We start with breaking news from Wallingford. Seattle police have arrested a 25-year-old man in connection with the tragic house fire that claimed the life of a 72-year-old woman last month. The department says this arrest is a major development in a case that shook the neighborhood. Meanwhile, an AMBER Alert issued Thursday for an abducted child in the area has ended with the child safely found.
If you’re getting around the city this weekend, heads up: The Washington State Department of Transportation warns of significant road closures throughout Puget Sound. Plan extra time if you’re headed out, and consider alternatives like transit or biking, especially with events drawing crowds.
Weather-wise, it’s a gorgeous summer day. Expect sunshine and temperatures climbing into the low to mid-80s, with only a few clouds early on. It’s perfect festival weather, but fire officials remind us the risk of wildfires remains elevated, especially with burn bans in place for some surrounding counties. Stay cautious if you’re outdoors and keep those burn restrictions in mind. Looking ahead, we could see temps flirt with the 90s by midweek, so keep that sunscreen handy.
Now for some good news from city hall. This weekend marks the One Seattle Day of Service, and yesterday, volunteers joined Mayor Bruce Harrell downtown for a massive cleanup and block party. The city’s taken a positive tone, celebrating fewer shootings and overdoses compared to last year. Still, challenges linger, with downtown office vacancies over 30 percent and foot traffic slow to recover.
One Seattle institution, Nordstrom, is experimenting with new approaches to bring people back to the retail core, building on the momentum from community events like this weekend’s.
Summer is in full swing, and there’s truly something for everyone. West Seattle Summer Fest wraps up today, with live music, a bustling food court near KeyBank, family activities, and local merchants filling California Avenue through 5 p.m. The Kids Zone is a hit, and discounted ride options from LIME are available to help you skip the parking hassle. Over in Fremont, expect plenty of arts and food pop-ups as the neighborhood embraces the summer vibe.
On the sports front, the Seattle Mariners just crushed it last night, racking up a season-high 15 runs and 19 hits against the Detroit Tigers. That’s over 27 runs scored in just two games, something they haven’t done since 2021. Spirits are high as we root for another win today.
Job seekers and those interested in real estate may want to note that while the city has seen a nearly 10 percent population increase recently, office vacancies remain high and the job market, especially for downtown retail and service roles, is still in flux.
For education, a quick shout-out to local schools celebrating strong summer program turnout and to the high school robotics team from Ballard that earned second place in last week’s Pacific Northwest regional finals.
On the crime front, police report that overall crime and shootings are down this year, but there were a few notable incidents: an armed bank robbery suspect is facing charges after handing notes to employees at several Seattle banks, and a shooting at a Motel 6 in Fife resulted in two people hospitalized and five in custody. Public safety remains a city priority, and police are encouraging anyone with information on recent incidents to come forward.
And for a feel-good story, a 13-year-old from Sedro-Woolley is being called a hero after pulling an 11-year-old to safety from Silver Lake near Everett this week. Community members are rallying to celebrate the young rescuer’s bravery.
Before we go, don’t forget: Pier 58 is reopening on July 25th, adding another spot for summer fun on the waterfront. And music lovers, keep an ear out—iconic dance station C89.5 faces an uncertain future due to proposed federal funding cuts. Support your local arts if you can.
