概要

Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, April 18th, 2026.

We're starting this weekend with some exciting developments around our city's preparation for the World Cup coming this summer. Seattle organizations and residents have been working hard to make a great impression on the nearly 750,000 visitors we're expecting. In a major cleanup effort, they've successfully removed approximately 5.3 million pounds of waste from our streets. That's a tremendous community effort that shows our commitment to putting our best foot forward.

Speaking of community involvement, if you're looking to get outside today and make a difference, Gonzaga alumni and friends are gathering at Duthie Hill Park in Issaquah from 10 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon for an Earth Day trail maintenance project. It's free to join, they're providing pizza and beverages, and you'll be helping restore the trails that so many of us enjoy. It's one of those feel-good ways to spend part of your Saturday.

Down at City Hall, there's been significant pushback against a new data center proposal. In just about 30 hours, more than 37,000 letters supporting a moratorium on new data centers have been sent to city council. This reflects growing concerns in our community about how new development affects our neighborhoods and infrastructure. The Seattle Police Officers Guild has also been vocal this week, raising concerns about the city's immigration policy and its potential impact on public safety, so that's a conversation continuing to develop at the municipal level.

On the crime front, we want to alert our listeners that Seattle Police investigated a string of three armed robberies that occurred overnight earlier this week. Officers are actively investigating these incidents, so if you have any information, we encourage you to reach out to the department.

For those looking for entertainment this weekend, we've got some great options. The Washington State Spring Fair is running through tomorrow at the Puyallup Fairgrounds with rides, animals, local music, and shopping. Admission is 11 to 17 dollars, and it's free for kids five and under. If you're a sports fan, the Seattle Torrent takes on the Vancouver Goldeneyes this afternoon at 2 p.m. at Climate Pledge Arena. And if theater is more your speed, Les Misérables is touring through Seattle with a performance this afternoon as well.

Looking at the weather, the National Weather Service is forecasting a high near 56 degrees today under mostly sunny skies with light winds. So it's a great day to get out and enjoy what Seattle has to offer.
