s FIFA World Cup 26TM matches come to Seattle and nine Fan Zones around the state for the very first time this summer, Washington is proud to host one of the most attended sporting events in the world. A sporting event of this scale will bring new businesses to Washington state along with a surge in customers for restaurants, hotels, and shops already operating here. The Attorney General’s Office of Washington State (AGO), the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I), and the Seattle Office of Labor Standards (OLS) enforce state and local labor law. These public agencies are taking this opportunity to remind workers of their rights and businesses of their responsibilities. By working together and following the law, we can ensure a safe, fun, and respectful time for all. For the past year, the AGO, L&I, and OLS have been meeting regularly with a focus on strategic enforcement of wage and hour laws in high violation industries. We will leverage that partnership to ensure that labor laws are enforced effectively during the FIFA World Cup 26TM. As we head into the FWC26, our agencies will provide a coordinated, rapid, and effective response to any labor complaints that arise. We will address complaints received from workers, ensure complaints are routed correctly, and work collaboratively on enforcement in high violation industries. OLS is also leading its strategic compliance campaign “Protecting Worker Rights is Our Goal” with multilingual worker education, business education, and expanded employer trainings to promote compliance with Seattle’s labor standards and empower workers with the knowledge of their workplace protections. Below is a list of some Washington labor laws that employers must follow. Please note: The laws discussed below apply to all workers regardless of their immigration status. Minimum Wage: As of January 1, 2026, Washington’s minimum wage is $17.13 per hour. Some cities and counties set the minimum wage higher than the state, including unincorporated King County, Everett, Burien, Renton, SeaTac, Tukwila, and Bellingham. Seattle’s minimum wage, for example, is $21.30 per hour. Tips and Service Charges: Employers are required to pay their employees all tips and service charges. Tips and service charges cannot be part of the employee’s minimum hourly wage. Meal & Rest Breaks: For every four hours worked, employees are required to have a 10-minute rest break, free from workplace duties. Employees also must be allowed a meal period of at least thirty minutes when they work more than five hours in a shift. Meal periods must be provided between the second and fifth hour of work. Employers must also provide employees with reasonable access to bathrooms while working.

Staff Report

he Seattle Fire Department and MOHAI will host Fire Day at MOHAI from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the museum, located at 860 Terry Ave. N. The event is designed to connect Seattle history with modern fire safety, giving families a chance to learn about the 1889 fire while meeting current firefighters and exploring firefighting equipment. The Great Seattle Fire began on June 6, 1889, and destroyed much of the city’s downtown

business district. The disaster became a turning point in Seattle’s development, leading to major rebuilding efforts and changes in how the city approached fire safety, infrastructure and construction. This year’s anniversary event will give children and families a hands-on look at that history. According to the Seattle Fire Department, visitors will be able to climb aboard a working fire engine and ladder truck, tour a modern fireboat, watch firefighters demonstrate gear, try on firefighting equipment

and participate in fire safety activities. The event will also include firefighter story time and hands-on history activities. Seattle Fire says young visitors will be able to explore artifacts and take home fire safety materials. For families, the event offers more than a museum stop. It is a way to connect one of Seattle’s most important historical events with practical lessons about fire prevention and home safety. The anniversary also highlights the work

of the Seattle Fire Department, which today operates 33 fire stations throughout the city and responds to fires, medical emergencies and other disasters. Fire Day at MOHAI is free and family-friendly. The program runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 6. The event is likely to appeal to young children interested in fire trucks, families looking for a low-cost weekend outing and anyone interested in how the Great Seattle Fire helped shape the city that exists today.

From Diamond Dogs to Dawg Territory Staff Report

or most young softball players, college stadiums exist only in dreams and on television screens. But on a picture-perfect spring afternoon, the Queen Anne Little League Diamond Dogs got the opportunity of a lifetime: taking the field at the University of Washington Softball Stadium, one of the premier venues in collegiate softball. Each year, the District 8 softball community selects just 12 teams to participate in this special event, giving young athletes the chance to experience the game in a setting typically reserved for elite college players. This year, the Diamond Dogs, proudly sponsored by Ben Hoefer Realty, earned that coveted invitation. From the moment they stepped through the gates, the excitement was impossible to miss. Players lined their softball bags neatly along the dugout walls, just as college athletes do. Bats found their way into official bat boxes.

Savvy Senior:

DAWG TERRITORY, FROM 1 Cleats clicked across the concrete before sinking into the immaculate turf, where every step seemed to carry a little extra meaning. For one unforgettable day, these young players weren’t just imagining what it would be like to play at the next level— they were living it. The setting itself couldn’t have been better. Sunshine filled the stadium throughout the day as temperatures climbed above 80 degrees, creating a spectacular backdrop for an afternoon of softball. Surrounded by the beauty of the University of Washington campus and one of the nation’s most recognizable softball facilities, the Diamond Dogs soaked in every moment. Leading the charge in the circle were pitchers Murphy, Mia, and Willa, who each took turns on the mound and battled through a challenging lineup. At the plate, the Diamond Dogs showcased plenty of offensive firepower. Viv, Nora, Gabby, and Fenna delivered some of the game’s most memorable hits, sending teammates and fans into celebration throughout the afternoon. Every crack of the bat echoed through the stadium and reminded players just how special it felt to compete on such a grand stage. The excitement didn’t stop there. On the basepaths, Vivian, Vivienne, and Naomi turned up the pressure with aggressive baserunning, leading the team in stolen bases and creating scoring opportunities with their speed and confidence. Defensively, Madi and Clementine highlighted the Diamond Dogs’ effort in the field with several exciting plays that drew cheers from teammates and spectators alike. Whether tracking down a ball in the outfield or making a key defensive stop, the team’s commitment never wavered. The dugout was just as lively as the action on the field. Throughout the game, spirited cheers rang out from Anna, Harper, Heidi, and Chloe, whose encouragement helped keep energy high from start to finish. Meanwhile, Dugout Manager Louella performed the often-unsung role of keeping equipment organized, players prepared, and the organized chaos of youth softball running smoothly.

I Have a Will - Do I Also Need a Trust?

Dear Savvy Senior. My wife and I were recently talking about updating our will and wondered if we should also set up a trust. How do we know if we need one? —Planning Ahead

Dear Planning, hat’s an excellent question. A will is one of the most important tools in estate planning, but many people wonder if it’s enough, or if adding a trust makes sense. The answer depends on your finances, your family situation, and what you want your plan to accomplish. Here’s a simple way to think about it. WHAT A WILL DOES A will spells out who gets your assets after you pass away. It also names an executor to carry out your wishes and can designate a guardian for minor children. The downside is that a will must go through probate, which is the court process that validates it and oversees distribution. Probate can take months and, in many states, becomes part of the public record. WHAT A TRUST ADDS A trust works a little differently. A revocable living trust holds your assets during your lifetime and directs how they’ll be distributed after your death, without going through probate. Unlike a will, it stays private and lets a successor trustee step in immediately if you can’t manage your finances, which is useful in cases of illness, injury, or dementia. Trusts can also help with complicated family situations, like blended families or children with special needs, giving you more control over who gets what and when. The biggest challenge is that you have to move your accounts and property into the trust yourself, which takes time and care. Most people who create a trust also keep a simple “pour-over will” to catch anything that wasn’t transferred. Because trusts are more complex, they usually cost more than a will. Attorneys typically charge $1,000 to $3,000 for a trust versus $300 to

$1,200 for a will, although costs vary depending on the estate and location. You can use do-it-yourself options like Quicken WillMaker & Trust, Trust & Will or LegalZoom to save money, but they’re generally best for simple situations. If your finances or family circumstances are more complicated, hiring an attorney is usually worth the cost. WHEN A TRUST MAKES SENSE You might benefit from a trust if you own real estate – especially in more than one state – want to avoid the costs and delays of probate or prefer to keep your estate matters private. It’s also helpful if you have a larger estate, a blended family, or want to ensure someone can manage your finances if you become incapacitated. WHEN A WILL MAY BE ENOUGH If your estate is relatively small, your family situation is simple, and most of your assets already have named beneficiaries – like life insurance, IRAs, or bank accounts with pay-on-death or transfer-on-death designations – a will may be all you need. Some states also offer simplified probate for small estates, which can make the process quicker and cheaper. You don’t need a trust just because you have a will. But if avoiding probate, protecting privacy, or managing assets during incapacity is important to you, a trust is worth considering. Even a modest estate can benefit from a clear plan. GETTING HELP If you don’t already have an attorney, a good estate-planning professional can help figure out what’s right for you. Two trusted resources are the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela.org) and the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (naepc. org), both of which let you search for local professionals. Taking the time to put a plan in place, whether it’s a will, a trust, or both, can protect your loved ones, ease stress, and give you peace of mind now and in the future. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

While wins and losses are always part of sports, the significance of the day extended far beyond the final score. The RUG Little League Ravens provided the opposition, and while the scoreboard ultimately favored the Ravens, the Diamond Dogs demonstrated the determination, energy, and teamwork that have defined their season. Queen Anne resident Nora (10) said “That was one of the coolest experiences of my life and I am so grateful I got to do it.” The Diamond Dogs represented not only their team but the entire Queen Anne Little League community. They experienced firsthand what it feels like to compete in a stadium that has hosted conference championships, NCAA tournaments, and some of the best players in the country. For sponsor and Queen Anne resident, Ben Hoefer, seeing the team enjoy the opportunity was every bit as rewarding as the action on the field. “What a thrill to watch these girls compete in a setting that they will one day aspire to play at,” said Hoefer. “This is an experience they’ll remember forever.” Head Coach Brooke Johnson, a Queen Anne community member and University of Washington alumna, reflected on both the game and the bigger picture. “I’m so proud of these players,” Johnson said. “They battled to the very end and had so much fun doing it. Today they got to be the Diamond DaWgs, and they will always remember that!” As the final outs were recorded and the players gathered their gear, smiles remained everywhere. Photos were taken, memories were shared, and one thing became abundantly clear: the day had been about far more than softball. For a few magical hours, a group of young athletes got to picture themselves as future Huskies, future college players, and future competitors chasing big dreams. Whether their softball journeys continue for a few more years or all the way to the collegiate level, they’ll always have this memory—a sunny afternoon at Husky Softball Stadium, wearing Diamond Dogs jerseys and living out a dream together. And while the Ravens may have taken home the victory, the Diamond Dogs left with something even more valuable: an unforgettable experience that will stay with them for a lifetime.

LA Mayor Candidate Says Homeless Will Go to Seattle

Seattle Fifa World Cup 2026

Editor’s note: This article has been edited for length and is being republished as part of broader public-interest coverage. The views, opinions and claims attributed to Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt are his own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Queen Anne & Magnolia News or its staff.

By Randy Diamond The Center Square

os Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is claiming that his hardline policies on the homeless will mean that thousands of the unhoused will relocate to Seattle, with its more permissive policies, if he is elected to office. The former reality television star-turnedpolitical candidate has made the homelessness issue a major part of his campaign. He argued in a recent interview with ABC Television that the vast majority of individuals living on the streets of Los Angeles are battling addiction rather than traditional homelessness, and he would require that they get treatment. Pratt asserted that if the city halts its funding for what he described as a “broken nonprofit system,” many of these individuals will choose to leave Los Angeles for cities with more permissive policies, specifically citing Seattle. “They’re not homeless, they’re drug addicts,” Pratt said during the interview. “These people have been bused in by scam rehabs, scam NGOs, scam homeless nonprofits. They’re all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them.” Mayor Katie Wilson’s office did not respond to requests for response to Pratt’s comments.

Wilson, who took office in January, had made her plan to create 4,000 units of emergency or temporary housing for the unhoused over the next four years a key part of her agenda. While counselors providing drug addiction and mental health counseling will be based at the new housing, there is no requirement that residents avail themselves of the services, raising public safety fears. Republican Pratt is running for Los Angeles mayor in the open primary elections scheduled for June 2. He has spent more than $3 million on his campaign to unseat incumbent Karen

Bass, with a strong focus on his plan to revamp services and housing for the homeless. While there are 13 candidates, polls have narrowed the race to Bass, Pratt, and Nithya Raman, who is considered a liberal and was a supporter of Bass. If no candidate gets 50% of the vote on June 2, the top two vote-getters will have a rematch in November. Under Pratt’s plan, drug-addicted persons would be forced to receive services. He said he would build prefabricated rehabilitation campuses on federal land outside Los Angeles, where individuals would be sent for treatment.

his winter was unusually dry. While we may have loved it, most of our plants did not. Here on the Western side of the Cascade Mountains, plants are adapted and expecting their dose of rain during winter and spring. My sunbaked driveway containers were the first to flag their distress. With less insulating soil than in a garden bed, my lupines started wilting and promptly got powdery mildew. They are blooming beautifully, but it looks like they are smiling through the discomfort. However, I was grateful for the communication. It was a reminder that I needed to start my watering schedule early this year – even before planting my tomatoes. Your large trees and shrubs are slower to show drought stress. They may be suffering underground and show no signs for six months or more.

Meanwhile, here are some strategies to help all our plants get through the summer. First, some basics: new plants and annual plants need water almost all the time in Seattle, because it doesn’t rain from June to September. Even famously drought-tolerant plants like sedums and agaves need time to adapt to your yard. And even the tallest, seemingly bulletproof trees get parched in excessive droughts – especially after a few in a row. For new or annual plants: Choose drought-adapted plants when possible but whatever plants you add, you’ll have to water consistently to get it rooted. Water, water, water Plants of all sizes can take two to three growing seasons to send out roots and “establish” in your garden. They need regular watering during all that time – perhaps daily during extreme heat events. Even two 80 -degree days amid cool spring weather can shock emerging or newly planted plants. For all: Zone your plants. To use your water the most efficiently, group

This is especially helpful to avoid wasting water or overwatering plants that don’t need it. Cover the soil Use nutritive arborist chips, compost, or a living mulch of groundcovers to moderate hot – and cold – soil temperatures while retaining moisture. Make an irrigation plan Drip irrigation and soaker hoses are the most efficient, conserving more water, and sending it to the roots where the plants and soil can use it effectively rather than evaporating in the air with sprinklers. “Smart” timers and apps can help you adjust your plan to the weather. I set alarms on my calendar to water my pots, because if I don’t, four days will go by without my noticing. Helpers If you must leave town, ollas and plant nannies can buy you a few extra days between waterings. Ollas are clay vessels you can buy or easily DIY, while clay plant nannies hold bottles that gently let water into the soil. First Aid and Troubleshooting Many plants wilt in the heat of midday. Check back at dusk to see if it’s recovered before watering. If it doesn’t or you see the soil is caked and hard, or pulling away from its container, this is a code red. The soil is likely hydrophobic and will repel water at this point. If in the ground, poke a few holes and slowly water to fully

frequently. If you give a plant a sprinkle every day, it will only send out roots to the top layer of soil. If instead you water deeply weekly (after establishment), it will grow deep roots to search for shade and water. Keep one eye on the rain. Notice when we have unusual dry spells in fall through spring, lack of snow cover, or extended heat waves. These are all signs that your landscape will be as thirsty as heck, even it doesn’t show it yet.
