概要

 Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, March 12. We kick off with the weather dominating our day, listeners. Heavy mountain snow and gusty winds up to 50 miles per hour hammered the Cascades overnight, triggering a blizzard warning through early this morning at Snoqualmie and Stevens Pass. I-90 shut down both ways around the summit yesterday due to spinouts near North Bend, but it fully reopened by dawn, according to WSDOT. Strong winds knocked out power to tens of thousands across western Washington, with falling trees damaging lines in Puget Sound spots like Whidbey Island and Hood Canal. Expect a brief lull today with mid-40s highs around Sea-Tac Airport, lighter showers, and winds easing by morning, but another atmospheric river rolls in this afternoon, bringing steady lowland rain through Friday and 1 to 3 more feet of Cascade snow. Plan indoor activities or chain up if heading east—drive safe out there.

Shifting to the roads, SR-99 stays closed through Friday near the waterfront for maintenance, so we reroute via I-5 or Aurora Avenue. City Hall approved a new bike lane expansion on 4th Avenue downtown yesterday, easing commutes for daily cyclists amid this wet spell.

On public safety, Tukwila police arrested a man with a DOC escape warrant linked to a prior murder conviction last night—no threat to our neighborhoods. Power crews restored most outages by morning, but check Puget Sound Energy for lingering spots.

New business buzz: The USS Nimitz made its final departure from Bremerton Naval Base yesterday, marking the end of an era for local jobs tied to the carrier. A skier at Stevens Pass survived an avalanche burial thanks to his phone app and quick thinking—talk about wife's intuition saving the day.

Sports note: Local high schools shone with Roosevelt High's basketball team clinching a district win over Ballard last night. Looking ahead, community cleanup at Discovery Park happens Saturday, rain or shine.

We wrap with a feel-good: Neighbors in Federal Way rallied to clear storm debris from Graham Street, sharing hot coffee and stories—pure Seattle spirit.
