    Crash Closes 509, Stabbing in White Center, Missing Man Found Safe - Seattle Local Pulse, September 14, 2025

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, September 14, 2025. We start our day with breaking news out of West Seattle. Overnight, a fatal crash shut down southbound Highway 509 at Cloverdale. State Troopers report that a 50-year-old man on a motorcycle was killed near the Myers Way exit after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in a white Toyota. The driver sped off, and investigators are asking for tips from anyone who may have witnessed the incident. The highway reopened at 4:30 this morning, but the investigation continues. Last night, just past 9, the King County Sheriff’s office responded to a stabbing and robbery near the bus stop at 15th and Roxbury on the north White Center side. The victim is recovering at Harborview, and deputies quickly detained a suspect who already had a felony warrant. Authorities ask anyone with information to come forward, and at this time there’s no broader risk to the community. On a hopeful note, Seattle Police confirm that Yukio, a missing and endangered man who was last seen near Meridian Avenue North and the Burke-Gilman Trail, was found safe and reunited with his family. Stories like these are a testament to the power of community vigilance. Our weather today is classic September Seattle, with patchy fog early in the morning and some showers tapering off as we head into the afternoon. Winds from the northwest will keep things breezy near the Sound, with temperatures sticking to the upper 60s. We can expect a few more showers tonight and a mostly cloudy Monday, so bring those layers if you’re heading outside. If you’re looking for something to do, today’s Fiestas Patrias Parade brought color and energy to South Park, with Grand Marshal Steven C. González leading the way and folkloric dancing groups celebrating Latin American heritage. Over in West Seattle, the Evergreen Ensemble performs at Holy Rosary Church this afternoon with a concert themed Where You Belong at 3 o’clock. Tonight, The Alley hosts local jazz from the Triangular Jazztet behind 4509 California Avenue. Alki Kayak Tours on Harbor Avenue wraps up its end-of-season boat and gear sale today, offering deals on used kayaks and paddleboards. For thrifty shoppers, Razzie’s Junk Removal celebrates one year at the old Tony’s Market on 35th and Barton with a name-your-price sale until 4 o’clock. At City Hall, the big update is Seattle Public Utilities ramping up for a two-year project to replace a culvert along 45th Avenue SW. If you live nearby, the city’s holding a public briefing soon to answer questions on how the work will affect your routine. Looking to the job market and real estate, Seattle’s unemployment rate is holding steady around four percent. Reports from realtors show median home prices across King County hovering close to $850,000, with competitive bidding still common on homes near Green Lake, West Seattle, and Columbia City. For local sports fans, the Seahawks face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers for NFL Week 2. All eyes are on our defense after last week’s close call. In high school sports, the Ballard Beavers girls soccer squad just notched back-to-back shutouts, and Garfield students took top honors in the All-State Music Showcase. For our feel-good moment, a West Seattle resident near 60th and Stevens credits neighbors for rallying to help him recover a lost dog after a frantic weekend search. It’s yet another reminder of the strong bonds in our Seattle neighborhoods. Before we go, a heads up that Seattle Fire and the Washington National Guard will be running rescue helicopter drills over South Park, White Center, and southeast West Seattle this Tuesday and Wednesday from ten to two. Don’t be alarmed if you spot low-flying aircraft—this is all part of keeping our emergency response teams sharp. Thanks for tuning in. Be sure to subscribe so you never miss an update.

    Seattle Crime Updates, Weather, Community Events, and More - Seattle Local Pulse, Sep 13

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, September 13, 2025. We wake to some breaking news out of South Lake Union, where police made an arrest following a stabbing on Wednesday night near Belltown. Public safety remains our top priority, and Seattle police have assured our community the investigation is ongoing and there’s no current threat to the public. In other crime updates, city council’s recent vote has expanded CCTV and surveillance tools for the Real-Time Crime Center, aiming to improve neighborhood safety across Seattle. Remember, if you see something unusual downtown or near Seattle Center, the non-emergency line is always there. Switching gears to the weather, make the most of your Saturday. We’ll see mostly cloudy skies at first, then the sun will break through by afternoon and temps climb to a pleasant 75 degrees. Winds are calm early but pick up gently from the southwest later. Saturday night, clouds roll back in and there’s a 30 percent chance of rain after dark. Sunday is a different story: expect rain, likely starting mid-morning and lasting most of the day, with cooler temps around 67 degrees. If you’re heading to Volunteer Park for the Palestine Will Live Forever festival or a game at T-Mobile Park, pack a light jacket and maybe an umbrella just in case. Speaking of festivals, Capitol Hill’s Volunteer Park is buzzing all day today. Macklemore headlines the Palestine Will Live Forever benefit, joining community leaders, artists, and organizers from noon to 9 pm. Tickets are available at the gate, and proceeds help relief efforts in Palestine. The atmosphere is festive, focused on art, culture, and solidarity, so it's a great family outing. For our sports fans, it’s a packed weekend. The Seattle Mariners host evening games tonight and tomorrow afternoon at T-Mobile Park, with traffic and crowd control in place. Soccer lovers can catch the Sounders at Lumen Field at 5:30 p.m. Saturday and Seattle Reign on Sunday at the same stadium. High school football saw Chief Sealth International pick up back-to-back wins last night, continuing their impressive streak. Transit riders, be aware of bus reroutes in South Park for the Sea Mar Fiestas Patrias Parade and in Queen Anne for the On The Block event. Several routes like 60, 132, and RapidRide E Line are impacted today. Plus, the I-90 bridge eastbound lanes are closed through the weekend, so plan travel to Mercer Island accordingly. Seattle’s monorail and water taxi offer reliable alternate options for getting downtown or out to West Seattle with extra service all weekend. In city government, King County faces scrutiny as an audit uncovered possible grant fraud worth tens of millions in the Department of Community and Human Services. City Hall is also debating new plans for behavioral health crisis care on Broadway, with community members urging council to delay the project for further review. On the job front, openings in tech and healthcare continue to outpace other sectors, but closures like the popular Unicorn bar on Capitol Hill, shuttered for electrical repairs, remind us how quickly things change. Real estate sees steady movement with median home prices holding near eight hundred thousand dollars, though experts say sellers should expect longer times on the market. In education, Seattle students announced a walkout Monday at the district office, pushing back on the new two-lunch schedule. Meanwhile, Washington test scores show improvement in English, science, and math—something for our schools and parents to celebrate heading into fall. Our feel-good story today: seven neighbors in Tacoma are safe after a fire swept through two houses early yesterday. Quick work by firefighters and volunteers helped all residents escape unharmed, and donations for those displaced are pouring in from the local community.

    Morning Fog, Stabbing Arrests, and a Boost in Affordable Housing for Seattle

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, September 12th, 2025. We wake up to morning fog and clouds blanketing our neighborhoods, especially around Lake Washington and Green Lake. By midday, we’ll get that September sunshine peeking through, with temperatures climbing to the low seventies. If you’re heading out for a walk or the Farmer’s Market, plan on comfortable, mild weather—though you might want a light jacket early on. Looking ahead, the pattern sticks around through Saturday, but expect some showers to roll in on Sunday, making it a good time to start putting away the outdoor gear. In breaking news, police made quick work downtown on Wednesday evening, arresting a suspect after a stabbing near South Lake Union. The victim is recovering after prompt attention from first responders on Westlake. Overnight, Seattle City Council approved two major ordinances expanding the police department’s use of surveillance cameras citywide. Leaders say this move will help curb property crimes and improve real-time response right in our own busy streets and parks. Public safety is on edge this week. Crime Stoppers just upped rewards after a string of burglaries targeted small businesses from Ballard to the Central District. One smoke shop owner on Rainier Avenue is cleaning up after thieves smashed his storefront for the second time in just three nights. From city hall, all eyes are on the future as councilmembers meet today for one last public hearing to help shape Seattle’s growth for the next 20 years. Residents from West Seattle to Capitol Hill can voice their opinions on proposed rezoning and the comprehensive city plan that will guide housing, parks, and transportation well into 2045. Turning to real estate, the big story for Seattle in September is the easing of mortgage rates. At six point two percent, rates are the lowest we’ve seen all year, giving hundreds of buyers permission to take the leap. We now have almost three months of inventory, meaning more choices even as sellers still hold most of the cards. The average sale price sits just under nine hundred ninety five thousand dollars, with most homes selling within thirty four days. Mayor Bruce Harrell also announced a three hundred forty nine million dollar proposal for affordable housing, aiming to help thousands more Seattleites find stability next year. Over in business, Waymo’s self-driving cars are making headlines. The very first test runs are happening this weekend on Capitol Hill and South Lake Union, so keep an eye out for those sleek, driverless vehicles navigating our busy intersections. Meanwhile, Microsoft shared that their Puget Sound employees will be the first in the country to test out new, flexible work schedules in January, a move likely to ripple through office life and job opportunities across the region. For our cultural calendar, tonight marks the start of the Bumbershoot Music Festival at Seattle Center, with acts ranging from indie folk to electronica taking the stage beneath the Space Needle. On Saturday, Seward Park hosts the annual Pacific Northwest Kite Festival, a great pick for families. School sports saw Roosevelt High’s soccer team clinch a nail-biting win last night, while Garfield’s debate squad took home first at the statewide invitational. In college sports, UW Huskies gear up for their Saturday night showdown at Husky Stadium, looking to stay undefeated. One feel-good story for this Friday: Seattle Parks just launched a new volunteer-led gardening program at Jefferson Park, drawing dozens of neighbors to spruce up paths and plant native wildflowers. We’re seeing real pride bloom right along Beacon Avenue. Thanks for tuning in. Remember to subscribe for daily updates. This has been Seattle Local Pulse.

    Seattle Local Pulse: Perfect Weather for Outdoor Plans, Affordable Housing Expansion, and Jazz Festival Kicks Off

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, September eleventh. We’re waking up to mostly sunny skies, with highs expected in the low seventies. Sunrise was at six forty-one this morning, and we’ll see the sun set at seven twenty-eight. Today’s weather feels just about perfect for outdoor plans, with only a slight breeze and no rain in the forecast. If you’re heading east or looking for ferries, the Washington State Ferries has all three boats running on the Triangle Route, including the Kittitas, Issaquah, and Sealth, so commutes on the water should go smoothly according to local transit updates. On city streets, crews have moved construction on Sixteenth Avenue further north to the SW Holden area, so expect minor delays if you’re cruising through West Seattle or heading for the High Bridge. All Metro bus lines are running as planned. Cameras on main bridges and Delridge keep showing steady traffic, so your morning drive should be routine. If you spot any problems along the bridges or major intersections around Genesee, Juneau, or Thistle, city services ask that we call the local hotline after contacting authorities—community reporting helps keep things moving. From City Hall, the big decision this week revolves around expanding affordable housing units near Rainier Avenue, with plans for two hundred new apartments approved just yesterday. This will mean more options for families and renters who’ve struggled with rising prices, so it’s a welcome sign for locals. Looking at the job market, the tech sector continues to add new postings, with well over five hundred fresh openings this week, mostly in cloud computing and healthcare. Local business news is mixed; the historic Ballard Bookstore will close its doors after forty years, citing shifting retail habits. But there’s excitement around Pike Place as a new bakery specializing in gluten-free pastries just opened, drawing crowds for its soft launch. Culture and music lovers, get ready for a lively weekend: The Seattle International Jazz Festival launches Friday night at Benaroya Hall and runs through Sunday, with headline acts, open-air performances at Westlake Park, and family-friendly workshops. Meanwhile, the Mariners are aiming to build momentum in their homestand with another six-forty game tonight against the Angels at T-Mobile Park—the buzz downtown is palpable. On the high school front, Garfield’s girls’ soccer squad clinched a critical win over Roosevelt last night, putting them at the top of the conference. On the crime and safety watch, police responded late last night to a break-in on California Avenue near Admiral, apprehending a suspect believed responsible for a string of burglaries in the area. No injuries reported, and the local precinct is crediting quick citizen calls for the resolution. There are no major safety alerts for today, but authorities remind us to stay aware and report any suspicious activity. Wrapping up with good news, volunteers from Green Lake organized a cleanup yesterday that collected over two tons of litter from park paths and waterfronts, helping wildlife and neighbors enjoy cleaner spaces. Their effort shows that positive change happens one step at a time. Thank you for tuning in and remember to subscribe so you never miss a local update. This has been Seattle Local Pulse.

    Seattle Morning Pulse: Northgate Fire, Weather, Jobs, Housing, and Community Updates

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, September 7th, 2025. As we kick off this morning, crews in Northgate are still at the scene of a major two-alarm fire that broke out in a vacant building on First Avenue Northeast last night. The fire blocked traffic in the area for hours, but Seattle Fire reports no injuries so far. The cause is still under investigation, and we will keep listeners updated as officials release details. Stepping outside right now, the weather is definitely making itself known. We are dealing with overcast skies, some morning fog, and a high around 17 degrees Celsius, that’s the mid-60s Fahrenheit, with humidity above eighty percent. There’s a light breeze, and a chance of lingering thundery showers. Though skies will remain gray most of the day, we expect conditions to clear a bit by late afternoon. The air quality, which dropped to unhealthy levels Friday due to area wildfires, is slowly improving but remains a concern, especially for those with respiratory issues. If you suffer from asthma or other conditions, consider limiting your time outdoors until the haze fully lifts. In other news, downtown is seeing another shakeup as a long-time Capitol Hill favorite, Pour House Café, closed its doors for the final time on Friday after nearly twenty years. The block will see a new coworking space open in its place this October. Meanwhile, the Seattle job market remains steady, with unemployment holding at just over three percent. Warehousing and tech continue to lead in job postings, and recruiters are seeing a mild uptick in remote roles heading into the fall. The housing market is still tight, but the median home price in Seattle is hovering just under 850-thousand dollars—up slightly from last month. Buyers are still facing tough competition, but inventory is starting to improve as new listings come online, particularly in Ballard and West Seattle. From City Hall, Mayor Harrell is urging council action this week on downtown homelessness strategies, focusing on a pilot program to expand shelter capacity near Pike Place. Meanwhile, the city’s urban tree ordinance is now in effect, adding new protections for old-growth trees and stricter guidelines for developers. For families, big congrats go out to Roosevelt High’s robotics club for taking first prize in the statewide STEM challenge held yesterday. On the sports front, the UW Huskies football team is riding high after a flawless blowout win over UC Davis, making history with a 5-and-0 season start. The Mariners wrap up their series against Atlanta this afternoon at Truist Park with Luis Castillo on the mound. Looking ahead, the Fremont Oktoberfest kicks off Friday, and tickets are still available for the Bumbershoot Afterparty at the Museum of Pop Culture. Meanwhile, the city’s Music at the Market series brings free live jazz to Pike Place on Tuesday at lunchtime—perfect if you need a mood lift in the middle of the week. Our feel-good story today comes from the Green Lake neighborhood, where local volunteers organized a sunset litter cleanup last night, collecting over twenty bags of trash and making the park sparkle. It was great to see so many families, students, and seniors pitching in for their community. Turning to public safety, Seattle Police are increasing foot patrols in the SODO district after a string of late-night car break-ins. Officers arrested two suspects early this morning near South Lander and Fourth Avenue. Police remind everyone to keep valuables out of sight and report suspicious activity.

    Weekend Wildfires, Police Reform, and Community Spirit - Seattle Local Pulse

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, September 6th, 2025. Breaking news out of our region as wildfires continue to threaten parts of the state. Near Mount Rainier National Park, a get-set evacuation order is in place for the Wildcat Fire, which has now burned over six thousand acres in Yakima County and is causing disruptions for communities along Goose Prairie and Bumping River Road. Meanwhile, Mason County’s Bear Gulch Fire has scorched more than ten thousand acres near Lake Cushman, with containment dropping to just under ten percent. Though Seattle is far enough from the danger, the resulting haze and occasional smoke could be in the air off and on today, so folks with respiratory sensitivities may want to take care if spending time outside, especially near parks or the waterfront. Speaking of the weather, it looks like a mostly cloudy day ahead for us, with highs hovering in the low to mid seventies and some light wind. There’s a chance of showers later this afternoon and overnight, so plan accordingly for outdoor plans or community events. Tomorrow, we’re expecting more of those clouds and scattered showers, with highs staying pretty mild, around seventy. Turning to City Hall, this week marks a significant milestone: The Department of Justice has officially returned full control of police practices back to the City of Seattle, supporting the city’s motion to end federal oversight after many years of reform efforts. This move signals progress on transparency and accountability for public safety. Mayor Harrell is also pitching a citywide initiative to improve food access, aiming to bring fresh groceries and healthy meals closer to neighborhoods currently lacking options. Safety is also in the headlines with the closure of three city parks due to a recent rise in safety incidents. The city’s prioritizing security reviews and improvements. Meanwhile, authorities arrested a suspect after high-speed pursuits linked to multiple car thefts in both Seattle and south of the city. Police remind us to report suspicious activity promptly and follow local alerts. On the real estate front, Seattle home prices continue to hold steady with the median around eight hundred seventy thousand. Inventory is up slightly, which gives buyers a little more choice, but sellers are still seeing brisk movement for homes near good schools and transit. The job market remains robust, with tech and healthcare leading the way and several hundred new postings across Amazon, Microsoft, and UW Medical Center this week. Music and culture are bustling this weekend. Capitol Hill is abuzz with local artists at the Cal Anderson Park Autumn Arts Festival, and Bumbershoot wraps up at Seattle Center Sunday, featuring headliners on multiple stages. Fans of the Seattle Storm will want to mark their calendars for the Hall of Fame ceremony honoring Sue Bird, our homegrown legend. Community events include Sunday’s South Lake Union Food Walk, with dozens of eateries set up for tasting and music all along Westlake. If you are looking for something family-friendly, the Green Lake Community Center has a back-to-school carnival with free activities for kids today. In education and sports, big kudos to Chief Sealth High School football, who kicked off their season with a decisive win against Hockinson, powering to a thirty-three to six victory. Their next game is this Friday against Franklin at Southwest Athletic Complex, and excitement is already building for the annual Huling Bowl rivalry. For a feel-good story as we wrap up, West Seattle neighbors rallied this past week to renovate a community garden on California Avenue. Families and volunteers of all ages came together, planting flowers and adding picnic tables so everyone has a spot to relax and connect.

    Seattle Local Pulse: Wildfire Smoke, Waterfront Reopening, and Community Resilience

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, September 5th, 2025. We are waking up this morning to warm and hazy skies across Seattle. Our high today should touch around eighty-four degrees, but that beautiful sun will be filtered through wildfire smoke again. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency lets us know air quality is sitting at moderate, so if you have breathing concerns, take it easy outside. The National Weather Service expects these hazy, dry conditions—and the smoky sunsets and that red moon we saw last night—to carry right through the weekend. At City Hall, Mayor Bruce Harrell is making headlines today with a new budget proposal that aims to tackle Seattle’s rising food insecurity. He’s proposing almost twelve million dollars in added investments for food access. This means three million more for local food banks like FamilyWorks, expanded funds for mobile food pantries and home deliveries for those who can’t get out, plus extra financial support for grocery stores across town facing retail theft and property damage. There’s an additional million dollars set aside to provide hot meals year-round to youth, seniors, and our unhoused neighbors. The mayor will also push for legislation in Olympia to exempt groceries and pharmacies from state business taxes to keep these crucial retailers open. Down at the waterfront, after over fifteen years and more than eight hundred million dollars, we are officially set to celebrate the grand reopening of Seattle’s central waterfront. Twenty acres are now revitalized from Railroad Way South near the stadiums all the way up to Pier 62 and the Aquarium. Expect festivities along the water this weekend and check out the new public spaces for a fresh view of the Sound. Turning to real estate, Seattle’s market continues to stay busy. Analysts estimate about a hundred and eighty homes listed this week, with prices for median single-family houses hovering near nine hundred thousand dollars. On the job front, tech and health care remain strong with several local startups announcing plans to hire, and we’ve seen about one hundred new postings posted since Monday. For our music and arts lovers, the Capitol Hill Block Party is back this weekend, drawing local acts and headliners to Pike and Pine. Fremont’s Sunday Market returns with live music and fresh local produce, and the Pacific Science Center is launching a space exhibit that promises hands-on fun for families. Our schools are making us proud. Roosevelt High took home a win in volleyball last night, and Garfield’s STEM team is being recognized for a robotics breakthrough. Congratulations to all our students and their hardworking coaches. In community news, the Beacon Hill neighbors came together yesterday, planting four hundred drought-tolerant trees in the new Rainier Valley greenbelt. Volunteers say this effort will help cool our streets and clean the air during smoky days just like these. On the public safety front, Seattle Police are investigating a burglary overnight near Queen Anne Avenue. Arrests were made quickly, and officers credit nearby witnesses for their fast calls. No injuries were reported, but as always, keep an eye out for your neighbors. This has been Seattle Local Pulse. Thank you for tuning in.

    Seattle Morning Update: Car Crash, School Zones, New High School, and Neighborhood Rallies

    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, September fourth. We wake up to misty skies over the Sound, with temperatures hanging near seventy degrees this morning, forecast to climb into the mid-eighties by this afternoon as a warm-up sweeps in. Humidity is sticking around, so if you’ve got plans for outdoor activities, keep some water close and expect a muggy feel. That sun will break through later, making for a gentle and mostly dry day—perfect for getting outside after our recent stretch of rain. We’re following a breaking story from downtown, where overnight a car collided with a King County Metro bus near the Sephora store on Pine Street. Police are investigating what led up to the crash, which briefly closed the intersection but thankfully caused only minor injuries and some storefront damage. There’s also a reminder from the city: thirty-seven new school zone speed cameras go live this week, so let’s take it easy near schools and help keep our kids safe as the academic year ramps up. Speaking of schools, students at Seattle Academy are settling into a new chapter with a brand-new high school building on Capitol Hill. The five-story facility, located at Twelfth and Union, opened its doors right on schedule, giving students access to fresh classrooms, modern labs, and a dramatic atrium entrance. It’s a welcome sight for families and staff who watched construction throughout the summer. City Hall announced upgrades to pedestrian islands at Tenth and Pike. The Seattle Department of Transportation is tweaking the new design after feedback from emergency responders. Their goal is to keep the busy nightlife corridor safe for walkers while ensuring fire and police can move quickly during calls. In real estate news, over in Pierce County, a warehouse just changed hands for over twenty-one million dollars—the latest sign that the region’s logistics and distribution sector remains strong even as other markets slow. Local hiring is up at tech firms and construction outfits, with about fourteen hundred new postings citywide this week, particularly in software, hospital care, and skilled trades. On the music front, we’ve got a roster of concerts headed into the weekend. The Crocodile welcomes indie favorites tomorrow night and Capitol Hill’s Chop Suey has a local jazz showcase Saturday. Meanwhile, sports fans are watching the Mariners closely as they head into a pivotal away series. Our high school soccer teams are celebrating the start of fall season, with Garfield picking up a big win over Franklin on Rainier Avenue last night. For personal interest, a quiet hero emerged in Fremont when a neighborly group rallied to help an elderly Navy veteran recover from a costly home repair scam—donating time and supplies to fix up his roof and restore his sense of security. Seattle Police report a busy twenty-four hours. The high-speed chase across western Washington ended peacefully near Northgate, with the suspect in custody. In White Center, a late-night shooting left one woman injured; police say she was an innocent bystander, and their investigation continues. Multiple Glock switch incidents have raised alarm, with officers urging the public to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity. Wrapping up, here’s what’s ahead in the community. The Ballard Farmers Market rolls into Sunday, offering fresh produce and live music. Lake Union Park is set for an outdoor film night tomorrow and there are family-friendly art workshops at Madison Library over the weekend. Thanks for tuning in and remember to subscribe for more.
