📰 News we're reading
1. 6 Redwood City Residents Among SMC Death Notices (patch.com) — Redwood City readers are being notified that six local residents are among 21 San Mateo County individuals whose deaths were reported by the county coroner between August 17 and 23. The notice lists each person's name, age, and hometown, and explains that these reports cover deaths handled by the coroner but not hospice cases. Families are also directed to information on how to post full obituaries. 
2. Woman Spots Elaborate Scam Before Handing Over Cash, Suspect Arrested In SF: Police (patch.com) — A Redwood City woman helped police thwart an elaborate phone scam that led to the arrest of a suspected cash courier in San Francisco, and she lost no money thanks to her quick action. Redwood City police coordinated with San Francisco officers after the suspect's car fled the neighborhood, ultimately jailing a Fresno man on multiple fraud-related charges.
3. New lease on life-sciences? Biotech takes 700K sf at former Google campus in Redwood City (therealdeal.com) — Redwood City–based Revolution Medicines plans to lease 700,000 square feet at Pacific Shores Center, nearly doubling its local footprint and giving new life to the former Google campus on Seaport Boulevard. The expansion, tied to the company's advancing cancer drug pipeline, stands out amid a softer Bay Area life-sciences market with rising lab vacancies.
4. Bank of America Branch Closures Now Surge Before Year Ends (franknez.com) — If you bank at the Bank of America on Redwood Shores Parkway in Redwood City, be prepared: that branch is slated to close as part of a nationwide consolidation affecting 24 locations. The article ties these shutdowns to a slowing, more digital-focused economy, raising concerns for residents—especially seniors—who still rely on in-person banking.
