📰 News we're reading
• Three Months In: A Conversation with North Bend Police Chief Ed Hall (livingsnoqualmie.com) — North Bend’s new police chief explains how King County Sheriff’s Office deputies, including those driving cars marked for SeaTac and other contract cities, are currently filling local shifts under a regional “flex model.” He notes that North Bend officers sometimes transport arrestees to the SCORE jail in SeaTac, with other deputies backfilling coverage so the city isn’t left unprotected. The conversation also covers call volumes, response times, traffic complaints, and community outreach. 
• Seattle trail and Federal Way hotel among locations of drug fatalities (kpq.com) — A recent roundup of King County Medical Examiner reports includes a drug-related death at a SeaTac residence, ruled an accidental overdose involving fentanyl. The list, which spans multiple cities, underscores the region-wide toll of combined drug intoxications. SeaTac residents may find it a sobering reminder of local risks tied to powerful synthetic opioids.
