  • Honoring Shawn Yim, Booming Tech Jobs, and Affordable Housing Investments in Seattle
    2025/01/10
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for January 10, 2025. Today, our city comes together to honor the memory of King County Metro Transit Operator Shawn Yim, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty on December 18. A procession of several dozen buses and transit vehicles will travel through downtown Seattle, starting at 10 a.m. in the SODO area and ending at Lumen Field Event Center, where a memorial service will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. We encourage everyone to allow extra travel time due to temporary traffic delays.

    In other news, Seattle's tech job market is booming, with a focus on AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity roles. AI engineering roles are seeing a 60% increase, with salaries reaching $190,000. Data science jobs have a 48% growth rate, and cybersecurity roles are up by 42%. Entry-level developer salaries start at $85,000, despite the 42% higher living cost. Seattle boasts over 1,300 tech companies, offering robust career advancement opportunities.

    Moving to city hall, the Seattle City Council recently adopted the 2025-2026 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Program, which includes historic investments in affordable housing, totaling $342 million. The budget also adds $5.2 million in renter assistance and increases public safety investments, including restoring prosecutor positions and adding dedicated staff to the 911 Emergency Communications Dispatcher.

    In real estate, while there are no major updates on specific property sales or new development projects today, the city's commitment to affordable housing is a significant step forward. We'll keep an eye on how these investments impact our community.

    Weather-wise, it's a chilly morning, but we're expecting a mostly sunny day with temperatures in the mid-40s. Perfect weather for attending the memorial service for Shawn Yim or exploring our city's outdoor spaces.

    In new business activity, there are no major openings or closings to report today, but we're excited about the growth in our tech sector. Upcoming community events include the memorial service at Lumen Field and various activities at our local libraries and community centers.

    In local school achievements, we're proud of our students who continue to excel in various fields, though we don't have specific updates today. In sports, our local teams are gearing up for their next matches, and we're looking forward to cheering them on.

    For a feel-good community story, let's highlight the resilience and solidarity shown by our city in coming together to honor Shawn Yim. It's a powerful reminder of the strength of our community.

    In today's crime report, we're focusing on the memorial service and procession for Shawn Yim. It's a somber reminder of the risks our public servants face and the importance of community support.

    This has been Seattle Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Seattle's Latest: Suspect in Fatal Stabbing, Job Market Competition, and Community Events
    2025/01/08
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for January 8, 2025. We're starting off the day with some breaking news from the past few days. A suspect in the stabbing murder of a Metro bus driver is expected in court today. Additionally, an Oregon market was left reeling after a truck smashed through the door, and a man was found dead on a Parkland jogging trail, with deputies suspecting homicide.

    Moving on to the job market, Washington state has been named the most competitive job market in the U.S., with Seattle ranking in the top 10 most competitive cities. According to an analysis by Resume.io, there are approximately 41 applicants per job in Washington, significantly more than the next most competitive states. This trend is driven by a vast increase in applicants per role in the Seattle area, particularly due to recent tech layoffs. The number of applicants per job has risen from 7.5 to 40.9 in the past 12 months, a staggering 445.4% increase.

    In real estate news, the Seattle City Council recently adopted a historic budget that includes a $342 million investment in affordable housing, a nearly fivefold increase since 2019. This budget also adds $5.2 million in renter assistance and restores prosecutor positions in the City Attorney’s Office to enhance public safety.

    Speaking of public safety, the city has seen several incidents in the past 24 hours. A woman was killed in SODO traffic lanes after being hit by a sedan, and a car-struck hydrant flooded a Kent apartment complex, displacing several families. The American Red Cross and PSF responded to assist those affected.

    On a lighter note, the city is gearing up for some exciting community events. The Pioneer Square walkability project has been completed, boosting downtown and waterfront access. The monorail renovation is also underway to ease crowd flow for potential NBA returns and major Seattle events.

    In sports news, the Seahawks recently missed the playoffs, drawing mixed reactions from fans. However, the team did manage a 30-25 win over the playoff-bound Rams, with Geno Smith throwing a career-high 4 TD passes.

    Looking at the weather, today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 49 degrees. A new public zone map aims to enhance the accuracy of weather warnings in western Washington, which will be particularly useful given the cold temperatures and snow affecting the U.S. from the Midwest to the East Coast.

    In business news, several local restaurants are bracing for price hikes as the minimum wage rises and the tip credit ends. On a positive note, the city's budget includes funding for neighborhood safety ambassadors and additional homelessness housing and shelter.

    Finally, in a feel-good community story, Everett firefighters are aiming to raise $100,000 for leukemia research ahead of the LLS stairclimb. This initiative highlights the community's commitment to supporting important causes.

  • Seattle Local Pulse: January 6, 2025 - Reflecting on Jan 6th, job market update, weather forecast, and community events.
    2025/01/06
    Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for January 6, 2025.

    As we start the day, let's take a moment to reflect on the national scene. Today marks the four-year anniversary of the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, a day that left a lasting impact on the nation. In Washington D.C., preparations are underway to ensure a peaceful transfer of power, with local and federal law enforcement agencies on full alert and 500 soldiers with the D.C. National Guard standing ready to assist if needed[4].

    Closer to home, let's dive into the local job market. Seattle continues to be a hub of opportunity, with a variety of new job postings from top local employers. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is seeking an Administrative Assistant I, offering a competitive hourly rate of $20.50 to $27.50. For those interested in seasonal roles, Bearing Tours LLC is hiring a Tour Guide/Concierge for a position that runs from May to September, with the possibility of additional work throughout the year. The Seattle area is also looking for a 2025 MLB Official Scorer (Seasonal) to make and announce game decisions based on the Official Baseball Rules[2].

    On the broader job market front, Washington state has been identified as having the most competitive job market in the U.S., driven by a significant increase in applicants per role in the Seattle area. According to an analysis by Resume.io, there are approximately 41 applicants per job in Washington, significantly more than the next most competitive states, Colorado and Massachusetts[5].

    Moving to real estate, home and mortgage prices in Seattle are up, but so is inventory. Would-be buyers face steep upfront costs, but the growing number of available houses offers more choices. The median home prices and inventory levels are something we'll continue to monitor closely[3].

    In city hall news, Seattle Public Schools is weighing changes to regular school hours, a decision that could impact daily life for many families. Additionally, two popular Seattle parks will close early this summer, a move aimed at ensuring public safety and maintenance[3].

    Weather-wise, we're looking at a dramatic shift in the next few days. The National Weather Service in Seattle predicts temperatures could reach 70 degrees on Thursday, followed by snow flurries on Sunday morning. This potent storm system is expected to bring windy conditions, high surf, and heavy rain, so plan your activities accordingly[3].

    In new business activity, while there are no major openings or closings to report today, we do note that Alaska Airlines has announced a 2% reduction in flights until July, a move aimed at addressing a pilot shortage[3].

    Looking ahead to community events, the Space Needle is honoring its anniversary with a contest to paint its roof using Galaxy Gold, offering five people a unique opportunity to leave their mark on this iconic landmark[3].

    In local school achievements, we'll be keeping an eye on upcoming sports results and academic achievements, so stay tuned for updates.

    Finally, in today's crime report, there are no significant incidents or public safety alerts from the past 24 hours to report. However, we do note that local law enforcement agencies are always on the lookout for ways to improve public safety.

    This has been Seattle Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
