概要

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.
