At-Risk Long Beach Man Found; Search Continues For Missing Woman (patch.com) — Long Beach police say a 74-year-old at-risk man who went missing earlier in the week has been safely located at a local hospital, but they are still searching for 37-year-old Danielle Rich, who has cognitive issues. Officers describe where she was last seen in Long Beach, what she was wearing, and identifying details including a flower tattoo, and urge residents to call LBPD or Crime Stoppers with any tips.
   

2. Evacuations Lifted After Powerful Surf Damages Long Beach Peninsula: Reports (patch.com) — Long Beach Peninsula residents evacuated from about 20 oceanfront homes are being allowed back after inspections found no properties needed to be red-tagged, though one was yellow-tagged. City crews are repairing the damaged seawall and closed boardwalk, while residents describe homes shaking from powerful surf linked to distant storm Marie and officials warn the neighborhood faces growing climate-related risks.
   

3. Bluecore Raises $50M As Long Beach Nuclear Plan Advances (patch.com) — Long Beach residents are watching a homegrown nuclear startup, Bluecore Energy, rapidly advance its floating reactor project at the Port of Long Beach after securing $50 million in new funding. The company is testing a non-nuclear prototype that already desalinates seawater on-site, while working with federal regulators and planning to eventually send offshore reactors' power back to the port via subsea cables.
   

4. Long Beach will raise parking tickets to avoid library cuts in last-minute budget maneuver (lbpost.com) — Long Beach leaders have approved a $4 billion city budget that raises many parking tickets to $100 and increases cannabis taxes to preserve library hours and some specialized police positions. The plan still cuts about 180 jobs, trims fire service near Colorado Lagoon, and only partially funds the Long Beach Justice Fund, sparking debate among councilmembers over fairness and priorities.
