Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Did Seattle score big With the FIFA World Cup? (keyw.com) — Seattle's World Cup hosting appears to have paid off financially, with about $32 million in city spending generating an estimated $889 million in economic impact and $109 million in state sales tax. While airport traffic stayed roughly flat, higher international attendance, watch parties, and an extra match boosted local bars, restaurants near Lumen Field, and tourism-dependent businesses across the city.
2. Seattle police release new details in deadly Belltown shooting (fox13seattle.com) — Seattle police say they've identified everyone involved in the Sept. 6 Belltown shooting that killed 20-year-old Isaac Rios and injured two others, and will soon send the case to King County prosecutors. Family members are gathering nightly at Rios' memorial, questioning the police response time and seeking answers about what led to the street takeover confrontation near 3rd Avenue and Clay Street.
3. Post-Metal Legends NEUROSIS Announce Latest Tour Dates (blogspot.com) — Neurosis has added a Seattle stop to its upcoming tour, with a Showbox SODO date on November 29, 2026, featuring special guests still to be announced. The band will also play major venues in San Francisco, Portland, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, and Europe, giving Seattle metal fans plenty of time to plan for tickets and travel.
4. Norwegian Stoner Metallers KAL-EL to kick off North American tour next week! (blogspot.com) — Norwegian stoner metal band KAL-EL is bringing its fall North American tour to Seattle's Funhouse on October 3, alongside Goya and Black Moon Cult on most dates. The announcement details their recent albums, critical acclaim, and full run of U.S. and Canadian stops so local metal fans can catch this rare, heavy-hitting show.
5. Leaving the Nest for the Unknown? — FTVLive (ftvlive.com) — A WRAL anchor is reportedly leaving Raleigh's highly regarded newsroom to join KING-TV in Seattle, raising questions about moving from a family-owned station to a large corporate-owned outlet. The piece highlights uncertainty around Tegna and Nexstar's maneuvering and what that might mean for Seattle's TV news future and journalistic stability.
