Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? š¤ (Answer below!)
1. Seattle Environmental Review Deemed Inadequate by Growth Management Hearings Board (news-usa.today) ā Seattle's comprehensive growth plan has largely cleared a major legal hurdle, but the state Growth Management Hearings Board ruled the city's environmental review too narrow and ordered more analysis within a year. For Seattle residents, that means the overall housing and zoning blueprint can move ahead, yet key environmental questions around tree canopy, stormwater, and traffic impacts still need deeper study that could influence future neighborhood projects.
