• Bomb found in stolen car after Bellevue, WA shoplifting arrest (fox13seattle.com) — Bellevue police say a Sunday evening shoplifting call near Northeast 8th Street and 156th Avenue NE led them to arrest a 30-year-old suspect and discover a stolen car containing a viable homemade explosive device. The bomb squad safely dismantled the device, and the man was booked into King County Jail on multiple weapons, assault, and obstruction charges, with additional warrants noted by authorities.
• Haven Headache & Migraine Center Expands to Washington with Bellevue Acquisition (levinassociates.com) — Bellevue residents dealing with chronic headaches or migraines may soon see changes at Bellevue Headache Clinic, which has been acquired by Haven Headache & Migraine Center. The deal, announced October 5, brings the California-based specialty provider into Washington for the first time, aiming to expand access to evidence-based headache and migraine care in the region.
• Arab-American advocacy group demands Washington schools teach students Hamas' Oct. 7 massacre linked to Gaza 'genocide' (thepostmillennial.com) — Bellevue School District is pushing back on an outside campaign urging an Oct. 7 student walkout at Sammamish High, calling some promotional rhetoric antisemitic and warning absences will be unexcused. Civil rights groups CAIR-WA and Washington for Peace and Justice are pressuring Bellevue to change how it describes the Hamas attacks and Gaza, highlighting a growing clash over how local schools talk about October 7 and student protests.
