📰 News we're reading

• Starbucks weekend closures include at least six Washington shops (newsbreak.com) — Some Starbucks locations in Redmond are closed this weekend, so if you rely on a particular shop for your coffee run, meeting spot, or study break, you'll want to double-check its status in the app before heading out. The closures, also affecting Seattle, Spokane, and Vancouver, highlight how dependent local routines are on a few familiar cafes and may briefly shift business to nearby independents.
   

• Nintendo of America Posts a September 30th vs October 1st Image With No Caption (happygamer.com) — Nintendo of America's official X account, based in Redmond, quietly posted a cryptic "September 30th vs October 1st" image with no caption or explanation. So far there's no confirmed link to any game, hardware, or event, just two dates and a picture that fans are freely interpreting. Until Nintendo follows up, there's nothing concrete for Redmond gamers to act on.
