Airport Repair Plan: The Port of Bellingham set a 30-day closure for Bellingham International Airport’s runway rehab in summer 2027, from July 20 to Aug. 19, with a $25 million project largely funded by the FAA—sparking worries from frequent flyers about detours to Sea-Tac. Homelessness Oversight: Seattle and King County leaders are pressing for answers on the King County Regional Homelessness Authority after a state audit found messy accounting and a $45 million deficit, with a city council deadline looming on what to do next. Public Safety & Health: Public Health is monitoring a fourth King County resident for Andes hantavirus tied to the MV Hondius cruise outbreak, while Seattle police investigate a man who allegedly hid inside a Fremont vintage shop overnight. Sanitation Upgrade: Seattle rolled out new free Pioneer Square restrooms using a QR/text access system, aiming to avoid the vandalism problems that sank earlier toilet efforts.
