Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for March 22, 2025.
We're starting with some breaking news from yesterday afternoon. A man with a knife was shot and killed by police outside the Southwest Precinct in West Seattle. Chief Shon Barnes reported that officers attempted to use less-lethal methods before one officer discharged their firearm. The incident is under investigation, and body camera footage is expected to be released within 72 hours.
In city hall news, the Attorney General's office staff held a walkout on Thursday to protest proposed budget cuts and furloughs. Union representatives are urging residents to contact their state legislators about these cuts, which they say could impact important work for our state.
The weather's looking a bit gloomy today, with a high of 46 degrees and a chance of rain. If you're heading to any outdoor events, be sure to bring a jacket and umbrella.
On the business front, we're excited to share that a new cafe has opened its doors on Pike Street. The Emerald Bean is serving up locally roasted coffee and homemade pastries, adding a fresh spot to our vibrant coffee scene.
Looking ahead to community events, don't forget about the 6th Annual Running of the Beavers 5K Walk/Run happening today at Ballard High School. It's a great way to support our local schools and get some exercise.
In sports news, the Seahawks have made a big move, signing Washington native and former Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp. This homecoming is sure to excite local fans as we look forward to the upcoming season.
We've got some exciting news from the education world. Seattle University's women's softball team is on a hot streak, winning their last seven games. They're currently undefeated in conference play with a 6-0 record.
On the real estate front, the spring home buying season is heating up. Local realtors are reporting increased activity, with the average home price in Seattle now hovering around $850,000.
In a feel-good story from our community, the Twin sisters from the University of Washington won gold and silver medals in pole vault at the NCAA Indoor Championships. It's always great to see our local athletes excelling on the national stage.
Today's crime report includes an arrest made in connection with a stranger rape near the University of Washington. Police describe the suspect as houseless and known to frequent the University District. Residents are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
On a lighter note, if you're a fan of ultimate frisbee, Seattle Public Schools is partnering with DiscNW to coordinate a fall program at the K-8 and middle school levels. It's a great opportunity for kids to try out this growing sport.
This has been Seattle Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
