But will the show return to Sinclair's stations in Seattle and Portland? Waiting to hear if Kimmel has bowed to Sinclair's demand to apologize to the Kirk family and "make a meaningful personal donation" to the Kirks and TPUSA.

One reason the West Coast is the Best Coast is that the ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts run 3 hours later here and can be updated to include news that breaks after their east coast broadcasts. In Seattle, CBS and NBC had the late breaking Kimmel Muzzling story. ABC showed nothing.

Kimmel show not to return to TV stations in Seattle and Portland until Sinclair’s demands are met, including an apology. “Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.”

Waymo’s robotaxis could be cruising Seattle streets as soon as this week. But vehicles will be driven by humans & will not be picking up passengers yet. Waymo announced that it’s bringing vehicles to Seattle and the Eastside suburbs in preparation for eventually operating its driverless services.

It's an interesting debate. On one hand, it makes sense on its face to only distribute vouchers to D5 residents for their district special election. On the other, candidates will be able to collect donations from people citywide and beyond, so it does reduce the impact of the voucher program.
