📰 News we're reading

• Major I-405 closure, SR 520 lane restrictions this weekend (kiro7.com) — Northbound I-405 between Renton and Bellevue will be completely closed this weekend, with all lanes shut from late Friday night through early Monday morning near Coal Creek Parkway. Expect heavy delays, ramp closures, and crowded detours on SR 900 and Coal Creek Parkway, plus lane restrictions on SR 520 in Redmond, so Bellevue drivers should plan alternate routes and extra travel time.
   

• High school football roundup: Enumclaw beats rival, Puyallup downs Lake Stevens (thenewstribune.com) — Puyallup's football team just capped a huge non-league run that included a win over 3A No. 1 Bellevue, reinforcing the Wolverines' status among Washington's elite programs. The roundup also highlights Enumclaw's rivalry victory over White River and Graham-Kapowsin's dominant performance, setting the stage for a competitive fall where Bellevue fans could see more marquee matchups.
   

• AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon plans diverge on AI-RAN (fierce-network.com) — T‑Mobile's AI‑RAN Innovation Center in Bellevue is at the heart of a major industry debate over whether future wireless networks should rely on GPUs or CPUs to power AI-driven radio access. As T‑Mobile leans into GPU-heavy partnerships with Nokia and Nvidia, rivals AT&T and Verizon are taking more cautious or mixed approaches, shaping how next‑generation connectivity could evolve for customers nationwide.
