Today's riddle: Why did the girl pig break up with the boy pig? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Police investigate report of woman trying to lure children from Alki Elementary (komonews.com) — Seattle families should know police are investigating a report that a woman tried to lure first-graders from the Alki Elementary playground Thursday morning, offering a "crown" in her car. No children went with her, but staff and police are increasing vigilance while officers document the incident and monitor dismissal times.
2. Seattle police chief candidates attend community forums, share thoughts (everettpost.com) — Seattle residents are being asked for input at community forums as the city considers internal candidates, including Assistant Chief Robert Brown and Captain Dan Nelson, to become the next police chief. The mayor's office is weighing community priorities like crime, accountability, and local familiarity, with 23 applicants in the running and a decision expected by year's end.
3. Seattle fruit vendor confronted in viral waterfront video (fox13seattle.com) — A confrontation on the Seattle waterfront between a fruit vendor and a Renton restaurant co-owner over health permits has gone viral, drawing scrutiny to street-vending rules. King County Public Health is now investigating the vendor's stand while emphasizing permit and food-safety requirements, as both men dispute whether the clash was about public health, racial bias, or both.
4. Boeing avoids strike as thousands of employees approve new contracts (fox13seattle.com) — Boeing engineers and technical workers, most of them in Washington, narrowly avoided a strike by approving new contracts that deliver an immediate 10% raise and at least 18% over two years. For Seattle-area residents tied to Boeing's fortunes, the deal stabilizes a major local employer while unions continue pushing for stronger outsourcing protections and workplace improvements.
5. Judge overturns Trump's decision to fire court-appointed US attorney in Seattle (fox13seattle.com) — A federal judge has ruled that President Trump unlawfully fired Seattle's court-appointed U.S. attorney, Roger Rogoff, and ordered him reinstated to lead prosecutions in the Western District of Washington. The Justice Department plans to appeal, while Sen. Patty Murray hails the decision as a win for judicial independence and for Seattle-area residents who rely on a stable federal prosecutor's office.
