 Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, October 18. We start our day with citywide anticipation as thousands of our neighbors prepare to gather for the No Kings rally and march. Organizers expect up to seventy thousand demonstrators to fill Seattle Center and stream through downtown starting around noon, with some groups beginning their march from the Seattle Ferry Terminal at eleven. Event organizers and city officials have emphasized that protest actions will be peaceful, and are committed to keeping everyone safe as they call out against the Trump administration’s policies. Protesters from across Western Washington are joining, with smaller rallies planned in West Seattle, Shoreline, and Lake Forest Park. As folks head out, be ready for traffic delays and closed streets in and around Seattle Center from late morning until evening. If you’re traveling near Queen Anne, Denny Way, or Mercer Street, public transit and biking will be your friend today.

Let’s talk about our weather. We woke up under gray skies, and clouds will be keeping temperatures in check all day. We’ll see sprinkles through much of the morning and into the afternoon, with rain picking up this evening. Daytime highs will hover in the low fifties, so it’s best to keep those umbrellas handy, especially if you’re planning to join the marches or any outdoor events. Boaters should pay attention to a small craft advisory from six this evening through early Sunday morning. By late tonight, expect patchy fog and steady showers across the region.

On the city beat, local schools are celebrating as Garfield High’s girls soccer team clinched a playoff berth after last night’s gritty 2-1 victory at Memorial Stadium. Elsewhere, Roosevelt students achieved a first-place finish in the statewide STEM challenge—congratulations, scholars.

In business news, Pike Place Market is welcoming a new bakery, Flour & Hearth, opening its doors next to the fish throwers. Meanwhile, the iconic Benjamin’s Books on Capitol Hill is closing down after fifty years, citing rising rents and changing reading habits. Job postings remain steady with roughly twenty-two hundred open positions today, especially in tech and healthcare. For those looking to rent, the latest data puts the average one-bedroom listing in central Seattle at around twenty-two hundred dollars a month—still high, but holding flat compared to September.

For culture and music, tonight is the opening reception for the Indigenous Art Now exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum. Local bands Sable & Ash and Blue Midnight are playing at Neumos. If you want a family-friendly outing, the Green Lake Pumpkin Dash for kids kicks off at ten thirty near East Green Lake Beach.

Seattle police are reporting a quiet night overall, with a couple of property thefts around First Avenue and minor arrests related to last night’s rally preparation. Officers remind us to stay alert near large gatherings and report any suspicious behavior. As always, public safety remains a top priority.

Before we wrap up, here’s a feel-good story. Volunteers from Ballard’s Heart for the Homeless program spent yesterday handing out more than five hundred warm meals and hundreds of new rain ponchos to folks living near Leary Way. Their efforts drew support from local businesses and even a couple of middle schoolers, who skipped afternoon classes to lend a hand.
