• U.S. Marshals arrest fugitive on outstanding warrants from 2007 child rape (fox13seattle.com) — U.S. Marshals arrested a 57-year-old fugitive in Seattle's Interbay neighborhood on warrants tied to a 2007 child-rape conviction and failure to register as a sex offender. He was found in a tiny house village, treated for drug-related medical issues, and booked into SCORE Jail, with federal officials stressing their focus on tracking dangerous offenders who threaten public safety in the Seattle area.
   

• With new tariffs, WA braces for another cold shoulder from Canada (seattletimes.com) — New U.S.-Canada tariffs could ripple into Seattle's construction costs and local consumer prices, but experts say the short-term impact may be limited.
