The D.C. man accused of assaulting a U.S. Border Patrol agent with a Subway sandwich was found not guilty by a jury

Um, who ordered the torrential downpour? And would you please send it back?

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell has a 7-percentage-point lead (53.3% to 46.2%) over progressive challenger Katie Wilson. But there is a very good chance he will end up losing. 🧵 1/7

From @kuow.org's analysis: "Here in Washington state, mailed ballots come in daily batches. The count historically inches left with each new afternoon drop, as younger, more liberal voters tend to cast ballots later than their elders."

Bruce Harrell leads Katie Wilson 53% to 46% in the first ballot count tonight. It's not unusual for the more progressive candidate to trail in the first drop and that gap will certainly narrow in later counts. Especially since so many people seem to have voted at the last second this election.

Tuesday is the 2025 general election for several key races in the Seattle area. Check in here to see live results starting around 8 p.m. PT.

Early results in Seattle have more progressive candidates with significant leads in the city attorney and council races but not the mayoral race. Bruce Harrell is ahead of Katie Wilson by about 7 points. Curious about the folks who voted for Bruce Harrell but against Sara Nelson, etc.

Friends, you have three hours to get those ballots to a ballot box. Make it so.

Harrell said through a spokesperson that he did nothing unethical, as the club was in his district, and council members are supposed to help constituents.

This month, the @kuow.org Book Club is reading something a little different: "No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters" by Ursula K. Le Guin. It's a collection from the blog she took up writing late in her life, and it's full of creative, thoughtful musings. Read along with us 👇

Breaking News from @theathletic.com: The Dodgers beat the Blue Jays in seven games to become the first repeat World Series winners in 25 years.

I’m sorry, Gators. I perceived our guys. But let us not forget: Miami lost to SMU 🐎🐊

The Gators? Are? Winning??? 🐊

TREY SMACK

No better birthday gift than SMU beating Miami 😂 (unless my Gators can pull off a win today… not holding my breath)

Crosscut is dead. Long live Crosscut. Today’s the official last day for me and my Cascade PBS newsroom colleagues. We did good work over the decades and it is supremely sad to see it shut down.

If you need reading recs fit for Spooky Season and The Big Dark, listen to this week's episode of Meet Me Here from @kuow.org 👻

I had an interview with Katie Wilson during which I shared my own story to explain my questions about her financial situation, and we had what I thought was a productive conversation about privilege/generational wealth. Read the story and decide what it means to you. www.kuow.org/stories/kati...

Starting to understand why grown adults take up smoking.

If you're new here, may I recommend subscribing to the KUOW Book Club newsletter?

“She told a local broadcaster her parents help pay for child care.” That’s a unique way to credit my reporting for @kuow.org, @nytimes.com. “She told KUOW” would’ve been more concise.

Katie Wilson is running to be Seattle's next mayor despite her own struggles to live comfortably in this increasingly expensive city. In a recent interview with me for @kuow.org, she revealed that she doesn't make ends meet on her own: She gets help from her parents.

Had a religious experience today. #TheStrand

Hey guys, mountain’s out.

Starting to believe my Gators only succeed when I’m not actively perceiving them.

I’m just a girl, sitting in a Seattle sports bar, hoping I get those nachos I ordered before my soul leaves my body.

It's #BannedBooksWeek! @kuow.org's Meet Me Here is celebrating with Charlie Hunts of Charlie's Queer Books ✊ He talks about being a resource to people outside of Seattle/WA at a time when more than half of books banned in the US are about LGBTQ+ people and POC. #readbannedbooks

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant. By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.
