Thunder and hail are expected to hit the greater Seattle area tonight. And there’s even a very small possibility of a tornado. More Teslas are being targeted locally. Seattle has passed a new ordinance that requires certain security measures for late-night lounges. // A federal appeals court refused to put a stay on a lower court’s ruling against Trump’s deportation flights. We’re getting more clarity on the Trump Administration’s leaked signal chat. // Things got fiery on Capitol Hill during a hearing with NPR CEO Katherine Maher.
You probably saw a bunch of Teslas during your commute to work today. That’s because Seattle-area households are more likely to own a Tesla than the national average. The electric vehicle brand was once an eco-friendly status symbol, but now it has an unbreakable association with the company’s controversial CEO Elon Musk. KUOW Politics Reporter Scott Greenstone asked Seattle-area Tesla owners how they’re dealing with that association, and the attention that comes with it.

Even with interest rates slowly going down we are seeing an increase in inventory, and adjusted asking prices, yet homes are still selling. I belive that this fall we will see more buyer activity and inventory decreasing due to lower interest rates.

Seattle-area sustainably sourced sandwich restaurant chain, Homegrown, will be closing 10 stores — leaving only two. The closures mean more than 150 employees will be laid off. Homegrown CEO and co-founder Brad Gillis said, as reported by The Puget Sound Business Journal on Monday, that economic impacts, rising labor costs and food prices have led to the decision. “This decision was incredibly difficult to make, but one that we feel was absolutely necessary,” Gillis stated, according to The Business Journal.

Safe parking programs have gained traction in recent years – there are now an estimated dozen lots available across the state, many sponsored by churches.

In a stirring twist of irony, a city council candidate, Denise Ewn, known for her stance on crime prevention, finds herself in the hot seat, accused of shoplifting. You won't believe the details, as we unpack the surveillance footage presented by store owner, Nick Rose. This footage seems to show Ewn pocketing a hammer, but she sticks by her story - claiming it was only to prevent an impromptu meeting between hammer and toes. As we tackle this curious incident, we also delve into its potential impact on the upcoming council election. Hang onto your hats for the second part of our episode. It's not just shoplifting we're dealing with. We're also addressing allegations of a racist comment made by the store owner himself. We find ourselves questioning the strange paradox of Ewn allegedly stealing hammers, yet willingly paying for wooden stakes. As we investigate this incident, and previous ones that might shed light on Ewn's curious behavior, we implore the citizens of Federal Way to scrutinize their choices. After all, every vote counts and the honesty of a candidate can make a significant difference. Tune in for a fascinating exploration of politics, honesty, and alleged crime.Support the show
