Last update: 3 hours ago

Seattle Public Safety: Councilmember Bob Kettle is pressing Mayor Katie Wilson to deliver a comprehensive public safety plan and turn surveillance cameras back on after recent shootings, including incidents near dark cameras in Pioneer Square and around the Bite of Seattle. Seattle Politics & Elections: Washington’s Secretary of State certified the Aug. 4 primary results and set up the November ballot order; a Legislative District 42 state Senate race will go to a manual recount after a four-vote separation. Boeing Labor: Boeing’s largest white-collar union, SPEEA, rejected a proposed four-year contract and authorized a strike if talks fail before early-October contract expirations. Kalshi Legal Fight: Kalshi asked a Washington court to reconsider an order blocking most of its prediction market operations, arguing Washington is treating Kalshi differently than a competitor allowed to keep operating while cases play out. Immigration Enforcement Oversight: King County created a dedicated role to monitor ICE charter activity at Boeing Field, aiming for more transparency after community pressure. Spokane Wildfire Recovery: Spokane received $1 million in state housing assistance for wildfire survivors, with expanded eligibility and help routed through Goodwill. Wildfire Policy: The Trump administration proposed repealing the Roadless Rule, opening public comment through Sept. 21 and raising wildfire-risk and environmental concerns in Skagit and Whatcom counties. Sports & Culture: The Seattle Times columnist Matt Calkins resigned after editors reportedly spiked a column tied to the transgender athletes debate in women’s sports, adding to the broader media and culture fight.
