 Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, November sixteenth, twenty twenty-five. We start today with the big story at city hall, where fresh energy is filling the Mayor’s office. Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson, a longtime transit advocate and democratic socialist, has claimed victory over Bruce Harrell and is already signaling an ambitious agenda to support working families and address affordable housing. Many local workers say they feel hopeful for change, yet remain eager for concrete steps on issues like wages, food security, and transit improvements. Discussions are also heating up, with rallies this weekend at the Seattle Labor Temple focusing on the potential for a general strike as unions and non-union workers seek meaningful progress on everyday concerns like healthcare, wages, and assistance programs.

Let’s take a look at the weather, which could be a real spoiler for any outdoor plans today. We are waking up to drizzly rain with temperatures hovering around the low fifties. Expect light to moderate rain all day, steady winds, and humidity near ninety percent. Grab that umbrella on your way out and plan for slick roads in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and Ballard. The rain will persist into Monday, with a possible break and some clouds mixed with sun midweek.

Turning to a significant public safety development, the Seattle Police Department has released body camera footage from a tense scene in Sodo last week, at Fifth Avenue South and South Holgate Street. Officers responded to a report of a man with an ax. After a brief pursuit, the man pulled what appeared to be a handgun, leading to an officer-involved shooting. The man, identified by the King County Medical Examiner as Jack Paleli, died at the scene. This marks the first police shooting since new oversight rules took effect following the lifting of the federal consent decree. The incident remains under independent investigation.

In local business news, West Seattle marked a feel-good milestone as Carmilia’s Boutique celebrates twenty-three years on California Avenue. Meanwhile, the 34th District Democrats highlighted especially strong voter turnout this month, with voter participation at fifty-two percent, outpacing the city average—a win for community engagement.

On the real estate front, affordable housing remains a pressing topic, with neighborhood groups advocating for comprehensive planning and expanded transit service to boost access and equity. In jobs, the unemployment rate across King County has edged upward in recent months, though tech and transit sectors continue to hire.

For sports fans, the Kraken energized Climate Pledge Arena last night with a gritty victory over the San Jose Sharks. Jaden Schwartz scored twice and Philipp Grubauer made nineteen saves in relief after Matt Murray was injured in the first period. That brings the Kraken to nine wins so far this season, and fans are hopeful for a playoff push. Over at Husky Stadium, Adam Mohammed rushed for three touchdowns, helping Washington trounce Purdue forty-nine to thirteen, keeping the Huskies firmly in the playoff hunt.

In schools, Roosevelt High’s debate team advanced to state finals while Ballard soccer heads to the semifinals after a thrilling overtime win Friday night.

If you are looking for community events this week, Monday brings a Light Rail Visioning Forum for the 34th District focused on future transit investments. And in Georgetown, the Rain City Jazz Festival returns for its third year, featuring local favorites at Engine House Nine.

A quick feel-good story to close: volunteers with Seattle Parks and the Rainier Beach community spent Saturday planting trees near Seward Park, building a greener future for all.
