Worth noting for WA, BTW:

"House Bill 1321, sponsored by Rep. Sharlett Mena (D-Tacoma), requires the Governor’s permission for National Guard troops from other states, territories or districts to enter Washington, unless they are mobilized by the president."

Notable -> "And Portland is not the same city it was five years ago, according to officials’ open letter last week. Tourism there is at a post-pandemic high, and gun violence and homicides have plummeted in recent years."

Here's our dispatch from Portland today -- As residents face the familiar sensation of watching their city be constantly maligned by the president. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Portlanders face familiar sensation of watching their city be maligned by Trump
Portland's protests are becoming more intense since President Trump tried to call in the National Guard, a move temporarily blocked by a district court judge.

@edsbs.bsky.social Flagging a heist story www.seattletimes.com/life/food-dr...
How did 12,000 bottles of award-winning WA whiskey disappear?
In July, 12,000 bottles of whiskey went missing from a warehouse operated by Seattle’s Westland Distillery. The Skagit County sheriff's office is investigating.

How Seattle of Seahawks to do this

www.thenewstribune.com/sports/nfl/s...
Seahawks and Sam Darnold through 3 games are both leaning left. Here’s why.
Darnold’s ability to run to his non-dominant side and throw across his body coincides to where Seattle’s two best offensive linemen are.

Yes, Cascade PBS is our (Seattle Times's) "competitor," so to speak, but also its journalists and their work has pushed us to do better ourselves -- When a region loses a journalist, its impact goes far beyond just a single job.

I also remain very puzzled as to how Cascade PBS will expand its news show from one to five days a week while laying off journalists.

Today was a sad day in Seattle journalism. As someone who read and followed Cascade PBS's work every day (for my job), they produced unique and compelling work week in and week out. This will be a big loss...

Today, I was laid off from Cascade PBS along with my entire team and most of the newsroom. I'll have more to say, but I have loved my time as news editor alongside some of the best journalists I have ever worked with. Every time a newsroom closes, stories go with it. The silence that follows is loud

The move, attributed to the loss of federal funding for public media, marks the layoffs of 17 staffers and the creation of three new positions.

To be honest, this isn't even about how much I like BlueSky. It's much more of "my life and mental health has improved since I started to log off, go out more, work out, touch grass and get into a relationship" kind of a thing

I arguably jumpstarted my career because of Twitter but deleted my account a few months ago (I do have a burner account to monitor but never tweet).

I have not regretted deleting my Twitter for a second

One of the biggest mistakes left-of-center pundits and influencers made was decamping to Bluesky. They made themselves irrelevant, shrunk their audiences, and dramatically lessened the positive impact they could have on our public debate at the precise time we needed it most.

Dang, that's crazy.

Anyway, we moved our annual refugee resettlement fundraiser to Bluesky this spring, after running it entirely on Twitter for over a decade, started with ZERO followers, took our "shrunken" audiences and beat last year's total by $200,000 in a time of massive economic upheaval

The team is down 8-0 in the top of the second and boos have broken out.

(The team has clinched the first place... and it's a minor league game so stakes are pretty low)
