac Airport are managing moderate disruptions. Airline flight cancellations are lower than at other hubs, but lines this morning are a bit longer than usual, so if you’re catching a flight, plan some extra time.

    South Seattle faced a brief power scare last night. Around 11,000 homes from Madrona across Leschi to Beacon Hill lost electricity after an underground vault fire near 29th Avenue and East Cherry. Seattle City Light crews worked through the early morning, and most customers are now back online. Officials remind everyone to check for spoiled foods and reach out if you still don’t have power.

    In city hall news, discussions this week center around improving emergency response coordination and expediting affordable housing permits. That’s great news for residents eyeing the fast-changing real estate landscape. The median home price in Seattle has leveled off around seven hundred fifty thousand dollars, a modest dip that could make buying more accessible as mortgage rates settle.

    Job seekers are seeing promising activity, with local tech and biotech startups announcing over two hundred openings. Retailers are also ramping up hiring for the holidays, so check job boards if you’re looking.

    Our music scene is buzzing. Tonight’s big draw is the sold-out indie showcase at the Showbox, and tomorrow the Northwest Symphony returns to Benaroya Hall for a family-friendly matinee. The weekend also brings the Ballard ArtWalk, Georgetown’s Night Market, and community cleanups at Green Lake and Seward Park.

    For schools, Garfield High just advanced to the state semifinals in boys soccer after a dramatic shootout last night, and Roosevelt High’s jazz band took home top honors at the Puget Sound Invitational. If you have kids in sports or music, there’s a lot to cheer for.

    Before we go, a feel-good story. After the SNAP restoration yesterday, a group of neighbors near Columbia City put together grocery baskets for seniors unable to shop in person, showing how Seattle always rallies together in tough times.

  • "Seattle Braces for Wet Commute, Travel Woes, and Election Updates"

    "Seattle Braces for Wet Commute, Travel Woes, and Election Updates"
    2025/11/07
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, November seventh. As we start our day, we’re bracing for a wet and blustery stretch. The first alert weather mode is in effect, with showers already moving through South Seattle and heavier rain and gusty winds set to hit during the afternoon commute. Expect standing water, poor visibility, and those famous leaves clogging our storm drains. Temperatures feel mild for November, starting in the mid-forties and nudging into the low fifties, but plan for slick roads and delays. The silver lining is a dry weekend ahead, so let’s hang in there through tonight’s mess and look forward to a break in the clouds.At Sea-Tac, many are waking up to a travel headache. Starting today, Alaska Airlines, along with Hawaiian and Horizon, will be canceling dozens of flights out of Seattle. This is a response to FAA guidance driven by air traffic control shortages tied to the ongoing government shutdown. Airlines say they’ll try to keep flights to smaller communities running, but anyone flying today or this weekend should check the status of their itinerary before heading to the airport.We’re still waiting on final results from this week’s election. As of last night, Mayor Bruce Harrell leads the mayoral race by roughly eight points over Katie Wilson. But Seattleites know the story does not end on election night, with late-counted ballots typically shifting results leftward, as we’ve seen in several previous mayoral races. Expect another batch of tallies by late afternoon, but the race isn’t officially called yet. While city hall watched local races closely, the broader national swing towards Democrats this week is sparking discussions within the Washington Democratic Party about the future direction ahead of next year’s big midterms.In the job market, it’s a tough moment for Seattle. Over four thousand jobs were lost in Western Washington last month alone, part of a broader national wave. Technology, warehousing, retail, and logistics are among the hardest hit industries here. With job openings slowing and layoffs stacking up, competition is tightening for available work, especially for those affected by the ongoing government shutdown, which has left many federal workers in a holding pattern. A state webinar for impacted workers is being held this morning.Turning to real estate, we’re seeing much more inventory for buyers this fall. The Seattle region ended October with nearly a third more active listings compared to last year, nudging the median sale price for a single family home slightly down to around six hundred sixty thousand dollars. While King County’s median edged up by about four percent, neighboring counties saw price dips. Brokers say this could be an opportune time for savvy buyers, as the market continues its seasonal cool-down.On the city beat, Seattle Public Utilities reminds us that tide levels will be at seasonal highs today and tomorrow downtown, so waterfront areas like Alaskan Way and Myrtle Edwards Park may see minor flooding during peak times. For those heading north or into the Cascades, note that a winter storm advisory is in effect for higher elevations, with Mount Baker expecting up to two feet of new snow by late morning. Travelers should be prepared and check road conditions.New business activity is a mixed bag. While some local cafes and shops in Ballard and Capitol Hill are hanging up the closed sign after tough months, there’s excitement in South Lake Union where two new independent bookstores and a family-run bakery are opening this weekend, providing a small lift for the neighborhood, and a reminder of the resilience in our business community.In sports, the Garfield High girls soccer team captured the metro title last night with a dramatic penalty shootout win at Memorial Stadium, earning a spot in next week’s state tournament. Seattle Kraken fans, the team hosts Vancouver at Climate Pledge Arena tonight as they look to build on Tuesday’s overtime win. For music lovers, the Belltown Jazz Walk returns tomorrow night, featuring more than a dozen local acts performing across neighborhood venues. It’s a great indoor option if the rain keeps you inside.Seattle Police report no major public safety incidents overnight, though officers responded to a string of car break-ins along Eastlake and a burglary near Columbia City. Increased patrols are expected in these areas after a recent uptick in property crimes.Finally, for a feel-good moment, we salute the community volunteers who helped plant over five hundred trees in Rainier Beach Park this week, part of a green initiative aiming to bring more shade and clean air to our south-end neighborhoods.Thank you for tuning in to Seattle Local Pulse.

  • Seattle Morning Report: Election Updates, Plane Incident, and Community Kindness

    Seattle Morning Report: Election Updates, Plane Incident, and Community Kindness
    2025/11/06
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, November sixth, twenty twenty-five. We're waking up under thick clouds across King County, with steady drizzle in most neighborhoods. Streets through Capitol Hill and around Green Lake are slick, so let’s watch those brakes and keep an umbrella handy. Temperatures are in the mid fifties this morning, rising just a bit with overcast skies and a continuing chance of showers. By afternoon, we could see thunder rumbling near Ballard and the UW campus, so outdoor plans, especially kids' soccer or walking the dog around Seward Park, might be dodging some heavy bursts. Forecasters say the rain will stick around through tonight, with the possibility for isolated thunderstorms and a flood warning underway for the northern coast. Winds may kick up enough to cause some power flickers, so let’s be ready just in case.

    Turning to breaking news, we’re in the thick of election week. Bruce Harrell has added to his lead in the Seattle mayor’s race, now holding about fifty-four percent, while Katie Wilson trails by roughly eight points. According to the West Seattle Blog, Girmay Zahilay looks to be holding a two percent lead for King County Executive. Many ballots remain uncounted, so these numbers can still shift, but Zahilay could become our county’s first new executive in sixteen years. Over at city hall, council reshuffle is underway, with both Erica Evans and Dion Wilson posting strong margins and signs pointing to historical patterns where most primary winners seal victory in the general.

    Downtown, there’s sad news after a dramatic UPS plane incident. Investigators say an engine fell off before a deadly crash early yesterday near Boeing Field. Federal teams remain on scene, and air traffic in the area is rerouted today, so expect delays if you're heading out from the airport.

    On the jobs front, hiring is steady, with about eight hundred postings added citywide since Monday. Tech positions dominate along Lake Union and South Lake Union, while retail shops along Pike and Pine are still looking for seasonal help leading into the holidays. In real estate, the median home price in Seattle holds around eight hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Inventory is slim but active, with several new townhouses popping up near Beacon Hill and Eastlake.

    For music lovers, Neumos is hosting Seattle folk duo Salt Pine tonight, and the Paramount has a sold-out hip hop showcase tomorrow. Those planning for the weekend can check out the Ballard Holiday Market on Sunday, offering crafts, cider, and fresh produce. Garfield High’s volleyball team made headlines yesterday for clinching the district finals. Lincoln High Debate Club also scored top marks at last night’s citywide invitational.

    Today's crime report is anchored by heightened patrols in the Rainier Valley after several car break-ins late last night, as well as a robbery on Madison Street near Swedish Hospital. Police have made one arrest and are urging witnesses to come forward. Public safety officers are promising increased visibility tonight as a precaution.

    And for a feel-good moment: Volunteers at Green Lake gathered before sunrise, handing out free coffee and breakfast for transit workers braving the wet commute. Their kindness helped lift the mood and bring neighbors together, rain or shine.

  • Seattle Weathers Big Dark, Neighbors Band Together for Food Drives

    Seattle Weathers Big Dark, Neighbors Band Together for Food Drives
    2025/11/02
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, November 2, 2025. As we roll into November, we are officially setting our clocks back an hour this morning as Daylight Saving Time ends. That means the sun will set before five o’clock tonight, wrapping the city in the annual Big Dark. Longtime residents know this marks the true start of Seattle’s winter stretch, so expect shorter days and check those porch lights before tonight. We have clouds and scattered rain on the radar this morning, with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s. Gusts could reach up to 45 miles per hour today, and a Flood Watch remains in effect across King County, so if you are headed out, pack your rain gear, drive carefully, and keep an eye out for standing water, especially as the day goes on.

    On the civic front, all eyes are on City Hall as leaders gear up for a major vote tomorrow. With federal SNAP food assistance paused and over nine hundred thousand Washingtonians affected, the city council will consider declaring a civil emergency to unlock four million dollars immediately for food banks, school meal programs, and emergency food distribution. If approved, this support could help extend food bank hours and keep schools stocked while we await word on federal funding. In the meantime, neighbors have been stepping up at places like Cal Anderson Park, where volunteers organized massive food drives over the weekend.

    Turning to real estate and jobs, the latest word around Seattle is that new home listings have dipped about ten percent since last month, reflecting the usual seasonal slowdown after a busy summer. Median home prices are hovering near eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the local job market continues to hold steady despite national uncertainties. Tech, healthcare, and hospitality remain hot industries, and several employers have posted for seasonal and remote roles recently, especially as holiday hiring ramps up.

    In neighborhood news, the White Center Business Alliance and local businesses are still buzzing from the recent Day of the Dead festivities and looking ahead to the next Rat City Art and Food Walk, scheduled for Thursday evening. Meanwhile, the Head Start programs in White Center and West Seattle are facing shutdown risks, prompting ongoing community fundraising to keep these vital child-care services open. If you want to show support for local businesses, look for some shops offering indoor events all week along California Avenue and the Junction.

    As for sports, our hats are off to the Chief Sealth International High School cross-country teams—both the boys and girls placed second at the 2A district championships and are on their way to state. Over at Climate Pledge Arena, the Seattle Kraken put up a fierce effort last night but ultimately fell to the New York Rangers in overtime, three to two. In soccer, the Sounders face a tough test, trailing Minnesota by a goal heading into the second leg of the MLS playoffs tomorrow night at Lumen Field.

    For public safety, police are looking for a silver Toyota Tundra involved in a hit-and-run on Southwest Oregon Street late last night, which damaged several parked cars before fleeing south. If you live near the Admiral District, officers responded quickly to a reported prowler incident earlier this week, just missing the suspect. Residents are encouraged to keep lights on and stay alert.

    A quick note for those with mail-in ballots: only about seventeen percent of Seattle voters have returned them so far. Drop boxes close at eight PM on Tuesday, so be sure to make your voice heard in this pivotal election.

    On a brighter note, today’s feel-good story comes from the turnout at Cal Anderson Park, where hundreds of neighbors came together with food donations, showing once again how this city comes together when times get tough.

  • Wet and Windy Weekend Ahead, SNAP Benefits Delayed, Local Heroes Stock Little Free Pantries

    Wet and Windy Weekend Ahead, SNAP Benefits Delayed, Local Heroes Stock Little Free Pantries
    2025/11/01
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, November 1st. As we welcome a new month, we’re waking up to cloudy skies and bracing for a wet and windy Saturday. Forecasters say we should expect rain moving in through late morning with gusty winds hitting their peak between 10 and 2 o’clock this afternoon. We’re looking at gusts up to 50 miles per hour downtown, so if you’re heading to Pike Place Market or planning a walk around Green Lake, grab your rain jackets and keep an eye on those tree branches. This storm is not expected to be as intense as last weekend’s, but it will pack a punch, with rain lingering into the evening and possibly heavy at times. Saturday’s highs should reach the upper 50s, tapering off to showers by Sunday morning, so we have a classic Seattle November weekend ahead.In breaking local news, thousands of families across Seattle and Washington woke up still waiting for their November food assistance. Because of the ongoing government shutdown, SNAP benefits are temporarily delayed, and the USDA has received a court order to figure out how to get payments back on track by Monday. That means many who rely on food stamps won’t see deposits this weekend. We’re seeing some incredible kindness in action, though, as neighbors in South Seattle, especially along Rainier Avenue and Beacon Hill, are restocking Little Free Pantries to help their community through the gap. Nearly three hundred thousand children in our state depend on this help to stay healthy and ready for school, so acts like these are making a real difference.Over to city hall, Mayor Bruce Harrell is expected to address the SNAP benefits situation later today and is encouraging residents to check in with local food resource programs. Seattle Public Schools also reminds families that the WIC program remains open, so support is available for families with young kids. In other city news, election season is ramping up, with local candidates making final pushes in neighborhoods across Ballard, Capitol Hill, and West Seattle as important votes on police funding and housing policy take center stage next week.On the jobs front, we’re seeing the city’s unemployment rate holding steady around four percent. Tech companies along South Lake Union are cautiously reopening new hiring pipelines, especially for entry-level roles and healthcare support, while several locally owned retail shops on University Way and Broadway are advertising part-time holiday positions. Downtown, a handful of new restaurants have opened their doors just in time for the drizzle season, including a much-anticipated dim sum spot near Chinatown-International District.In real estate, Seattle’s median home price hovers near $840,000, with condo sales gaining momentum as first-time buyers look for affordable alternatives in Belltown and Northgate. Rental demand remains high, but new listings are slowly helping stabilize prices, easing pressure in neighborhoods like Fremont and Columbia City.Turning to sports, our Seattle Sounders are preparing for their playoff opener tomorrow at Lumen Field, hoping to build on last week’s thrilling come-from-behind win. Garfield High School’s girls soccer team clinched their district title, and Roosevelt’s debate team took home the top prize at the citywide championships—congrats to all those stellar students.On the crime report, Seattle Police are searching for a missing 15-year-old, last seen Thursday night near Greenwood Avenue North and North 110th Street, described as a white male around 5 foot 8, wearing a navy hoodie. Anyone with information should contact SPD immediately. Police also made an arrest after a brief pursuit in South Seattle connected to several recent burglaries, and officers on Aurora Avenue responded quickly to a reported stabbing, which is now under investigation. No major injuries were reported in that incident.For music and culture lovers, the Paramount Theatre has a sold-out jazz showcase tonight, and the Seattle Art Museum is debuting a new modern sculpture exhibit this weekend. Saturday’s Phinney Neighborhood Center Harvest Festival may move some activities indoors due to weather, but the community spirit is sure to shine no matter the clouds.If you need a feel-good moment, we want to highlight Ali Thomas and his family in South Seattle. They’ve been quietly keeping their Little Free Pantry stocked every morning so neighbors don’t go hungry, a simple act that is touching so many lives, especially on weekends like this.Thanks for tuning in to Local Pulse today, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a morning update.

  • Seattle Election Race, Sustainability Initiatives, and Community Highlights - Seattle Local Pulse for October 30, 2025

    Seattle Election Race, Sustainability Initiatives, and Community Highlights - Seattle Local Pulse for October 30, 2025
    2025/10/30
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for October 30, 2025. We're starting with the latest from City Hall, where the mayoral race is heating up. Community organizer Katie Wilson is challenging Mayor Bruce Harrell with proposals to tax vacant properties, high earners, and large firms. This election is a test of Seattle's appetite for progressive taxation, as the city seeks to close its budget gap without driving businesses away. Mayor Harrell, meanwhile, is proposing a temporary increase in taxes on companies earning over $12 million, while expanding exemptions for small businesses.

    In other city news, Mayor Harrell recently celebrated the opening of a new tree nursery, which will support the growth of Seattle's tree canopy by holding 1,000 trees locally each year. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the city's environmental sustainability.

    Looking at the weather, today is expected to be overcast with temperatures ranging from 45 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit. An atmospheric river is forecasted to arrive late Friday, which could impact outdoor activities. For now, it's a great day to explore indoor attractions like the newly renovated aquarium at the waterfront.

    In business news, Alaska Airlines has announced two new domestic routes from Sea-Tac Airport to Tulsa and Humboldt County, set to launch in 2026. This expansion will provide Seattleites with more travel options.

    On the cultural front, Savannah Reich's performance of "Oedipus in Seattle" has been gaining attention for its unique blend of playfulness and philosophical depth. If you're looking for something to do this weekend, consider checking it out.

    In sports, we're keeping an eye on local school achievements, but there aren't any major updates today. However, it's always exciting to see our young athletes in action.

    For community events, keep an eye out for upcoming festivals and gatherings around the city. There's always something happening in Seattle, whether it's a food festival or a charity run.

    On the crime front, we're not seeing any significant incidents to report today. However, we always encourage listeners to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

    Finally, let's end with a feel-good story. Seattle's community spirit is always inspiring, and we're proud of the many volunteers who help keep our parks clean and beautiful.
