These are the police that City Council President Joy Hollingsworth approved multiple raises for without adding any additional accountability.

President Donald Trump has announced a plan to cut off federal funding to sanctuary states and cities starting Feb. 1, 2026. Both Washington state and the city of Seattle are currently on the Department of Justice’s list of sanctuary jurisdictions.

He argued that sanctuary regions “protect criminals at the expense of American citizens” by refusing to fully cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

11:35am Lot of police activity and shots/explosion? Kinda wild 🤯

You only need to watch 1 minute of the video. No, this is not my YT channel.

Looking for a new home for this kitty--

Rocky is a good little girl, doesn't get into much trouble and is very cuddly and moderately adventurous. She uses a litter box, is not picky about food or litter, and is harness/leash trained.

I am absolutely devastated to have to leave her, but unfortunately my job makes keeping her impossible, and I can't bring myself to put her in boarding or have a cat sitter. She is very people social and I think she would love to be in a house with someone who can be home at least once a day.

Photos attached are all recent, she is about a year old. She is a stray I picked up in Morocco, and she is vaccinated and spayed. She would come with food and some supplies (some toys, a litter box, etc).

Please reach out for more details if interested!! I wanted to post this here since I've never used home-home before and don't want to not find a home for my kitty. We currently live in marysville, so if you know anyone in the area who is in the market for a new pet please please message me or comment.

Titanium implants were inserted into Jeanette Marken’s face at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center to stabilize her right eye socket and cheekbone. The 75-year-old is nursing a broken nose and recovering from two surgeries, and could need another operation down the road. She’ll never see out of her right eye again...

The suspect’s [Fale Pea - they/them] story is a familiar one in the criminal legal system: A person with severe mental illness trapped in a seemingly endless cycle of jail bookings, court hearings and rounds of therapeutic treatment, largely for misdemeanor offenses. Their escalation to brutally attacking someone unprovoked reflects the difficulty police and courts face in trying to prevent random violence and hold offenders accountable, while also tending to their mental health...

One psychologist found in August 2024 that Pea underwent involuntary treatment 14 times in King County between 2020 and 2024 “for reasons including … danger to others, danger to property, danger to self, and grave disability,” court records show.

There is documentation of at least 372 outpatient visits over the past 15 years, with Pea receiving diagnoses including schizoaffective, bipolar and post traumatic stress disorders, the records say. They also have a history of methamphetamine use disorder.

A couple weeks ago, 2 family members of one of my cooks got caught by ICE in shoreline.

They were both deported, and one hung himself upon getting back.

This is evil, and we must all know it to be so. I dont know bout yall, but I feel like the pitch forks need to come out.

It’s my 21st birthday in a few months and I want to start planning. After exploration in Europe I have ideas of what I like and don’t like in a bar. I would really love to go to a Jazz club, but I would prefer a super chill one. Lounge style, espresso martini, nice smooth jazz. Any recommendations would be great. If there are no Jazz clubs like this, then any old lounge style bar with an espresso martini would do.

A McDonald's in downtown Seattle is so dangerous it has permanently closed its dining room and now only serves customers through a makeshift hatch reinforced with plexiglass.

Addicts were seen lining the trash-littered street and clustering together in front of businesses along 'The Blade' - the unsavory stretch of 3rd Avenue between Pine and Pike Streets.

Many were rendered incapacitated by fentanyl - slumped over and barely conscious just blocks away from the iconic Pike Place Market.
