• West Seattle community fundraising to help preserve Alki Beach's Statue of Liberty (komonews.com) — Neighbors in West Seattle are raising $5,000 to repair and protect the beloved Statue of Liberty replica at Alki Beach, as its pedestal is cracking and seams are failing. The Alki Community Council, working with Seattle Parks and Recreation, hopes to complete the preservation work by early spring 2027 and will use extra donations to replenish the statue's dwindling maintenance fund.
• Signs are growing that autumn is on the way for Seattle (emeraldcityweather.com) — Seattle is enjoying comfortably sunny days with a bit of morning gray as the city slides quickly toward true autumn, which officially arrives Tuesday evening. A local forecaster explains how record highs are dropping, daylight is shrinking, and our famously wet season is only weeks away, while reassuring sun‑lovers that several more bright days are still on tap this week.
• Exclusive: Lakshmi Puri Relaunches 'Swallowing the Sun' at JLF Seattle 2026 (southasianherald.com) — Residents just wrapped up Jaipur Literature Festival's Seattle edition at the downtown Seattle Public Library, where diplomat and author Lakshmi Puri relaunched the international edition of her novel "Swallowing the Sun."
