Today's riddle: Who's in favor of bringing back Roman Numerals? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Attacker bites chunk out of woman's face in downtown Seattle hate crime (komonews.com) — A woman was seriously injured in a suspected hate crime assault in downtown Seattle, where a stranger allegedly used racist and homophobic slurs before biting off a piece of her forehead. Police say a witness helped track the suspect, who was arrested nearby, and the case has been referred to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office for potential felony and hate crime charges.
2. Seattle Coyotes Thrive in City Parks, Eating Rabbits and Berries (610kona.com) — Coyotes are thriving in Seattle's parks, greenbelts, and even some neighborhoods, with new research showing their density far exceeds that of Washington's wildlands. For Seattle residents, experts urge simple precautions like not feeding wildlife, securing garbage, and closely watching small pets, since abundant rabbits and berries are helping these adaptable predators settle comfortably into city life.
3. King County Judge to decide whether teen accused of killing five family members will be tried as adult (king5.com) — A King County judge in Seattle is weighing whether a 17-year-old accused of killing his parents and three siblings will be tried as a juvenile or an adult, a decision that will dramatically affect his potential sentence. After two weeks of testimony about alleged abuse, mental illness, and the brutality of the shootings, the judge will review the evidence and issue a ruling before the October 14 court date.
4. Seattle breast cancer survivor pushes for more inclusive care ahead of More Than Pink Walk (kiro7.com) — A Seattle breast cancer survivor is urging more inclusive care while preparing to join the Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk at Woodland Park Zoo this Saturday. Their story highlights how non-binary and other patients can struggle to find affirming support, and encourages neighbors facing breast cancer to lean on local resources and community rather than going through it alone.
5. Artists, game designers and producers hit hard as Microsoft cuts 277 jobs in Washington state (geekwire.com) — Hundreds of Microsoft employees in the Seattle region, including many artists, game designers, and producers, are losing their jobs in the latest round of company layoffs. Most of the 277 affected Washington positions are tied to Redmond-based Xbox Game Studios and related roles, continuing a broader restructuring that has already cut hundreds of local jobs over the past two years.
