    Lacey murder arrest, measles cases in Snohomish, organized retail theft charges, Amazon cuts, Starbucks sales up, Tacoma Arts Live closes.
    2026/01/29
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, January 29th.

    We're starting this morning with a significant development out of Lacey where police have made an arrest in connection with the murder of two teen brothers. The Lacey Police Department announced Wednesday that a 20-year-old man has been taken into custody. Investigators are continuing their work on this case, and we'll bring you updates as more information becomes available.

    Turning to a growing concern across our region, the Snohomish County Health Department has confirmed three additional measles cases, bringing the total to six in the county. Health officials are urging anyone who may have been exposed to reach out to their healthcare provider and to ensure vaccinations are current.

    On the retail crime front, King County prosecutors have filed felony charges in an organized retail theft case that affected multiple Ulta Beauty stores across our area. Investigators documented 24 reported incidents between November and early January at locations in north Seattle, West Seattle, Tukwila, and Federal Way. The total value of stolen merchandise came to roughly 18,400 dollars. This case highlights a broader trend we're seeing in property crime across the region, with charges up significantly compared to previous years.

    In business news, we're seeing some notable shifts in our local economy. Amazon announced a significant reduction, cutting 16,000 jobs globally, while Starbucks reported that sales are actually up. Also, Tacoma Arts Live has announced it's closing its doors, marking the end of an important cultural venue for our neighbors to the south.

    Over at City Hall, lawmakers are reviewing a proposal that could reshape how retailers price groceries. House Bill 2481 would limit what supporters call surveillance pricing and surge pricing on essential goods. The bill would restrict personalized pricing based on consumer data and would pause the rollout of electronic shelf labels. Industry groups have expressed concerns about the broad language, though everyone agrees discriminatory pricing is something we need to address.

    Looking at today's weather, we're expecting mild conditions with highs reaching into the low to mid 50s. We've had quite a dry stretch in January, but Seattle's weather pattern is shifting, and we're expecting a series of weather systems to move in soon. So if you're planning outdoor activities today, the timing is good, but keep an eye on what's coming our way in the next few days.

    Sunny skies, immigration march, and Seahawks watch parties - your Seattle Local Pulse update.
    2026/01/23
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, January 23. We kick off with sunny skies blessing us today after a chilly start, with morning lows dipping to the low 30s around Sea-Tac Airport and highs climbing to the mid 40s by afternoon. Perfect weather for getting out to Pike Place Market or a stroll along the waterfront, though bundle up against that north wind at 7 miles per hour. Dry conditions hold through the weekend, but showers might return by Wednesday, so plan your outdoor fun now.

    Over in Olympia yesterday, more than 500 folks marched to the Capitol steps with the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, pushing state lawmakers for better healthcare access, a funded deportation defense hotline, and stronger protections like the Immigrant Worker Protection Act up for review today. It hits close to home here in Seattle, where schools are doubling down on student safety amid ICE concerns.

    City Hall is leaning into diversion programs over charges for public drug use, aiming to keep our streets safer without overwhelming courts. Meanwhile, Sound Transit warns of 1 Line disruptions Friday and Saturday for maintenance work, so check schedules if youre heading to Capitol Hill Station.

    On the flood front, Governor Ferguson is seeking federal funds to rebuild nearly 4,000 homes damaged along the Skagit, Snohomish, and Cedar Rivers from recent atmospheric rivers that swamped I-5 and local routes. Were watching how this aids recovery in our north and east suburbs.

    Crime stayed relatively quiet in the past day, with no major incidents reported by Seattle PD, though stay vigilant around downtown after dark. In brighter news, a feel-good story from West Seattle: neighbors rallied to clear sidewalks for an elderly resident after last weeks freeze, turning it into a block party at Alki Beach.

  • Seahawks Cruise to NFC Championship, Kraken Fall to Mammoth in Weekend Sports Action

    Seahawks Cruise to NFC Championship, Kraken Fall to Mammoth in Weekend Sports Action
    2026/01/18
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, January eighteenth.

    We're starting this morning with an exciting sports update that has the entire city buzzing. The Seahawks dominated the San Francisco Forty-Niners yesterday in a playoff divisional round matchup that was nothing short of spectacular. The final score was forty-one to six, and Seattle is now headed to the NFC Championship game next Sunday right here at home. It was an incredible performance from start to finish. Rashid Shaheed returned the opening kickoff ninety-five yards for a touchdown just thirteen seconds into the game, setting the tone for what would become a dominant defensive display. Running back Kenneth Walker rushed for three touchdowns, tying a franchise playoff record. Quarterback Sam Darnold, playing in his first season with the team, completed twelve of seventeen passes and threw a touchdown to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Seahawks defense was relentless throughout, forcing multiple turnovers against a forty-niners team that was already without several key players due to injury. Our next opponent will be either the Chicago Bears or the Los Angeles Rams, and a win would send us to our first Super Bowl appearance in eleven years.

    Speaking of yesterday, we also want to mention that down south in Salt Lake City, the Utah Mammoth took down the Seattle Kraken in an intense hockey matchup. The final score was six to three. Defenseman Nate Schmidt had an outstanding game with two goals and two assists, including the go-ahead goal with just five and a half minutes left in the third period. The Mammoth extended their point streak to seven games with this important win.

    Now let's talk about what's happening outside today. We're looking at beautiful conditions across the Puget Sound region. It's going to be mostly sunny and cool throughout the day with highs in the mid-forties. Winds will be light, staying around four miles per hour, making it a perfect day to get outside and enjoy the weather. We can expect this dry stretch to continue into next week, which is unusual for mid-January here in the Pacific Northwest. So if you've been cooped up indoors, today is definitely the day to take advantage.

    As we head into the week ahead, make sure you're staying connected to local news and developments in our community. There's always something happening here in Seattle that affects our daily lives and our neighbors.

  • Seahawks Face 49ers, Kraken Take On Mammoth, Bullfrog Overpass Done - Seattle Local Pulse

    Seahawks Face 49ers, Kraken Take On Mammoth, Bullfrog Overpass Done - Seattle Local Pulse
    2026/01/17
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, January 17. We kick off with breaking news as our Seahawks gear up for a huge NFC divisional playoff clash against the San Francisco 49ers tomorrow at Lumen Field. Fans are buzzing along 1st Avenue, with businesses from Pioneer Square to Belltown banking on the playoff run to boost sales, and Seattle police ramp up patrols around the stadium to keep things safe amid expected crowds. Our Kraken hit the ice tonight against the Utah Mammoth, giving us another shot at playoff momentum.

    Shifting to city hall, crews just wrapped the Bullfrog Road overpass over I-90 on schedule, easing commutes for drivers from Bellevue to downtown and cutting daily delays that hit thousands. On public safety, Seattle police report a sensitive incident yesterday with a woman shot after about 60 rounds fired near Othello Station in Rainier Valley, no arrests yet but investigators urge witnesses near Martin Luther King Junior Way to come forward. Kent officers also rescued a teen in crisis last night, a reminder of our community's watchfulness.

    The job market stays steady with about 15,000 openings posted last week on sites like Indeed, many in tech around South Lake Union and healthcare near Swedish Medical Center. Real estate sees median home prices holding at around 850,000 dollars, with quick sales in Capitol Hill neighborhoods drawing buyers from California.

    Weather-wise, we enjoy mostly sunny skies today, warming to 52 degrees by mid-afternoon around the Space Needle, perfect for outdoor walks along the waterfront with light winds and no rain in sight. Expect clear evenings dropping to the low 40s.

    New business buzz includes Rite Aid closing a few spots in the area, but Seahawks fever has bars on 1st Avenue South thriving. Upcoming, catch community cleanups tomorrow at Discovery Park and a free concert series kickoff Tuesday at Pike Place Market. Seattle Thunderbirds fell 3-2 in overtime to Moose Jaw Warriors in Kent last night, but their young stars shone. And a feel-good note: neighbors in West Seattle rallied to fend off an intruder and support a homeowner, embodying our tight-knit spirit.

  • Park Overhaul, Safety Talks, and Sunny Skies: Seattle Local Pulse Update

    Park Overhaul, Safety Talks, and Sunny Skies: Seattle Local Pulse Update
    2026/01/16
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, January 16. We kick off with breaking news from Beacon Hill, where Dr. Jose Rizal Park has closed to the public for major renovations. KOMO News reports city crews are tackling damage from years of homeless encampments, drug activity, and fires, including a 150,000 dollar demolition of a rundown picnic shelter. Neighbors hope the upgrades, like an expanded play area and plaza set to reopen next month, will keep it safe for families enjoying those stunning downtown views.

    Shifting to public safety, Seattle Police arrested a felon yesterday for assault, property damage, and reckless endangerment, according to the SPD Blotter. In West Seattle, mark your calendars for the rescheduled Southwest Precinct Advisory Council meeting on February 17 at 6:30 pm in the community room at 2300 SW Webster, a great chance to chat with officers about local concerns.

    Our weather is a gift today, with high pressure bringing sunny skies and mild temps around 52 degrees, perfect for Pike Place strolls or walks along the waterfront. Expect more sunshine through the weekend, highs near 51 degrees, so dust off those sunglasses.

    On the sports front, our Seattle Kraken hit the ice tonight visiting Utah in Western Conference action, carrying a solid 21 wins into the matchup.

    City Hall updates include ongoing efforts to address park safety, directly impacting our daily outings. No big new business openings, but keep an eye on community events like neighborhood cleanups spurred by the park news. Local schools report strong winter sports starts, with West Seattle Highs varsity girls basketball winning their last two.

    For a feel-good note, residents near the park shared stories of rallying to support those in need, turning challenges into community bonds.

  • Arson Probe, Shooting Investigated, Machete Standoff: Seattle News Roundup

    Arson Probe, Shooting Investigated, Machete Standoff: Seattle News Roundup
    2026/01/15
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, January 15th. We start with breaking news from Capitol Hill, where Seattle police are investigating an intentionally set fire at Cinnaholic Bakery yesterday. They have released suspect images and urge anyone with information to come forward. In South Lake Union, authorities are probing an alleged road rage shooting late Wednesday morning, and a 19-year-old was injured in a drive-by in South Park Tuesday night. Over the past day, officers arrested a 47-year-old man after an hours-long machete standoff and a felon carrying illegal knives in Chinatown-International District. We share these facts sensitively to keep our community safe.

    Shifting to city hall updates, Governor Bob Ferguson used his State of the State address to push housing investments, a new tax on the wealthiest, and repairs for our flood-damaged roads and bridges, estimated at 40 to 50 million dollars. These moves aim to ease daily commutes and open up more homes amid tight real estate, where median prices hover around 800,000 dollars.

    On a cultural note, the historic Varsity Theatre in the University District closes this week after 80 years, marking the end of an era for movie lovers near the Ave.

    Weather today brings patchy fog in the morning giving way to partly sunny skies, with highs near 50 degrees. Perfect for outdoor plans, though northeast winds up to 10 miles per hour might chill things by evening. Expect clearing clouds into a crisp week ahead.

    Sports fans, the Seahawks host the 49ers Saturday at Lumen Field, and they are teaming with the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network to measure fan cheers shaking the ground. Pioneer Square businesses anticipate big crowds and a sales boost.

    New business activity includes that sad Varsity closure, but look for US Postal Service honoring Bruce Lee with a Forever stamp ceremony next month at a Seattle site.

    Upcoming, catch Seahawks fever this weekend, and community events like Pike Place Market strolls under these sunny skies.

    In feel-good news, deputies used a drone with thermal imaging to safely find a missing 27-year-old Kirkland woman in woods near Chateau Ste. Michelle. A win for our first responders.
