    West Seattle Burglaries, Kraken Win, and Community Cleanup: Seattle Local Pulse for February 5th

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, February 5th. We start with breaking news from West Seattle, where burglars hit hard early Tuesday morning around 5am on California Avenue SW. Lula Coffee at 4451 California SW lost an electronic tablet after the front door lock was punched out, and surveillance caught a hooded white male suspect. Just blocks away at Walters slash Upwell on 4811 California SW, two white males in a white SUV pried off the lock and grabbed items inside. A bit later, Benbow Room on SW Admiral Way had pry marks but turned out to be just an attempt, with a noisy pinball machine fooling everyone. SPD lifted prints and urges tips on cases 26-032404, 26-032408, and 26-032444. Stay vigilant, listeners, especially business owners. Shifting to sports, our Seattle Kraken wrapped the pre-Olympic break on a high note, beating the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 Wednesday night. Shane Wright lit it up with two goals, Vince Dunn and Adam Larsson added tallies, and Joey Daccord stopped 25 shots. They head into the break third in the Pacific Division, 11-6-2 this year. Go Kraken. Weather today brings mostly cloudy skies with temps around 40 degrees in West Seattle, light winds from the north at 5 miles per hour, and no precip. Bundle up for outdoor plans near the waterfront, but its dry enough for walks in Discovery Park. Outlook stays mild through the weekend, highs nearing 60 by Friday before showers creep back. City Hall updates include T-Mobile announcing hundreds of layoffs across Washington, hitting our job market. Real estate holds steady with median home prices around 850,000 dollars, up 5 percent year over year.

    Protesters march against ICE, mayor vows to clear homeless camps, and Kraken edge Golden Knights in Seattle Local Pulse

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, February 1. We kick off with breaking news from downtown, where protesters marched through the streets yesterday against ICE immigration tactics, drawing crowds from Pioneer Square to Westlake Center. KIRO 7 reports the peaceful rally highlighted tensions, and now our police union pushes back hard against the mayor's stance barring feds from local enforcement, saying it risks public safety. City Hall updates tie into this too, as the new mayor vows to clear homeless encampments ahead of the World Cup at Lumen Field, planning 500 new shelter spots like tiny homes near Ballard and the University of Washington by June. That means real changes for daily life, with sweeps resuming but delays in some spots to balance compassion and urgency. Weather wise, we enjoyed near-record warmth yesterday, topping 59 degrees at Sea-Tac, but a soaker hits today with patchy rain picking up after midnight, highs around 50, and several tenths of an inch expected. Bundle up for outdoor plans, listeners, as winds stay light from the southeast. On the sports front, our Seattle Kraken edged the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 last night at T-Mobile Park, keeping our playoff hopes alive with strong third-period play. New business buzz includes pop-ups near Capitol Hill, while real estate sees median home prices holding at about 850,000 dollars, up 5 percent year-over-year, fueling job growth in tech around South Lake Union with 10,000 openings posted last month. Crime report from the past day stays calm: no major incidents, just routine patrols and a public safety alert for slippery streets downtown from overnight moisture. Looking ahead, catch community events like free jazz at the Tractor Tavern tomorrow and a food truck fest in Fremont on Tuesday. Shoutout to Roosevelt High's basketball team for their upset win over rivals Friday. And a feel-good note: neighbors in Queen Anne rallied to restore a historic mural on Queen Anne Avenue, bringing us all together.

    Seattle Shutdown: Community Stands Against ICE Policies

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, January 31st. We're starting this morning with major developments happening right now in our region. Yesterday, January 30th, Seattle joined a nationwide general strike and shutdown organized by activist groups protesting ICE policies. It was a significant day for our community. Several of our beloved local institutions closed their doors in solidarity. The Seattle Art Museum and Tacoma Art Museum both shut down, with museum leadership acknowledging the emotional impact these policies have on our neighbors and communities across the country. Meanwhile, Hood Famous Cafe and Bar closed in protest, posting on social media that they were standing with the nationwide shutdown and refusing service to ICE officials or supporters. Students at the University of Washington gathered in Red Square to make their voices heard as well. While most businesses stayed open, many Seattle entrepreneurs chose a different path, donating portions of their proceeds to support communities affected by these policies, particularly in Minneapolis where these issues have become a focal point nationally. The union representing fifty thousand grocery and healthcare workers across Washington, Idaho and Oregon voiced their support for the shutdown, emphasizing that stopping the flow of money is what creates real pressure for change. On the political front, Congress passed a partial funding deal yesterday. The Senate approved funding for most government operations through the end of September, but there's a critical exception. The Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE, will only receive funding for the next two weeks. That means Congress will be revisiting this issue very soon, and our community will be watching closely. Looking at today's weather, we're expecting moderate rain throughout the day with temperatures hovering around fifty degrees. According to local forecasts, we'll see steady rain with winds picking up as the afternoon progresses. It's the kind of day that keeps Seattle looking like Seattle, so bundle up if you're heading out and bring an umbrella. On a brighter note, the Seattle Kraken take on the Vegas Golden Knights tonight at home. If you're looking for something to do this weekend, catching some hockey might be the perfect escape from the wet weather. For anyone heading out today, just remember the rain is here, but our community's spirit remains strong. We've seen that clearly over the past day with so many local businesses and institutions taking a stand for what they believe in. This has been Seattle Local Pulse.

    Seattle Shooting Verdict, School Immigration Protocols, National Shutdown Closures

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, January 30th, 2026. We're starting this morning with a major development in a case that's been weighing on our city for years. A King County jury has ordered Seattle to pay more than thirty million dollars over the fatal shooting of sixteen year old Antonio Mays Jr. at the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone back in 2020. The jury found the city negligent in its emergency response after Mays was shot in the head near the protest zone. According to court documents, first responders wouldn't enter the area, so witnesses tried bringing him to get medical help by private vehicle. It took about twenty four minutes before they connected with paramedics in a parking lot. The jury determined that delay contributed to his death. Seattle will pay four million to Mays' estate and twenty six million to his father, Antonio Mays Sr. The city's attorney office says they're considering their legal options, but acknowledges this remains a tragedy for our community. On the education front, Seattle Public Schools is launching new protocols for how staff respond if immigration officers are spotted near school property. This comes after six south Seattle schools went into shelter in place last week following unfounded rumors of ICE activity nearby. School staff never actually saw any immigration officers despite the reports. The new guidelines will have staff ask any federal agents to remain in public areas like parking lots rather than entering school buildings, and only school leaders can grant permission for them to access other areas. Several local organizations and businesses are participating in a National Shutdown today aimed at drawing attention to immigration enforcement concerns. More than a thousand organizations across forty six states are taking part. In West Seattle, businesses like Pegasus Book Exchange and Meeples Games are closed in support. Others like Easy Street Records and Thunder Road Guitars are staying open but donating portions of their sales to local immigrant rights organizations. Explorer West Middle School and the Fauntleroy Children's Center are also closed for the day. Looking at the weather, we're expecting sunny skies with a high around seventeen degrees Celsius, or about sixty three degrees Fahrenheit, with light northwesterly winds. It's a nice day to get outside if you're not participating in today's shutdown activities. As we head into the weekend, conditions remain mild with a chance of rain developing by Sunday.
