Charges have been filed against the suspect in Sunday morning鈥檚 double homicide at a Rainier Beach hookah lounge.

On Wednesday, the King County Prosecuting Attorney鈥檚 Office charged聽Leontai D. Berry with two counts of first-degree murder with firearm enhancements and one count of second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.

A 成人X站 Newsradio investigation revealed Berry was already on probation. In fact, he had been celebrated by community anti-violence organizations for turning his life around.

Federal charges: running a ‘straw man’ scheme as a teen

Berry is now 25 and the father of a four-year-old daughter. But at the age of 18, federal investigators said he convinced his mother to start buying guns for him.

Court records from the U.S. Attorney鈥檚 Office show one of them was a Glock 19 9-millimeter handgun that was converted into a fully automatic machine gun. Investigators said at one point, the gun was in the hands of a felon with ties to a violent street gang. That felon filmed himself shooting the modified gun out the window of a moving car. It was also used in a drive-by shooting before the Seattle murder suspect posted the handgun for sale on Facebook.

An Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Seattle (ATF) investigation into that felon led them to discover the mother-and-son duo. Investigators said the mother bought eleven guns in total, with at least five for her son. None of them were recovered when the ATF searched their home.

Both pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the Gun Control Act, and making a false statement in connection with the acquisition of a firearm. The mother was sentenced to eight months in prison.

At the age of 21, Berry was sentenced to five years of probation, ending in 2026.

‘Exceptional mitigating factors’ and a redemption story

One of the organizations he worked with was , an anti-violence organization that runs diversion programs.

Community Passageways backed the suspect

When Berry petitioned to end his probation early this year, the CEO of Community Passageways, Dominique Davis, wrote a personal character reference. Davis detailed how the young man had approached him in 2019 after the indictment to attend meetings and trainings and then graduated to leading group discussions.

The final vote was 6-3.

Details of Bondi’s plan have not officially been announced.

Seattle and a group of several other cities in the state of Washington have declared themselves sanctuary cities.

Bondi’s possible order would apply to cities that house undocumented immigrants.

The city of Seattle responds to the sanctuary cities report

A spokesperson from the city of Seattle sent a statement to 成人X站 Newsradio Wednesday afternoon about the potential order and reported it had not received any direction or orders from the federal government in that regard.

“Currently, the City has not received any memo or directive from the DOJ and we are not aware of any federal funding to our departments being impacted,” Callie Craighead, Mayor Bruce Harrell’s press secretary, said in her statement.

Craighead went on to explain the enforcement of immigration law is done exclusively by the federal government and the city does not get in the way.

“The City and its employees follow federal and state law in all circumstances,” the statement reads. “Immigration law and enforcement is solely the domain of the federal government and the City does not interfere with, nor carry out, the federal government鈥檚 duties.”

The statement from the mayor’s office then outlined a series of actions the mayor’s office has taken to respond to any potential order that may come from the federal government.

“Recently, Mayor Harrell issued a Mayoral Directive to all executive branch departments regarding federal immigration enforcement to ensure that as a city, our policies protect the safety, privacy, and constitutional rights of Seattleites while complying with applicable law,” Craighead said in her statement. “The mayor also recently met with several immigrant, refugee, and asylee community-based organizations to discuss anticipated needs and solutions we can work on together. The Mayor鈥檚 Office will closely collaborate with our state and county governments and cities across the nation in ensuring coordinated and strategic responses.”

Craighead also issued a reminder that protections are in place that can limit what the federal government can do and how it can coerce cities to act.

“Strong constitutional protections exist that limit the federal government’s ability to coerce cities by conditioning funds. We will continue to assess actions that impact Seattle鈥檚 access to federal funding that supports all of our residents and respond appropriately.鈥�”

“He has no known address and a significant criminal history, including convictions for second-degree robbery, attempted second-degree robbery, and third-degree assault,” Vasquez stated.

The judge agreed with Vasquez’s argument, citing the suspect’s criminal background and lack of a permanent address. The suspect refused to appear via video call from jail.

The suspect is accused of stabbing a 13-year-old boy from Everett. The motive behind the alleged attack remains unclear.

Previous story (Jan. 29, 5:45 p.m.): A suspect has been arrested in the stabbing of a 13-year-old boy in Everett.

The Everett Police Department (EPD) a man was arrested around 4 p.m. on Wednesday.

Police stated a community member notified the department of the suspect’s whereabouts, who was arrested without incident.

EPD said the suspect will be booked into the Snohomish County Jail on assault in the first degree.

Previous story (Jan. 20, 12 p.m.): The Everett Police Department (EPD) has identified a person of interest in the stabbing of a 13-year-old boy who was on his way to school.

The person of interest has been identified as Andrew Freeman. EPD released a previous mugshot of him in a social media post asking the public for help.

While searching for Freeman, according to , it was revealed to authorities the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office arrested him less than an hour after the stabbing occurred on an unrelated drug charge.

According to jail records reviewed, Freeman was booked into the Snohomish County Jail Thursday morning at 9:21 a.m. on a charge of possessing prescription drugs without a prescription — less than an hour after the stabbing.

Freeman was released the next day at 2:14 p.m.

As a person of interest, EPD and other police agencies are actively searching for him. If anyone sees Freeman, members of the community are encouraged not approach him. Instead,聽 they should just call 911.

Previous story (Jan. 17, 2:45 p.m.): At approximately 8 a.m. Thursday, a 13-year-old boy was walking to class at North Middle School in Everett when EPD said an unknown man approached and stabbed him.

Police said multiple witnesses reported the stabbing, and officers swarmed the area for an extensive search.

“I, personally, drove through almost every alley in this neighborhood trying to find a clue or find the suspect and we did not see him,” EPD Chief John DeRousse said.

A spokesperson for the department explained that the “notion that it鈥檚 random (attack) is still equally up in the air.”

At this point, investigators aren’t sure whether the attack was random, planned or with any other motive.

“We don’t know,” EPD Officer Natalie Given said. “It’s too early in the investigation.”

Friday morning, Jan. 17, the EPD still wouldn’t state if the teen victim knew the suspect or not. The department also stated the suspect stabbed the teenager from behind and fled.

, EPD asked for the community to be on the lookout for a person who has been identified as a person of interest in the stabbing and was last seen in the area around the time of the stabbing.

Police described the suspect as a Black male, approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall, last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and yellow beanie. DeRousse also said Friday he thinks the suspect is no longer in the area.

Community reacts to the Everett stabbing

Oxford Jones owns a hobby shop near North Middle School and has a son who goes to the school. The news of the teen’s stabbing upset him.

“(It makes me) sick to my stomach … I’m already the protector type,” Jones said. “That never would have happened had I saw that, I promise … I would have attacked that guy in a heartbeat.”

Many parents like a woman named Mitra say they learned about it from their kids.

“Scary. So, my daughter was messaging me while she was on the bus and (said) ‘There’s police everywhere. I’ve never seen this many police (officers).’ When she got here, they went straight into lockdown,” Mitra said to 成人X站 Newsradio.

The day after the event, many parents, including one named Gabriel who has a daughter, drove their kids to school instead of letting them walk.

“It’s really terrifying, it happening so close to home around here,” Gabriel said to 成人X站 Newsradio. “I’m glad they beefed up the security that we need here.”

DeRousse said he will allocate whatever resources he can to catch the suspect and make those who go to the school get a sense of safety.

“This kind of event shocks us and as a police chief … we’re going to deploy resources and do everything we can to not only track this guy down, but people who go to this school and the family members who take their kids to these schools, we want them to feel safe as well,” DeRousse said Friday.

Rahr’s memo, which was obtained by 成人X站 Newsradio, states she is “clearing out the ‘Chief’s Office'” Wednesday. From there, “Chief Barnes will be moving into his Seattle home and start moving his stuff into the Chief’s Office,” Rahr wrote.

On Friday, there will some sort of welcome reception at City Hall for Barnes, the memo from Rahr also states. There is a possibility of more events being planned for that day as well.

Rahr said that despite her departure from the office, she will be in regular contact with Barnes and the mayor’s office for “a couple of weeks to wrap up projects and loose ends until mid-February.” She added she will still have access during that period.

Next week, Rahr stated she will send “a more detailed department wide email to wrap things up.”

“It’s going to be a lot harder than I expected to step away from my ‘interim’ police family,” Rahr said in the memo to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).

More on Interim SPD Chief Sue Rahr

As a news release from explained last year, Rahr began her career in law enforcement as a King County Sheriff鈥檚 deputy in 1979. She rose through the ranks and was elected sheriff in 2005 and re-elected in 2009.

In 2012, then-Gov. Christine Gregoire appointed Rahr as the executive director of the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, a position she held for nine years. President Obama appointed Rahr in 2015 to the President鈥檚 Task Force on 21st Century Policing.

Retired King County Sheriff John Urquhart noted Rahr’s wealth of experience.

“I think she provided that stability for the last six months and I’m sure glad she was able to do it. I think she was the right person, at the right time, for the right job,” Urquhart said. “SPD has had so many chiefs. Something like seven chiefs in the last twelve years. Sue is really good at going in and being just a kind of calming influence. She has a tremendous resume that says a lot about her knowledge, her ability, and her leadership.”

State Senator and Former Snohomish County Sheriff John Lovick calls Rahr a friend and also highlighted Rahr’s professionalism.

“(She is) one of the best leaders the law enforcement community has ever had I think she’s one of the most competent people I’ve ever worked with and it was always based on integrity,” Lovick said. “She talked with me about doing work to change the culture, and not that the culture is bad, but to bring in good people who will serve their community and be guardians of the community and not warriors.”

Shon Barnes steps in as the new chief to replace Sue Rahr

Harrell made the announcement late last month that he had chosen Barnes to be the next SPD chief after a national search. Barnes had been the Chief of Police in Madison, Wisconsin, since 2021.

“I am very excited to see Chief Shon Barnes join the Seattle Police Department,” Rahr said in a statement at that time. “He has achieved a national reputation for his focus on research and innovation while remaining centered on the core values of community policing.”

Harrell also complimented Barnes’ experience and thanked Rahr for her help during the process of hiring a new chief.

“Chief Barnes brings proven experience and a forward-looking vision to help us achieve our One Seattle commitment to safety in every neighborhood. I want to thank Chief Sue Rahr for her strong leadership this year. We took a different approach to this search, seeking the best possible chief for SPD鈥檚 future. I am confident Chief Barnes is that leader.”

Earlier this month, however, “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH reported that Barnes failed the Seattle Police Department’s polygraph as part of the city’s pre-employment screening process.

Harrell’s office, through a spokesperson, later denied the claim coming from the source. He said the polygraph test isn’t a traditional pass/fail test.

“The City’s Human Resources Department reviewed the background investigation of Chief Barnes and reported to the mayor that there were no adverse findings,” Jamie Housen, director of communications for the Office of the Mayor, told 鈥渢he Jason Rantz Show鈥� on KTTH.

The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that about 1,500 troops were being sent to the border this week, as the department scrambles to put in motion President Donald Trump’s executive order demanding an immediate crackdown on immigration.

JBLM officers will head south

U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) announced in a statement Friday the U.S. Army’s 66th Military Police Company out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Pierce County as part of the military’s agency mission.

It is unclear exactly how many JBLM officers will take part, but USNORTHCOM says the number of personnel deployed will fluctuate as units rotate personnel and as additional forces are tasked to deploy. Specific units will be announced as soon as more information becomes available, . The Associated Press (AP) reported the additional personnel would include active duty, National Guard and Reserves, and come from land, air and sea forces. Other defense and military officials this week estimated that the additional number deployed could be in the thousands.

USNORTHCOM added the military forces being sent will support enhanced detection and monitoring efforts and repair and emplace physical barriers.

More on the military personnel going to the border

The troops announced Wednesday include about 1,000 Army soldiers from a variety of units and 500 Marines from Camp Pendleton in California.

Officials said Thursday that they expect the bulk of them to be in El Paso 鈥� including Fort Bliss 鈥� or in San Diego by Friday, where they will get their mission assignments and prepare to spread out along the border. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details on troop movements.

There were already about 2,500 Guard and Reserve forces deployed to the border, and the new 1,500 would add to that total. But officials noted that given the length of the nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico, it will take additional forces to help put large rolls of concertina wire barriers in place and provide needed transportation, intelligence and other support to the Border Patrol.

As of Thursday there were still no requests for the use of military bases to house migrants or for troops to be used for law enforcement duties.

Seattle鈥檚 minimum wage rose on Jan. 1 from $19.97 per hour to $20.76, . The new hourly wage is $4 higher than the state of Washington’s new 2025 minimum wage of $16.66 per hour.

Previous coverage: New year brings more money as Seattle’s minimum wage rises

As Jason Rantz of KTTH noted in a recent piece, the City of Seattle also ended the tip credit of $2.72. Previously, restaurants were able to pay $17.25 hourly wage if their staff earned at least $2.72 in tips per hour.

The lack of a tip credit has already impacted small businesses as the city of Seattle’s wage hike has led several restaurants to close their doors at the beginning of this year.

in Seattle鈥檚 Central District, West Seattle eateries Bel Gatto and , and in Capitol Hill have all closed with the new minimum wage playing at least some role in the closures.

From Jason Rantz: 2 more Seattle restaurants close over ‘untenable’ minimum wage hike

The Confectional in Pike Place Market will close

The number of shuttering restaurants will climb at least one more after this weekend as Destiny Sund, owner of the Pike Place Market bakery , told 成人X站 Newsradio’s “The Gee and Ursula Show” during an interview Friday that she will close her business after the weekend.

“I wanted my team to have a wonderful holiday season, so I didn’t mention to them that we would be closing until after New Year’s Day,” Sund said. “So this has been a long week for all of us at The Confectional.”

Sund also pointed out it’s not just the higher wage that is sinking her business, citing the end of the tip benefit as well.

“That allowed businesses 50 employees or under to subtract $2.00 from the minimum wage. If they could make it up in tips and or benefits,” Sund said. “And my employees did make that up in tips.”

Sund said she ran the numbers and determined that maintaining the business would not be feasible as yearly costs would be too high.

“And just doing the math with the additional increase and the loss of the tip credit, it would cost my business an additional $18,000,” Sund explained. “And that’s just not sustainable.”

The business owner also stated they tried raising prices, but sales declined.

“I raised my cheesecake prices to $8 each and saw a sharp decline in transactions, so it’s obvious that people can’t pay a higher price or nobody needs a delicious cheesecake,” she said.

Higher Seattle minimum wage was ‘the final straw’

Sund also expressed a desire to be “completely fair” and explained that other factors have hurt business in recent years, including the loss of foot traffic due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, inflation has increased the price of eggs and other ingredients.

“Then, of course, the price of eggs, the price of chocolate, the price of cream cheese — I don’t use the cheapest ingredients to make cream cheese — (played a role),” Sund stated. “So, all the price increases have also been pretty rough, so I cannot fully blame minimum wage increase as the number.”

In the end, however, the wage hike was the drop that spilled the drink, so to speak.

“The minimum wage, yes, I would say that was the final straw, though,” Sund said. “Everything else I was willing to work with or could have worked with. Meeting with additional vendors, doing more advertising, thanking Seattleites when they come down to the market personally …”

As the conversation between host Ursula Reutin, guest host Angela Poe Russell and Sund wrapped up, Sund said she thinks Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and the Seattle City Council need to “take a hard look” at the small businesses impacted by the raising minimum wages and higher cost of living in Seattle.

“I think the city really needs to have a conversation about all the mom-and-pop stores. And is it worth losing an entire business — many of which have workers making well above minimum wage?” Sund asked. “Is it worth losing all of those jobs for a few?”

Announcing the policy shift Tuesday,聽聽said the latest election heralded “a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech.鈥�

The tech giant said expert fact checkers have their own biases and too much content ends up being fact checked, and that it is pivoting to crowdsourcing contributions from users.

鈥淲e鈥檝e seen this approach work on X 鈥� where they empower their community to decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context,鈥� Meta’s Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan said in a blog post. He said the new system will be phased in over the coming months.

Meta is among several tech companies apparently聽聽before he takes office later this month. Meta and Amazon each donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund in December, and Zuckerberg had聽聽at the his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, bringing together the Facebook founder and the former president who was once banned from his social network.

Meta this week appointed Dana White, the president and CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship and a聽聽in Trump鈥檚 orbit, to its board of directors. Kaplan, a former adviser to George W. Bush, was announced as the head of Meta鈥檚 global affairs on Jan. 2.

Meta began fact checks in December 2016 after Donald Trump was elected president for the first time, in response to criticism that 鈥渇ake news鈥� was spreading on its platforms. For years, the tech giant boasted it was working with more than 100 organizations in over 60 languages to combat misinformation.

The Associated Press ended its participation in Meta鈥檚 fact-checking program a year ago.

The tech company said the new system will allow 鈥渕ore speech鈥� by lifting restrictions on discussions of certain mainstream topics, such as immigration and gender, and focus on curbing illegal and 鈥渉igh severity violations,” including terrorism, child sexual exploitation and drugs.

Meta said that its approach of building complex systems to manage content on its platforms has “gone too far” and has made 鈥渢oo many mistakes鈥� by censoring too much content.

鈥淢eta is repositioning the company聽聽said Emarketer analyst Jasmine Enberg. “The move will elate conservatives, who鈥檝e often criticized Meta for censoring speech, but it will spook many liberals and advertisers, showing just how far Zuckerberg is willing to go to win Trump鈥檚 approval.鈥�

In a shift driven largely by Musk, third-party fact-checking 鈥渉as gone out of fashion among social executives,鈥� Enberg added. “Social platforms have become more political and polarized, as misinformation has become a buzzword that encompasses everything from outright lies to viewpoints people disagree with.”

Washington experts weigh in on Meta’s shift

Misinformation experts in the state of Washington doubt the authenticity of the platform’s stated motivations.

Amy Zhang, an associate professor of computer science at the University of Washington, previously worked on fact-checking platforms for both Facebook and then-Twitter. She told 成人X站 Newsradio that parent company Meta already explored options to transition toward a Community Notes-style program in 2018.

She questions the tech giant鈥檚 timing now, pointing to 鈥淩epublicans kind of coming into office and the politicization of topics like content moderation.鈥�

“I see this announcement as a response to that,” she said.

Kate Starbird, a co-founder of UW’s Center for an Informed Public 鈥� whose stated purpose is to combat 鈥渟trategic misinformation鈥� 鈥� criticized Zuckerberg in a thread of posts to X鈥檚 primary competitor, BlueSky.

“I have a nasty cold, but what鈥檚 more sickening is to see Meta & Zuckerberg succumb to this framing equating 鈥榗ensorship鈥� with labeling content (with) fact-checks,” she wrote. “Fact-checking was speech that conservatives didn鈥檛 like, so they leaned on Meta not to do it. Isn鈥檛 that political censorship? C鈥檓on.”

She cited that showed conservative-leaning users as more likely to share 鈥渓ow-quality鈥� information, and thus more likely to be penalized for doing so.

“Fact-checking wasn鈥檛 鈥榖iased鈥� against conservatives,” . “Conservatives just shared more false content. If there鈥檚 a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it鈥檚 not 鈥榖iased鈥� for the (referee) to call four times as many fouls against that team.鈥�

成人X站 Newsradio reached out to Starbird, who was not available to interview by the time of publication.

Other reactions to the Meta fact-checking move

X’s approach to content moderation has led to the loss of some advertisers, but Enberg said Meta鈥檚 鈥渕assive size and powerhouse ad platform insulate it somewhat from an X-like user and advertiser exodus.鈥� Even so, she said, any major drop in user engagement could hurt Meta鈥檚 ad business.

Meta’s quasi-independent Oversight Board, which acts as a referee of controversial content decisions, said it welcomes the changes and looks forward to working with the company “to understand the changes in greater detail, ensuring its new approach can be as effective and speech-friendly as possible.”

Reaction to Meta’s changes fell largely along political lines.

On X, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio called it a 鈥渉uge step in the right direction.鈥�

Others were skeptical and said the move wasn鈥檛 enough to make them trust Zuckerberg.

鈥淔ool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me,鈥� Rep. Mike Lee of Utah wrote on X. 鈥淐an any of us assume Zuckerberg won鈥檛 return to his old tricks?鈥�

On Trump鈥檚 Truth Social platform, users didn鈥檛 hold back from their ongoing criticism of the Meta CEO, calling him a 鈥渟nake鈥� and 鈥渢he enemy.鈥�

Alexios Mantzarlis, director of the Security, Trust, and Safety Initiative at Cornell Tech and a former director of the International Fact-Checking Network, said the change is 鈥渂y no means perfect, and fact-checkers have no doubt erred in some percentage of their labels.鈥�

He called the change at Meta 鈥渁 choice of politics, not policy,鈥� and warned: “Depending on how this is applied, the consequences of this decision will be an increase in harassment, hate speech and other harmful behavior across billion-user platforms.”

Harrell told the Seattle City Council he fired Diaz after seeing the results of an investigation into the former police chief’s behavior.

That investigation claims Diaz had “an intimate or romantic relationship” with a former police department employee — one he allegedly hired and supervised for a position he created.

Jamie Tompkins, a former Seattle television anchor, resigned from per position as SPD’s director of communications last month. In a statement to “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH, she denied that she was in a “romantic or sexual relationship” with Diaz.

“I support Chief Diaz and his family,” Tompkins said. “The city has lost a fine public servant and a dedicated officer. The allegation that Chief Diaz and I were in a romantic or sexual relationship is completely false and highly damaging to both his and my professional reputations.”

Political analyst Matt Markovich appeared on 成人X站 Newsradio’s “The John Curley Show” Tuesday and broke down exactly why Diaz was fired from the SPD.

“He did not acknowledge apparent conflict of interest. That’s what the inspector general just found out,” Markovich said. “It violated the professionalism and most importantly, the No. 1 thing dishonesty in the policy. That’s what he was fired for. Not all the other stuff you heard about all the lawsuits and everything else. He was fired for being dishonest, (not being) professional, avoiding disclosing conflicts of interest and an improper relationship with a subordinate.”

Markovich also discussed Diaz’s compensation, noting he was getting paid his full yearly salary as SPD chief — nearly $340,000 — until he was fired Tuesday. Now that he has been terminated, he won’t receive another dollar from the department.

or tap on the player below to listen to Markovich’s discussion of the Diaz firing, including his personal connection to the events that have unfolded in this case, on “The John Curley Show.”

Earlier on 成人X站 Newsradio’s “The Gee and Ursula Show,” Markovich noted how new an investigation like this is for the city.

“Is the first time — because of new legislation that passed two years ago — that the Office of Inspector General has investigated a police chief and alleged misgivings … against that chief, either civil or criminal,” Markovich said.

“Now the office of the inspector general has already put this report out, finding … that the that the chief lied,” he added. “This has never happened before in the city … There’s never been this type of investigation into police chief, and now that this one is done, the other investigations led by the mayor as well.”

Adrian Diaz removed as SPD chief in May

Harrell announced May 29 that Diaz would be removed as the chief of the department, amid lawsuits claiming discrimination and harassment. That’s when Rahr, the former King County sheriff, was going to come out of retirement to become interim chief for the foreseeable future.

After that, Diaz had been reassigned to work on what was referred to as “special assignments.”

At that time, Harrell said Rahr had no plans to become the permanent chief and will assist Harrell and former police Chief Kathleen O’Toole in a national search for Diaz’s replacement.

A claim of dishonesty to investigators and a potential violation of department policy led Rahr to place Diaz on administrative leave from his position working on “special assignments” in October.

That information came in a letter sent by Seattle Inspector General Lisa Judge to Harrell, City Council President Sara Nelson, City Attorney Ann Davison and the Public Safety Committee chair.

“The biggest thing that people have been asking for has been when our website would be coming back up and when the SEA Visitor pass would come back on, which is a popular program that folks can get,” Sea-Tac Airport spokesman Perry Cooper said to 成人X站 Newsradio Monday.

We鈥檙e back! Our website is fully restored. Our teams have been hard at work since the Aug. 24 cyberattack bringing all systems back online and are now focused on migrating updated content to the site. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

鈥� Seattle-Tacoma Intl. Airport (@flySEA)

They’re still working to restore some popular functions, like security line wait times, the SEA Visitor Pass and the .

“We still have some internal systems that aren’t completely up yet,” Cooper told 成人X站 Newsradio Monday. “Our wait times that the public will see for our security checkpoints, those are still to be restarted again as is our SEA Visitor pass. But really, a lot of things that folks would be seeing have already continued to be operating and our operations just in general have continued on.”

Officials confirmed the cyberattack brought down websites, email and many airport services and also disconnected phone services.

Cooper said the hackers gained access to some passengers’ personal information.

What happened in the Aug. 24 cyberattack

The Aug. 24 cyberattack took down many Port of Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport services, notably leaving airport staff to scramble significantly to get the tens of thousands of travelers arriving at and leaving from the airport to their final destinations.

The incident was a ransomware attack put into motion by the criminal organization known as Rhysida, according to distributed in September. The Port of Seattle added the work its team did to stop the attack “appear to have been successful鈥� as there has been 鈥渘o new unauthorized activity on Port systems since that day.”

Lance Lyttle, Sea-Tac Airport’s aviation managing director, testified at a Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation hearing in September and provided some additional information. He explained during the hearing and in written comments submitted to the committee that Rhysida, who Lyttle called the “threat actor,” attempted to secure a ransom payment from the Port in exchange for “providing a decryption key and deleting data they copied.”

Lyttle went on to say that Rhysida posted the Port of Seattle’s name on their “leak site where they identify victims, as well as a copy of eight files stolen from Port systems.”

The criminal group’s plan was to publish others in seven days unless the Port of Seattle paid 100 bitcoin. Given that the value of 1 bitcoin hovered between $54,000 and $64,000 in September, the group demanded a ransom of about $6 million to stop the dissemination of private information. (One bitcoin was worth about $94,000, as of Monday, Nov. 25.)

The Port of Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport declined to pay the ransom, opting instead to rebuild their systems.

That was Lyttle’s position during his testimony on Capitol Hill in September.

“With regards to paying the ransom, that was contrary to our values, and we don’t think that’s the best use of public funds. So, we decided not to pay it,” Lyttle said.

Cooper would not give specifics on the number of individuals who may have been affected or what type of information was compromised to 成人X站 Newsradio. He says that is still being investigated.

“If we expect anybody to have any indication that any kind of material was compromised, we would be reaching out to folks,” Cooper said. “But at this point, it seems to be very limited.”

The short answer is no, but this area does get hurricane-force winds via bomb cyclones.

What is a bomb cyclone?

Waters in the Northern Pacific Ocean are much cooler than 80 degrees. Yet strong, dangerous wind storms can and do develop. In fact, they frequently happen across the Northern Pacific during the fall and winter seasons. One such intense storm moved north into the Bering Sea last month — on Oct. 3

The storms that intensify rapidly are called meteorological bombs or the new term some have adopted 鈥� bomb cyclones.

One can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, which is something that can occur over ocean waters, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) stated, according to The Associated Press.

More PNW weather news: King tide season has arrived in Western Washington

The measurement needed to determine whether a cyclone can be classified as a bomb cyclone can be tricky, but it largely concerns a swift drop in pressure. Atmospheric pressure is measured in millibars by the National Weather Service. If a storm decreases 24 millibars or more in 24 hours or less, it can be considered a bomb cyclone, Stephen Baron, a forecaster with the weather service in Gray, Maine, said to The Associated Press.

“I would say rapid intensification of hurricanes is one of the more common times we see it,” Baron added. “We do see it with Nor’easters occasionally.鈥�

Those in Western Washington often do not hear of these storms — until they approach the area.

Why is it happening on the West Coast?

The National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center has issued excessive rainfall risks starting Tuesday and running through Friday because of the powerful storm expected in northern California and the Pacific Northwest. The storm is arriving as the region experiences an atmospheric river, which is a long plume of moisture, over the Pacific Ocean.

The Weather Prediction Center said the storm intensified swiftly enough that it’s considered a bomb cyclone.

Bomb cyclones can happen in many places, and aren’t unique to the West Coast. They can occur in several parts of the world’s oceans, including the Northwest Pacific and North Atlantic.

What conditions could it bring?

, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington, said to 成人X站 Newsradio that he expects strong winds along the Washington coast and Vancouver Island on Tuesday, with gusts up to 60-80 mph. Downed trees and power outages are likely, he said.

鈥淭here may be a significant impact here in Western Washington because this very deep low offshore will create a large difference in pressure across the Cascades,鈥� he warned.

During an appearance on聽鈥淭he John Curley Show鈥�聽on 成人X站 Newsradio Monday, Mass explained that those on the coast can expect to see those winds pick up in a bit later in the day.

“The big, big event during the late afternoon (Tuesday), the winds will really pick up along the coast,” Mass said.

This storm is expected to bring severe rainfall to some areas. That could lead to flash flooding as well as winter storms in different parts of the West Coast depending on elevation.

High wind watches are also expected in some parts of the West Coast.

Travel is expected to be hazardous, and power outages are expected. There could also be significant damages to trees and infrastructure.

When else has it happened?

Bomb cyclones have been associated with major weather events all over the country in recent years. Hurricane Milton, which made landfall in Florida last month as a Category 3 hurricane, was a recent example of a bomb cyclone, Baron said.

A bomb cyclone in 2018, which helped popularize the term on social media, brought snow to the Southeast and winds that were close to hurricane force. Another in 2022 brought extreme weather and bitter cold to much of the country.

The last strong, widespread, damaging wind storm to strike Western Washington with winds well above 70 mph was the Hanukkah Eve Wind Storm of December 2006. Winds along the coast peaked near 145 mph. More than 1.5 million people lost electric power; some went without power for over a week.

Other memorable big, strong, impactful wind storms in recent decades include the 1993 Inauguration Day Storm that packed winds up to 65 mph, the 1979 Hood Canal Storm that had winds of 80 mph bringing down the floating bridge, the December 12, 1995 storm with winds up to 80 mph and the November 14, 1981 wind storm which had gusts up to 75 mph.

Yet the grand-daddy of them all, the wind storm all other wind storms are compared to, is the 1962 Columbus Day Storm: The strongest non-tropical wind storm to ever hit the lower 48 in American history. Winds along the Oregon and Washington coast had gusts up to 150 mph, and western interior winds from Eugene, Oregon to Vancouver, British Columbia, were in excess of 100 mph.

More Western WA weather: Another earthquake hits Pacific Northwest, rising the total

The storm along the West Coast claimed 46 lives, hundreds were injured, thousands of buildings destroyed, power outages to millions from the San Francisco Bay Area to British Columbia, and it blew down 15 billion board feet of timber from the coast to Western Montana, enough lumber to build a million homes.

The Washington State Climatologist’s Office estimated the region gets a strong, damaging windstorm with winds up to 60 mph about every 10 to 20 years. Wind storms with hurricane-force winds occur far less frequently, yet they do impact the region with downed trees, and power and communication outages for extended periods of time. In the wake of the Columbus Day Storm, many did not have power restored for more than two weeks.

Back in 1962 with the Columbus Day Storm, utility crews from all over the nation moved into the region to help restore power. The effort was exceptionally challenging since even those big BPA transmission towers carrying hydroelectric power from east of the Cascades were toppled to the ground. Some did not get power restored until November.

In the Hanukkah Eve Wind Storm of December 2006, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) noted they lost 70% of their infrastructure, including the loss of power lines and power poles by the hundreds.

Police arrest documents, released by prosecutors, show the man is 37 years old and lives in South Seattle. The documents also name the suspect, but 成人X站 Newsradio and MyNorthwest have chosen to withhold his name until he’s charged.

The alleged stabbings happened over a 38-hour period from Thursday to Friday when police arrested the suspect at 4:09 p.m. in the 300 block of 10th Avenue South. According to police documents, a witness watched the suspect stab one victim four times in his back then walk casually down 10th Avenue before he stabbed another three victims who were standing on the south west corner of 12the Avenue South and South Jackson Street. One of the victims, according to police, suffered a laceration across his nose, while another was stabbed in the neck.

Police say they located two knives with blood on them, including a three-inch folding knife with the tip missing and a three-inch switchblade. Another knife was left inside a victim, police said.

King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office spokesperson Casey McNerthney said, on Saturday, prosecutors asked a judge to hold the suspect in jail on $2 million bail and the judge granted that request. McNerthney said police are also investigating whether the suspect stabbed four other people, which would bring the total number of victim to nine.

“When we went to court it was the first opportunity that we had to say this person has got to stay held in the King County Jail and we argued there was a very serious danger to the public and he needs to be held,” McNerthney said. “His defense wanted a lower amount but the court said ‘yes’ $2 million is appropriate, so he’s in the King County Jail now.”

McNerthney added formal charges could come as soon as Thursday.

Police documents say the suspect was initially uncooperative and refused to give police his name. The documents also say the suspect has nine prior felony convictions in Washington State, including convictions for theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen property, attempted burglary, and robbery. Police say he also has 20 gross misdemeanor convictions.

“People who live in and travel to the Chinatown-International District deserve to feel safe and be safe and (we) will continue to do its part to bring necessary accountability,” said Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion in a statement released Saturday afternoon.

Is this being pursued as a hate crime?

There is a question whether the alleged attacker’s motivation was based on racism or if the stabbings should be considered a possible hate crime.

According to court documents sent to members of the media, the suspect is Black and all five of the victims who were stabbed Friday are white. Investigators heard him utter the phrase “Black Power” during an interview the SPD recorded.

The case has not been referred as a possible hate crime for a charging decision or for a first appearance, a statement from McNerthney sent to members of the media explains. If police get admissible evidence that show bias as a motive, they’ll send it to prosecutors for a charging decision.

Under Washington law, prosecutors can charge a hate crime when it is clear at the time of charging that race or another protected factor is a motivation for the attack, McNerthney also stated.

“A hateful or biased comment may be said during part of an investigation, but that alone is not enough to prove what鈥檚 required under the strict law requirements,” McNerthney’s statement reads. “Simply put, what may feel like a hate crime can be very different than what state law defines as a hate crime or what can be proven as a hate crime, and the difference in those scenarios can understandably feel unfair.”

A white person can be the victim of a hate crime, McNerthney added. County prosecutors have filed cases where there is evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a white victim was targeted based on the perception of their race.

Police right now are referring to the case as an “assault investigation.”

Seattle stabbings: What happened on Nov. 8

That suspect is also tied to a series of similar stabbings that began early Thursday morning, according to issued on the . In all, 10 people were stabbed between Thursday morning and the mass stabbing Friday afternoon.

Members of the department responded to the intersection of 10th Avenue South and South Jackson Street for reports of five people stabbed at around 2 p.m. Friday, the SPD stated. Officers managed to detain the suspect without any additional incidents.

“Officers immediately conducted an area search and located a suspect near Pine (Street) …” SPD Deputy Chief Eric Barden said at a news conference Friday afternoon. “The suspect was arrested without incident. The weapon was recovered from within the vicinity of that suspect.”

Seattle Fire Department medics arrived on the scene and then transported four victims to Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center to be treated for serious injuries, . One of the victims was treated and released at the scene.

In addition, Barden reported a knife remained in one of the victims who went to Harborview.

“This is a horrific tragedy, a mass casualty event, and we have been working very hard in this area,” Barden said at his news conference.

Steve Hickey — on social media — obtained surveillance video of the start of the Friday stabbing attacks and shared it with 成人X站 Newsradio.

The video published on MyNorthwest stops just before the stabbing occurred. Viewer discretion is advised.

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) about the police presence and stated at the time all lanes in the area were blocked. The road opened back to commuters later on Friday.

“There’s gonna be a lot of investigation, a lot of follow-up, a lot of witness interviews,” Barden said. “Certainly they’re going to interview the suspect up at headquarters. We are processing the scenes where these different stabbings occurred.”

The previous Seattle stabbings ahead of Friday’s incident

, the SPD outlined the other stabbings that occurred before the suspect was arrested Friday afternoon:

• Early Thursday, a 52-year-old woman was found suffering from multiple stab wounds near 8th Avenue South and South King Street. She was transported to Harborview in serious condition.
• Just after noon Thursday, a 32-year-old man was found suffering from multiple stab wounds near 8th Avenue South and South Jackson Street. He was was transported to Harborview in serious condition.
• Around 8 p.m. Thursday, a 37-year-old man was found stabbed in the back near 8th Avenue South and South Jackson Street. The man, who suffered multiple stab wounds, was transported to Harborview.
• Just after 8:30 p.m. Thursday, a 60-year-old man was found inside his vehicle with a laceration to his hand 聽in the 800 block of South King Street beneath the Interstate 5 (I-5) freeway overpass. The department reported an assailant opened the driver’s side front door of the vehicle and attempted to stab the man in the chest. The man was transported to Harborview for further treatment.
• At about 1 a.m. Friday, officers responded to a reported assault near the intersection of 12th Avenue South and South Jackson Street that left a 53-year-old man bleeding heavily from a neck injury. The victim was transported to Harborview in serious condition.

“This incident was apparently one individual over a 38-hour period of time committing random assaults. That is an aberration. That is not at all the norm,” Barden said Friday. “With the suspect in custody. I think we are returned to normal, and in the coming weeks, we will be, we will be better than we are now.”

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell about the stabbings Saturday expressing significant disapproval that they happened, but gratitude for first responders who were able to help.

“The stabbings in Little Saigon and the Chinatown-International District are horrific, appalling, and shouldn鈥檛 occur anywhere in our city,” Harrell said. “I am grateful for the efforts of first responders in arresting a suspect and caring for the victims of these attacks. I hope for their speedy recovery.”

Harrell added he plans on taking a “proactive approach” to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

鈥淓very person deserves to feel and be safe, and I remain committed to using every tool available to improve the safety of Little Saigon and (the CID) for all residents, workers, and visitors,” Harrell’s statement reads. “We will continue to take a proactive approach to this ongoing challenge 鈥� increasing law enforcement resources and patrols to quickly respond to and deter illegal activities …”

According to a statement from the (EPD) released on its Sunday afternoon, the series of events that led to the freeway’s closure began when EPD officers were dispatched to a report of shots fired at the Park View Apartments located on block of W. Casino Road around 1 p.m.. When EPD officers arrived, they located two victims 鈥� a man who was dead and a woman with non-life-threatening injuries. The woman was transported to a local hospital.

Witnesses identified the suspect and his vehicle and informed officers he drove away from the scene. By 1:40 p.m., officers had located the suspect’s vehicle and began pursuit, which led to following the suspect onto I-5 north. The explained that after a short pursuit, the suspect vehicle crashed, near milepost 190.

Initial indications showed uninvolved vehicles were involved in the crash. Shortly after, EPD officers heard gun shots coming from the suspect’s vehicle. Eventually, officers were able to safely approach the vehicle and determined that suspect was dead. The EPD added that no members of a law enforcement agency fired any shots.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said 94.6% of voting workers rejected the聽, which would have raised pay 25% over four years, and 96% approved the strike, easily surpassing a two-thirds requirement.

The strike by 33,000 machinists began at midnight Friday morning.

The company said it was taking steps to conserve cash while its CEO looks for ways to come up with a contract that the unionized factory workers will accept.

Boeing stock fell more than 3% in afternoon trading, bringing its decline for the year to nearly 40%.

鈥淭his is about respect, this is about the past, and this is about fighting for our future,” IAM District 751 President Jon Holden said in announcing the vote, The Associated Press reported.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751 released a statement on its website on Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024 about rejecting Boeing’s contract proposal and reporting that a strike was set to begin. (Image courtesy of IAM District 751/iam751.org)

Union leader speaks out about the Boeing strike vote

Holden answered questions at a press conference Thursday night after the vote was completed, . When asked about concerns from union members who say the proposed deal was not what they were looking for, or who have expressed concerns that the union isn鈥檛 acting in their best interest, Holden disagreed with that assessment, but acknowledged union members had the final say.

“Well, I know that we鈥檙e acting in their best interests, so you know… we had an agreement that we negotiated and we recommended that because there was many important things in it, but within our system, our members have the final say,” Holden said, as noted in its coverage. “This is exactly how it should be, we achieved everything we could in bargaining, short of a strike, and now it鈥檚 in their hands.”

Holden also stated that Boeing’s promise to build its next plane in Puget Sound, which had been guaranteed under the rejected tentative agreement, was a key issue for the union.

“It鈥檚 a major issue for us to land that — it was a part of this agreement,” Holden said as cited. “There are other aspects of the agreement that clearly weren鈥檛 good enough for our members, but that will still be a priority for us — is to secure that work for the future.”

Holden also confirmed the strike would be an “unfair labor practice strike.” Violations of the law on the shop floor such as discriminatory conduct, coercive questioning, unlawful surveillance and unlawful promise of benefits were cited.

“We have a right to communicate; we have a right to use fliers, and some of that was inhibited,” Holden said, according to .

The union plans on communicating with members primarily through electronic surveys, by email, and by phone.

A Boeing spokesman sent a statement to multiple media outlets, including 成人X站 Newsradio, late Thursday acknowledging the result of the vote and pledging to work with its employees to get a deal done.

“The message was clear that the tentative agreement we reached with IAM leadership was not acceptable to the members,” the statement reads. “We remain committed to resetting our relationship with our employees and the union, and we are ready to get back to the table to reach a new agreement.”

Boeing’s rough patch continues

A walkout won’t cause flight cancellations or directly affect airline passengers, but it would be 听迟辞听听补苍诲听聽in a year marked by problems in its聽, defense and聽 operations.

Very little has gone right for Boeing this year, from a panel blowing out and leaving a gaping hole in one of its passenger jets in January to NASA leaving two astronauts in space rather sending them home on a problem-plagued Boeing spacecraft.

Tough year: A strike would add to turbulent times at Boeing

As long as the strike lasts, it will deprive Boeing of much-needed cash that it gets from delivering new planes to airlines. That will be another challenge for new CEO聽, who six weeks ago was given the job of turning around a company that has lost more than $25 billion in the last six years and fallen behind European rival Airbus.

Ortberg made a last-ditch effort to salvage a deal that had unanimous backing from the union’s negotiators. He told machinists Wednesday that 鈥渘o one wins鈥� in a walkout, and that a strike would put Boeing鈥檚 recovery in jeopardy and raise more doubt about the company in the eyes of its airline customers.

鈥淔or Boeing, it is no secret that our business is in a difficult period, in part due to our own mistakes in the past,鈥� he said. 鈥淲orking together, I know that we can get back on track, but a strike would put our shared recovery in jeopardy, further eroding trust with our customers and hurting our ability to determine our future together.鈥�

Workers were in no mood to listen.

Holden said Ortberg faced a difficult position because machinists are bitter about stagnant wages and concessions they have made since 2008 on pensions and health care to prevent the company from moving jobs elsewhere.

鈥淚t’s hard to make up for 16 years,” he said.

The vote was also a rebuke to Holden and union negotiators, who recommended that workers approve the contract offer. Holden, who predicted that聽, said the union will survey members to decide what issues they want to stress when negotiations resume.

Boeing workers express their frustration

Union members posted complaints about the deal all week on social media, often demanding bigger raises. On Thursday, several dozen blew whistles, banged drums and held up signs calling for a strike as they marched to a union hall near Boeing鈥檚 737 Max plant in Renton.

Shortly after midnight, striking workers stood outside the Boeing factory in Renton, with signs reading, “Historic contract my a**” and “Have you seen the damn housing prices?” Car horns honked and a boom box played songs including Twisted Sister鈥檚 鈥淲e鈥檙e Not Gonna Take It鈥� and Taylor Swift鈥檚 鈥淟ook What You Made Me Do.”

鈥淎s you can see, the solidarity is here,鈥� said Chase Sparkman, a quality-assurance worker. 鈥淚鈥檓 expecting my union brothers and sisters to stand shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, and let our company know that, hey, we deserve more.鈥�

The machinists make $75,608 per year on average, not counting overtime, and that would rise to $106,350 at the end of the four-year contract, according to Boeing.

However, the deal fell short of the union鈥檚 initial demand for pay raises of 40% over three years. The union also wanted to restore traditional pensions that were axed a decade ago but settled for an increase in Boeing contributions to employee鈥檚 401(k) retirement accounts.

Boeing worker Adam Vogel called the 25% raise 鈥渁 load of crap. We haven鈥檛 had a raise in 16 years.”

Broderick Conway, another quality-assurance worker and 16-year Boeing employee, said the company can afford more.

鈥淎 lot of the members are pretty upset about our first offer. We鈥檙e hoping that the second offer is what we鈥檙e looking for,鈥� he said. “If not … we’re going to keep striking and stand up for ourselves.鈥�

Machinists, like Chris, who declined to give his last name, told 成人X站 Newsradio they’re ready to hit the picket line.

“I’m going to vote ‘yes’ for strike, ‘no’ for the contract,” Chris said.

previously caught up with a worker, who says the company’s offer does not go far enough to support workers financially.

“You shouldn’t have to go to the food bank to survive, especially when you’re skilled. You’re building planes,” the worker said.

The head of Boeing鈥檚 commercial-airplanes business, Stephanie Pope, tried earlier this week to discourage workers from thinking a strike would result in a better offer.

鈥淲e bargained in absolute good faith with the IAM team that represents you and your interests,鈥� she said. 鈥淟et me be clear: We did not hold back with an eye on a second vote.鈥�

Boeing Chief Financial Officer Brian West, speaking Friday at an investor conference in California, said the company was disappointed that it had a deal with union leadership, only to see it rejected by rank-and-file workers.

Vote took place Thursday: Who the Boeing strike will affect

Voting took place at union halls in Washington, Portland, Oregon, and a smattering of other locations.

Boeing believed it offered a significant benefit to the union by promising to build its next new plane in the Puget Sound area if workers ratified the contract. That plane 鈥� not expected until sometime in the 2030s 鈥� would replace the 737 Max. It was a key win for union leaders, who want to avoid a repeat of Boeing moving production of Dreamliners from the Seattle area to South Carolina.

The strike will stop production of聽, Boeing’s best-selling airliner, along with the 777 or 鈥渢riple-seven鈥� jet and the 767 cargo plane at factories in Renton and Everett. It likely will not affect Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which are built by nonunion .

TD Cowen aerospace analyst Cai von Rumohr said before the vote that it is realistic based on the history of Boeing strikes 鈥� the last two were in 1995 and 2008 鈥� to figure that a walkout would last into mid-November, when workers’ $150 weekly payments from the union’s strike fund might seem low going into the holidays.

A strike that long would cost Boeing up to $3.5 billion in cash flow because the company gets about 60% of the sale price when it delivers a plane to the buyer, von Rumohr said.

Holden told members Monday the union got everything it could in bargaining and recommended approval of the deal “because we can鈥檛 guarantee we can achieve more in a strike.鈥� But many of the rank-and-file remembered the concessions on pensions, health care and pay.

鈥淭hey are upset. They have a lot of things they want. I think Boeing understands that and wants to satisfy a fair number of them,鈥� said von Rumohr, the aerospace analyst. 鈥淭he question is, are they going to do enough?鈥�

Boeing has seen its reputation battered since two 737 Max聽聽in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people. The safety of its products came under renewed scrutiny after a聽聽of a Max during a flight in January.

And now it faces a strike that could cause it to fall farther behind European rival Airbus in orders and deliveries of new jetliners.

What the Crisis Recovery Center provided

The Crisis Recovery Center, also referred to as the CRC, was supposed to be a place for people who needed support facing a mental health or substance abuse crisis. The CRC was a voluntary intake center and accepted everyone regardless of their insurance status. It offered a stable place for first responders to take community members to who needed help.

Once admitted, the patient had access to medical and psychiatric attention, as well as detox, stabilization and other wraparound services to address their needs.

The county hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony in August 2021 to celebrate the opening of the then-new Crisis Recovery Center. In a clip of the ceremony, Senior Counsel for the County Executive of Pierce County Steve O鈥橞an can be heard saying that it was “a place where people who need vital care can get it at the time they need it most.”

But , the provider that operated the center, announced they were closing it along with their in March, citing financial reasons, according to O’Ban. The treatment center in Fife is operated by a private landlord, but the CRC is under Pierce County鈥檚 jurisdiction.

What’s next for the Crisis Recovery Center?

O鈥橞an said that a new provider was selected to reopen the center, but “they need to get rates finalized from the healthcare authority before they can bring their business model to Pierce County,” which “typically get negotiated and finalized in the spring of every year” — meaning they may not be able to launch services again until later in 2025.

To speed up the process, Pierce County Executive Bruce Dammeier issued a letter to the state healthcare authority urging them to get the rates established now so they can reopen the center before then. However, that process is still undergoing review. (The letter Dammeier wrote can be viewed as a PDF .)

For now, while the center remains closed, , which is the state’s Behavioral Health Administrative Services Organization (BH-ASO) in the Pierce County region, to help residents’ mental health needs. But the crisis response isn鈥檛 as smooth as it once was while the center was open.

For example, if first responders can鈥檛 stabilize a patient on the scene, they are often left with taking people to an emergency department, or in some cases that escalate into violence, to the local jail. Neither of these options are ideal, according to some of the mental health providers in Pierce County.

They respond to 911 calls in the Tacoma, Fife, and Fircrest region if there鈥檚 need of de-escalation, safety planning, case management or other stabilization services. Their goal is to divert people they respond to from both the emergency room and jail.

Aleesia Morales and Cassie Hallstone, program directors of HOPE, said they鈥檝e had to adapt now that the center is closed.

“We are doing a lot of that work in the community with people,” Morales said.

She added that they have to do a “higher level of follow-up” to connect their clients to other forms of support.

Hallstone said that about a third of the people they鈥檝e contacted ‘have some level of suicidality, and would benefit from offering stabilization.”

She illustrated the difficulties with sending someone to the ER, where 鈥渢hey will sit in the waiting room on their own, and oftentimes they will leave before they’re even triaged to be admitted to the emergency room.” Those people might get called on again, and 鈥渨e can’t track the number of people who are actually seeking services if they aren’t ever being admitted to the ER,” she said.

That’s opposed to taking them to the stabilization unit, where they “knew the outcome,” she added.

Pierce County’s mental health service needs are growing

The need for mental health support is increasing in Pierce County. The county received proposals from 60 organizations requesting $63 million in funding for the 2024-2025 budget. However, only $29 million was awarded to 28 programs. (A Pierce County Council meeting agenda from Aug. 15, 2023 can be seen as a PDF .)

“We’re very flexible and so services, when they’re available, we use them and if they’re not available, then we adjust and figure out how to support the community because the community is requesting services and support,” Morales said.

Until the state finalizes their rates with the new provider, the center will remain closed.

Captain Alan L. Williams, 74, “passed away peacefully, surrounded by his wife of 50 years, along with his four sons, family, and loved ones,” the family statement distributed by the (Puget Sound Fire) to multiple media outlets reads.

Williams’ floatplane crashed into the lake Saturday morning several hundred feet from the lake’s shore. Rescuers pulled him from the floatplane and when he was removed from the aircraft, emergency responders say he was unconscious. From there, rescuers performed CPR. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he died.

“Alan was a career pilot with a highly decorated 55-year career in aviation,” the family said the statement. “His love of flying was only surpassed by his love for his wife, children, and grandchildren. He was a selfless person who was always there to help those around him. Like the love he showed others, our heartbreak cannot be put into words.

The family thanked “friends and neighbors for their heroic call to action” and praised and thanked the Puget Sound Fire and the Kent Police Department for their professionalism shown. Thanks to those efforts and the care provided by the staff at Harborview Medical Center, “we were given a few more days with him,” the family added.

The family has asked that, in lieu of any flowers or gifts, people make a donation in Williams’ name to in Seattle.

What happened on the day of the floatplane crash in Lake Meridian

Around 10:10 a.m. last Saturday, several people called 911 to report Williams’ floatplane had crashed into the lake.

The plane was upside down after the crash, with its floats sticking out of the water.

Police say the boaters who were first to arrive at the scene made attempts to tow the sinking aircraft to shore.

Crews from Puget Sound Fire responded and were at the scene within minutes. When the firefighters arrived, they began attempts to get the pilot out of the aircraft.

Firefighters, an officer with the Kent Police Department and a private resident all joined in the effort to pull the pilot from the downed plane.

In addition to offering travel tips for the upcoming holiday, WSDOT has announced significant changes and improvements coming to Highway 2 aimed at easing congestion and enhancing safety. One of the key projects will be the installation of a new roundabout in Sultan. This roundabout will replace an existing traffic light, allowing for continuous traffic flow and reducing wait times.

Eric Zackula, a spokesperson for WSDOT, highlighted the importance of the new roundabout — located at the intersection of Old Owen Road.

“People won鈥檛 have to wait for a light to turn green because there won鈥檛 be a light. The project itself goes from State Route 9 (SR 9) to Gold Bar and has 11 locations,” Zackula explained. “We鈥檙e doing a variety of things like installing delineation signing, curb ramps, curbing, crosswalks and then there’s the roundabout.

“A lot of that road is one lane in each direction, so if there鈥檚 an incident like a collision, both directions of traffic are oftentimes affected,” Zackula continued. “The safety improvements will help mitigate situations like that.”

The timeline for these improvements is set to begin with the selection of a contractor in the third quarter of 2025.

“They may get some work done out there in 2025,” Zackula said. “But I think most of it will probably happen in 2026.”

The planned improvements include:

• 搁辞耻苍诲补产辞耻迟:听The new roundabout at Old Owen Road will replace the existing traffic light, allowing for continuous traffic flow and reducing wait times.
• Delineation Signing: Clear and visible signs will be installed to guide drivers and improve lane discipline.
• Curb Ramps and Curbing: These will enhance accessibility and safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
• Crosswalks: New crosswalks will be added to improve pedestrian safety at key intersections.

These measures are expected to significantly impact traffic flow and safety.

“The safety improvements will help mitigate situations like that,” Zackula said. “Plus, for off-peak travel times, travel will be more free-flowing at intersections.”

WSDOT鈥檚 plan also includes provisions for future growth and increased traffic volumes.

“We鈥檙e not just thinking about the current situation,” Zackula emphasized. “We鈥檙e planning for the future to ensure that our roads can handle increased demand.”

Travelers beware: Cyberattack causing major issues at Sea-Tac Airport

For those planning to travel on Highway 2 this Labor Day weekend, Zackula emphasized again that it’s important to check the WSDOT website for up-to-date travel information.

“If you鈥檙e using Highway 2 this weekend, we鈥檙e coming up on Labor Day weekend. People can find out before they go on their trip by going to our website and looking at our holiday travel charts for U.S. 2, so that they can plan their trip in advance,” he said.

Zackula stated WSDOT鈥檚 upcoming project aims to transform a notoriously congested stretch of highway into a safer, more efficient route for all travelers. With a combination of new infrastructure and strategic improvements, Zackula said the department wants to ensure that weekend trips back from the mountains are smoother and less stressful for everyone.

“There’s currently no estimated point of return,” for affected services, Sea-Tac Airport spokesperson Perry Cooper said, opening the press conference. He reminded travelers to rely on their airline’s website, apps and other sources for information as the relevant services from the airport are still down.

Alaska Airlines, Delta and other major airlines who do not share counters in the terminal area are less impacted than airlines like Frontier, Sun Country and Spirit, Cooper said.

Some airlines 鈥� like the ones using shared working space at Sea-Tac Airport 鈥� are having to resort to using pen and paper to track baggage, as their companies have not brought in their own computers so they rely on airport’s, Cooper added.

“International is a challenge,” Cooper said to 成人X站 Newsradio before the press conference. This is because they share counters with other airlines, they have lower staff and they are having to handle baggage operations with handwritten notes.

Sea-Tac Airport’s X account, , reported Monday afternoon that Visitor Pass and Airport Lost and Found at this time.

Cooper said at the press conference Monday TSA systems are unaffected because they use independent systems from the port. He also confirmed to 成人X站 Newsradio there have been no issues or trouble with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and air traffic control.

The investigation is still ongoing but, to this point, he has seen “no indication” of compromised passenger information.

Cooper says Sea-Tac Airport is working with federal agencies, including the FBI.

The level of disruption on the Port of Seattle still isn’t known. The port’s websites, including the Sea-Tac Airport pages, remained unavailable for users as of 5:15 p.m. Monday. for those interested in getting regular updates about what’s happening at the airport.

The Port of Seattle Maritime Facilities phone systems are down as a part of the outage, according to just before 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

Trouble for travelers at Sea-Tac Airport

Some arriving passengers at Sea-Tac Airport are still dealing with issues getting their bags quickly after the suspected cyberattack. An airport official told 成人X站 Newsradio Monday the barcode scanner inside the conveyor belt system isn’t working, so extra staff are picking up slack.

Carousels in the baggage claim area were running Monday morning, but some of the information screens aren’t showing which flight goes where. So, families are listening for updates over the PA system and then they’re hurrying to the carousel.

A spokesperson for Alaska Airlines said staff was manually sorting over 7,000 bags, because “a majority” of checked bags missed their flights over the weekend, The Seattle Times reported.

成人X站 Newsradio also discovered issues on the main floor at the airport. Self-service check-in terminals are giving the Windows noting that “Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart.”

Meanwhile, multiple Spirit Airlines customers said to 成人X站 Newsradio agents’ computers are down and they have been waiting at check-in for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Those people were probably about halfway to the front.

In the international area, passengers headed to Frankfurt had waited 1 1/2 hours to move about 50 feet from the start of the line. They had about 2/3 of the way to go, around 3:30 p.m., while trying to make a 5 p.m. flight.

Despite the issues some customers faced, Cooper has credited the airlines with bringing in extra staff and playing catch up. He was not seeing as many delays Monday as over the weekend.

“We鈥檙e doing better today than last couple days,” Cooper said to 成人X站 Newsradio.

The numbers seen on , the website that tracks the status of flights and when they’re leaving and arriving at airports, appears to be backing up Cooper’s assertion as 218 flights at Sea-Tac Airport have been delayed and seven have been canceled as of 5:15 p.m. Monday.

On Sunday, 503 flights were delayed at Sea-Tac Airport and five flights were canceled, according to .听The number of delays had risen steadily through the day with a spike in the afternoon and another one at night as there were 375 delays reported at 8 p.m., 322 delays reported at around 5 p.m., 144 delays at noon, 73 delays at 9 a.m. and 23 delays at 5:10 a.m.

How we got here: ‘Possible cyberattack’ hits Sea-Tac Airport

Cooper said investigators are still trying to determine the nature of the cyber attack, he said airport personnel noticed “nefarious characters” in the system early Saturday and administrators decided to shut the whole system down.

Just after 9 a.m. Saturday is when the Port of Seattle and the airport began publicly alerting the problem to potential issues. That is the time the Port of Seattle first detailed the issues in a post on .听听辞苍听聽at that time encouraged passengers to check with their airlines for the latest for their flights as well.

The initial communication from the Port of Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport did not indicate the internet outage may have come from any sort of cyber attack.
