1.

After a year of community meetings, residents have highlighted needs around affordable housing, traffic, jobs, wellness programs, and flood resilience, which will shape project agreements and upcoming city review meetings this fall.
2. Man arrested after entering Sequoia High campus, police say (rwcpulse.com) — A Redwood City man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly entering Sequoia High School's campus without authorization while carrying a metal file, prompting intervention by the school's liaison officer.

Residents with information are urged to contact local police.
3. Partial verdict for San Mateo couple accused of trafficking Chinese nanny (mercurynews.com) — A human trafficking case tied to a Chinese nanny ended in a partial verdict at the Redwood City courthouse, with jurors convicting Qi Li of felony assault and criminal threats but deadlocking on trafficking-related charges against him and Jie Xu.

4. Previews and predictions for every Northern 5A/4A high school football game in Week 4 (nevadasportsnet.com) — Reno High's football team is traveling to face Sequoia High in Redwood City, giving local fans a chance to see the Huskies take on the Ravens at home.
