📰 News we're reading

• Bus route changes, cancellations coming to Sound Transit this week (king5.com) — Sound Transit is eliminating several express bus routes and redesigning others as Eastside riders increasingly rely on the new 2 Line light rail between Bellevue and Seattle. Routes like 515, 550, and 554 will be cut, while others are shortened, boosted on weekends, or turned into new overnight "Night Bus" options that could significantly alter daily commutes.
   

• Men's Clothing Store UNTUCKit Closes at Bellevue Square (downtownbellevue.com) — UNTUCKit has permanently closed its only Washington store at Bellevue Square, ending roughly seven years in its first-level space along Bellevue Way NE. The closure follows other tenant changes at the mall, while several menswear retailers remain and no replacement for the space has been announced with the City of Bellevue yet.
   

• Bellevue lowers speed limits on all neighborhood streets (theolympian.com) — If you drive Bellevue's neighborhood streets, expect new 20 mph limits as the city begins replacing signs this week, starting in north Bellevue. The change, aimed at cutting speeding and crashes, covers nearly two-thirds of city streets and follows successful pilot zones that saw big drops in high-end speeding, especially in Eastgate neighborhoods.
