 Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, November 1st. As we welcome a new month, we’re waking up to cloudy skies and bracing for a wet and windy Saturday. Forecasters say we should expect rain moving in through late morning with gusty winds hitting their peak between 10 and 2 o’clock this afternoon. We’re looking at gusts up to 50 miles per hour downtown, so if you’re heading to Pike Place Market or planning a walk around Green Lake, grab your rain jackets and keep an eye on those tree branches. This storm is not expected to be as intense as last weekend’s, but it will pack a punch, with rain lingering into the evening and possibly heavy at times. Saturday’s highs should reach the upper 50s, tapering off to showers by Sunday morning, so we have a classic Seattle November weekend ahead.In breaking local news, thousands of families across Seattle and Washington woke up still waiting for their November food assistance. Because of the ongoing government shutdown, SNAP benefits are temporarily delayed, and the USDA has received a court order to figure out how to get payments back on track by Monday. That means many who rely on food stamps won’t see deposits this weekend. We’re seeing some incredible kindness in action, though, as neighbors in South Seattle, especially along Rainier Avenue and Beacon Hill, are restocking Little Free Pantries to help their community through the gap. Nearly three hundred thousand children in our state depend on this help to stay healthy and ready for school, so acts like these are making a real difference.Over to city hall, Mayor Bruce Harrell is expected to address the SNAP benefits situation later today and is encouraging residents to check in with local food resource programs. Seattle Public Schools also reminds families that the WIC program remains open, so support is available for families with young kids. In other city news, election season is ramping up, with local candidates making final pushes in neighborhoods across Ballard, Capitol Hill, and West Seattle as important votes on police funding and housing policy take center stage next week.On the jobs front, we’re seeing the city’s unemployment rate holding steady around four percent. Tech companies along South Lake Union are cautiously reopening new hiring pipelines, especially for entry-level roles and healthcare support, while several locally owned retail shops on University Way and Broadway are advertising part-time holiday positions. Downtown, a handful of new restaurants have opened their doors just in time for the drizzle season, including a much-anticipated dim sum spot near Chinatown-International District.In real estate, Seattle’s median home price hovers near $840,000, with condo sales gaining momentum as first-time buyers look for affordable alternatives in Belltown and Northgate. Rental demand remains high, but new listings are slowly helping stabilize prices, easing pressure in neighborhoods like Fremont and Columbia City.Turning to sports, our Seattle Sounders are preparing for their playoff opener tomorrow at Lumen Field, hoping to build on last week’s thrilling come-from-behind win. Garfield High School’s girls soccer team clinched their district title, and Roosevelt’s debate team took home the top prize at the citywide championships—congrats to all those stellar students.On the crime report, Seattle Police are searching for a missing 15-year-old, last seen Thursday night near Greenwood Avenue North and North 110th Street, described as a white male around 5 foot 8, wearing a navy hoodie. Anyone with information should contact SPD immediately. Police also made an arrest after a brief pursuit in South Seattle connected to several recent burglaries, and officers on Aurora Avenue responded quickly to a reported stabbing, which is now under investigation. No major injuries were reported in that incident.For music and culture lovers, the Paramount Theatre has a sold-out jazz showcase tonight, and the Seattle Art Museum is debuting a new modern sculpture exhibit this weekend. Saturday’s Phinney Neighborhood Center Harvest Festival may move some activities indoors due to weather, but the community spirit is sure to shine no matter the clouds.If you need a feel-good moment, we want to highlight Ali Thomas and his family in South Seattle. They’ve been quietly keeping their Little Free Pantry stocked every morning so neighbors don’t go hungry, a simple act that is touching so many lives, especially on weekends like this.Thanks for tuning in to Local Pulse today, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a morning update.
