 Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, October 23rd.

We kick off today with breaking news overnight in Ballard, where a fatal hit-and-run occurred just after ten on the 7300 block of 15th Avenue Northwest. Seattle police and the fire department responded, but the pedestrian, a 56-year-old man, did not survive. The suspected vehicle, a silver sedan, is still at large, and investigators are urging anyone with information to contact the Traffic Collision Investigation Squad. Our hearts go out to the victim’s loved ones.

The city is also dealing with persistent property crime. Over in Eastlake, Serafina, a beloved local restaurant along Eastlake Avenue, was hit with its twenty-fifth break-in since 2020, despite increased security and ongoing pleas to city leaders. The latest attempt early Wednesday morning saw the suspect flee empty-handed after the security system activated. Owner Christian Chandler is calling again for more police presence and support from City Hall, where council members say police hiring is still a key priority. Business owners in Eastlake and elsewhere continue to face real challenges trying to keep their doors open.

Weather-wise, we wake up to heavy low clouds and patchy fog blanketing much of the city, making for a cautious commute. The National Weather Service advises turning on headlights and keeping a safe distance, especially westbound along major corridors. The rest of today will stay overcast, with temperatures topping out in the low 60s and only a slight chance for afternoon rain. It’s dry for now, but with a possible atmospheric river heading our way later this week, expect rain and gusty winds starting Friday, surf advisories on the coast, and mountain snow by the weekend.

In real estate, the market remains steady. Homes in neighborhoods like Green Lake and Beacon Hill are selling quickly, with average prices around $820,000, while rental rates across the city are holding at about twenty-five hundred per month for a two-bedroom. Job seekers, take note—local tech and clean energy firms are posting more than three hundred open positions this week, from software engineers to project managers.

Community events are lively as we ease into the weekend. The Seattle Art Museum opens its new interactive exhibit Friday evening, while the Ballard Night Market brings food trucks and craft vendors to Ballard Avenue. On Saturday, Roosevelt High’s marching band will perform in Cal Anderson Park at noon, and don’t miss the annual Dia de los Muertos celebration at El Centro de la Raza on Beacon Hill, starting two o’clock.

On the sports front, the Sounders clinched a win against the Portland Timbers last night at Lumen Field, and Garfield High’s girls’ soccer team topped their division with a victory over Rainier Beach. Seattle Public Schools also announced finalists for the Washington STEM Innovation Award—including Franklin Elementary’s robotics club, recognized for their creative engineering model.

For a feel-good story, we look south to Columbia City, where neighbors joined with local shops to collect hundreds of warm coats for youth ahead of the cold stretch. Little gestures like this are what make our city special.
