  • "Affordable Housing Boost, Safer Commutes, and Earth Day Events in Seattle"

    "Affordable Housing Boost, Safer Commutes, and Earth Day Events in Seattle"
    2025/04/22
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 22nd. We’re waking up today with updated street improvements across the city. Work crews are repairing major thoroughfares, aiming to make our commutes safer and smoother. If you’re heading through Capitol Hill or downtown, expect some lane closures and slower traffic, but the long-term plan is to boost walkability and speed up transit routes.

    In breaking news, the Seattle City Council is moving forward with historic investments in affordable housing. With rents still climbing and apartments averaging just 649 square feet, the smallest in the country, the city is focusing on getting more units built fast, especially studios and one-bedrooms. Fewer than one in five new units have two bedrooms or more, so families searching for space might find their options limited, but the city is hoping upcoming zoning changes will bring some relief.

    Let’s take a look at today’s weather. We’re starting with scattered clouds and mild spring temps in the high fifties. Expect a few light showers by mid-afternoon, especially near Green Lake and up on Queen Anne Hill. If you’ve got outdoor plans, like hitting the parks for Earth Day events, bring a light rain jacket, but it should clear up by the evening. Looking ahead, we’ll see steady spring conditions for the rest of the week, with a chance of warmer sunshine by Friday.

    There’s plenty happening on the community front. Volunteers are meeting at Frink Park for an Earth Day forest restoration project this morning, pulling invasive plants and prepping for next winter’s planting. Over at Seattle University, the annual Earth Talks celebration kicks off at noon, bringing inspiring five-minute presentations about caring for our common home and even a discussion around artificial intelligence.

    Music lovers, the THING Festival just announced its summer lineup and tickets go on presale today. Big names like The Roots, Father John Misty, and Orville Peck will play in Carnation across four Saturdays in August. Festival passes include access to Remlinger Farms and free parking, with shuttle rides from Seattle on offer.

    On the sports scene, the Mariners brought some excitement last night, powering past the Blue Jays 8 to 3 with home runs from Raleigh and Tellez. The Seahawks are weighing quarterback options as the NFL draft approaches, and Kraken fans can look forward to news about possible ticket deals and even whispers about the Sonics making a comeback.

    Turning to real estate, property trends show more units but less space, with developers doubling down on micro-apartments. The job scene remains competitive, especially in tech and healthcare, and several small businesses are eyeing new locations, especially in Ballard and South Lake Union.

    In public safety, Seattle Fire responded overnight to a series of aid calls, including an overdose near South Jackson Street and several medical emergencies downtown. The city continues to push resources for mental health and addiction support. We also want to acknowledge the loss felt at Garfield High, where students gathered for a vigil after the tragic shooting of a student at a Yakima party this weekend.

    For a feel-good finish, let’s salute a Roosevelt High robotics team, who just clinched a spot at nationals after a stellar performance at last weekend’s regional competition.

    This has been Seattle Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Weekend Rallies, Affordable Housing, and Community Cleanups: Your Seattle Local Pulse Update

    Weekend Rallies, Affordable Housing, and Community Cleanups: Your Seattle Local Pulse Update
    2025/04/19
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, April 19th, 2025.

    As we start our weekend, our big story is a wave of grassroots protests planned for today across Seattle and much of the country. Hundreds of rallies have been announced nationwide in protest against recent Trump administration policies, including coordinated efforts under what’s being called the 50501 Movement. Here in Seattle, we’ll see events on multiple I-5 overpasses, at Seattle Central College in Capitol Hill, and in neighborhoods like Ballard and Lake City. Organizers are calling on neighbors to show up between ten this morning and four this afternoon, so if you’re driving near downtown or through West Seattle, expect some traffic delays and increased police presence. The mood has been described as determined but peaceful, with a focus on building community and supporting each other during these uncertain times.

    Shifting to City Hall, yesterday the council made headlines by approving new emergency funding for affordable housing near Northgate and endorsing two new bus rapid transit lines, one to Bellevue and another to West Seattle. These moves aim to ease the housing crunch and improve commuting options, and we can expect to see visible progress later this year.

    Weatherwise, we’re waking up to patchy clouds with a chance of a brief sunbreak around noon, but light showers are likely by late afternoon. Temperatures will hover in the mid-50s, so pack a rain jacket if you’re headed to any of today’s rallies or out to the farmers markets. Looking ahead to Sunday, expect more of the same—cloudy with a chance of showers.

    On the business front, a popular local diner, The Early Bird on Capitol Hill, is celebrating its reopening today with free pastries until noon after a month-long renovation. Meanwhile, Ballard’s beloved bookstore, The Open Page, sadly announced it will close its historic Market Street location next month after nearly forty years, citing rising rents but offering hope for a new chapter online.

    For job seekers, the Seattle area unemployment rate remains steady at just under four percent, but local tech job listings are climbing back up, with Amazon and several startups offering dozens of new openings in software, logistics, and green energy roles.

    Around the community, Garfield High School’s robotics team just clinched second place at the regional championships and will head to nationals next week—a big win for our students and STEM programs. Over in Queen Anne, yesterday’s Little League opener drew a standing-room-only crowd at David Rogers Park, with the Mariners—our local little leaguers, not the pros—pulling off a last-inning rally for the win.

    On the safety front, Seattle police responded overnight to a robbery at a convenience store on Rainier Avenue South; one arrest was made and no injuries reported. Officers remind everyone to take care when out after dark, especially near public transit hubs.

    To end on a high note, volunteers gathered along Alki Beach yesterday for the first of a series of spring cleanups, collecting over six hundred pounds of litter and restoring shoreline habitat. Kids, parents, and neighbors worked side by side, and their efforts really made a difference.

    That’s it for today. This has been Seattle Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Seattle Local Pulse: Rescue, Tax Overhaul, Warm Weather, and More

    Seattle Local Pulse: Rescue, Tax Overhaul, Warm Weather, and More
    2025/04/17
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, April 17. We begin with a dramatic rescue in West Seattle yesterday afternoon, where two people were pulled from an overturned car after a serious collision. Thankfully, Seattle Fire crews report both patients are now in stable condition, and police arrested one person at the scene. We’ll share updates as more details come in.

    Turning to city hall, lawmakers are actively discussing a significant $12 billion tax overhaul that could impact education funding and local services. The goal is to balance budgets and keep crucial programs running smoothly in our neighborhoods. Meanwhile, area businesses are voicing concerns over new tariffs, with some local exporters warning of rising costs and price hikes that could soon reach consumers.

    Checking on the weather, we’re waking up to mild temperatures in the mid-50s, with clouds lingering this morning. Expect the mercury to climb to the mid-60s by afternoon, and we might see a few sun breaks. Tomorrow is shaping up even warmer, pushing into the 70s, so get outside if you can. If you’re planning outdoor activities today, just keep a light jacket handy in case our famous mist rolls in.

    In real estate, the Seattle market continues to buzz. Median home prices have edged up again, with the latest numbers hovering just above $825,000. Realtors say demand remains strong, especially near Ballard and West Seattle, but higher mortgage rates mean it’s a competitive landscape for both buyers and renters.

    On the job front, local tech and retail employers have posted more than 2,100 positions citywide in the past week, with hiring especially active in health care and logistics. For those job hunting, many openings are clustered near South Lake Union and the International District, so be sure to check postings daily.

    Culturally, Seattle is alive this week. The Fairmont Olympic Hotel is hosting a unique event combining sustainable fashion with afternoon tea, drawing designers and eco-minded shoppers downtown. Looking ahead, don’t miss the Ballard Art Walk this Saturday, or the Seattle Symphony’s outdoor pop-up concert at Cal Anderson Park on Friday evening.

    On the sports scene, the Mariners continue their home stretch after Raleigh and Miller led the team to a 5-3 victory over the Reds last night. Local high schools also notched big wins, with Garfield’s varsity soccer squad securing a playoff berth in a thrilling finish at Memorial Stadium.

    Turning to public safety, Seattle police responded to an armed robbery at a South Seattle grocery store yesterday, which led to a chase and several arrests. Officers seized modified firearms from a juvenile suspect. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. Elsewhere, a concerning incident at city crosswalks grabbed headlines, with several signals hacked to play prank messages. The city assures us crews are investigating and working to secure the system.

    On a positive note, Woodland Cemetery is bringing new life to its grounds with thriving bee hives that support urban pollination and give families a special way to honor loved ones.

    That’s our Seattle Local Pulse for today. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
