As Temperatures Climb, Queen Anne Feels the Loss of Its Pool

In This Issue:

With Queen Anne Pool closed until fall 2027, Seattle Parks has expanded swimming opportunities at Magnolia’s Mounger Pool Utility Discounts Page 5

A

s temperatures climb toward the 90s this week, Queen Anne residents are entering the hottest stretch of the summer without a familiar neighborhood destination. Queen Anne Pool remains closed because of a significant underground leak and is not expected to reopen until fall 2027. To help absorb the loss, Seattle Parks and Recreation has expanded summer programming at Mounger Pool in Magnolia, adding 1,200 swim lesson spaces and more public swimming. The National Weather Service issued a Heat Advisory for Seattle from 10 a.m. Tuesday through 11 p.m. Wednesday. Temperatures could reach 88 to 95 degrees, with overnight lows between 60 and 65.

The heat poses a moderate to major risk of heat-related illness, particularly for people without effective cooling or adequate hydration. Although pools are not substitutes for designated cooling centers, they offer recreation when high temperatures make many other outdoor activities uncomfortable. For Queen Anne residents seeking a full-size swimming pool, however, that now requires a trip to another neighborhood. Seattle Parks closed Queen Anne Pool in November 2025 after it began losing approximately 400,000 gallons of water each month. Testing traced the leaks to underground inflow pipes beneath the pool, where they are difficult to reach and repair.

Crews repaired accessible portions of the system, but testing in March showed no reduction in water loss. Seattle Parks determined that continued operation was not practical because of the water loss, environmental concerns and high costs. A permanent repair will be completed as part of the Citywide Pool Renovation Project. Seattle Parks has not released a detailed construction schedule but expects Queen Anne Pool to remain closed until fall 2027. The shutdown takes a year-round, sixlane indoor pool out of service. The facility offered lessons, lap and recreational swimming, aquatic exercise, diving

Kraken CEO Warns that Washington State Business Leaders are Eyeing Exits By Bill Lucia

Washington State Standard

Tod Leiweke, CEO of the Kraken NHL team and one of the key figures pushing to return the SuperSonics NBA franchise to Seattle, dished some economic words of warning for state lawmakers on Thursday. Leiweke’s beef isn’t with the new income tax on millionaire earners that’s been in the spotlight. He said he’s on track to pay the tax and isn’t necessarily bothered by that. Troubling him is how majority Democrats in Olympia are managing the state’s finances and what he described as a souring mood among business leaders, who are questioning

if Washington is where they want to be. “In my time, I have not felt as much fear in the business community as I feel today,” Leiweke said. “This isn’t about the millionaire tax. This is about an insatiable appetite of spending beyond your means,” Leiweke added. “I’ve been a lifelong Democrat. I’m telling the Democratic Party: ‘It is time to wake up.’ We can be a blue state that has a fiscal plan. Today, we’re a blue state without a fiscal plan.” The remarks came during a panel discussion at the daylong Economic Future Solutions Summit, hosted by the Association of Washington Business Institute and the Washington

Roundtable in Seattle. Joining Leiweke on the panel were Denise Moriguchi, president and CEO of Uwajimaya, and Kerri Schroeder, a managing director with JPMorgan Chase. Leiweke flagged recent credit rating agency reports that said Washington’s financial outlook is trending negative, and he voiced concerns about Democrats’ decision this year to tap an overfunded pension plan to help shore up other parts of the state budget. “The average taxpayer is not getting their money’s worth,” Leiweke said.

He also said he’s “shocked” by how many businesspeople he knows who are looking to exit the state and pointed to Starbucks’ recent decision to expand in Nashville. “That was a company born here,” he

said. “There’s other companies, right now as we speak, talking about it and probably meeting about relocating out of the state. We’ve got to reverse this trend.”

Savvy Senior:

How Families Can Find Lost Money After a Loved One Dies

HEAT WAVE, FROM 1 boards, a rope swing and sauna. Much of the added summer capacity has shifted to Lowery C. “Pop” Mounger Pool, the seasonal outdoor swimming complex next to the Magnolia Community Center. Seattle Parks says the 1,200 additional lesson spaces more than double Mounger’s previous lesson availability and represent

By Jim Miller Dear Savvy Senior, After my mom passed away, we discovered a few small accounts and an old insurance policy we didn’t know she still had. It made me wonder how often families uncover forgotten or unclaimed money like this after a parent dies. Is it common, and where should I start looking? —Searching Sarah

I

Dear Sarah, t’s actually quite common. After a parent or spouse dies, families often come across small, forgotten accounts, uncashed checks, or old insurance policies that slipped through the cracks over the years. In many cases, paperwork was misplaced, accounts were opened decades ago, or loved ones simply weren’t aware the assets existed. According to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, billions of dollars in unclaimed assets are currently being held by state governments and federal agencies, waiting to be claimed by rightful owners or heirs. Unclaimed property usually comes from financial accounts or benefits that became inactive because the owner moved, changed names or died. In many cases, heirs were never aware the money existed or did not know where to look. These assets can include savings or checking accounts, uncashed dividend checks, utility security deposits, life insurance proceeds, pension benefits, tax refunds, matured savings bonds and unpaid wages. By law, banks, employers, insurance companies and other institutions must turn these assets over to the state if they cannot locate the owner or next of kin after a set period, usually two to five years. Once turned over, the money is held indefinitely, so there is no deadline for families to file a claim. WHERE TO START

A good place to begin is MissingMoney.com, a free site endorsed by the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators and the National Association of State Treasurers. It allows users to search for unclaimed property in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico at once. Hawaii is not included but can be searched through a link on the site. When searching, check every state where your mother lived, worked or did business. Be sure

to search under maiden names, married names and common misspellings. Using just a first initial and last name can also uncover accounts that do not appear under a full name search. Each state’s site will indicate whether property is listed and explain how to file a claim. OTHER PLACES TO CHECK

State treasuries are only part of the picture. Families should also check several other common sources of forgotten money. Pensions and 401(k)s: To search for lost or forgotten retirement benefits your mom may have left behind with an old employer, use the U.S. Department of Labor’s Retirement Savings Lost & Found Database at lostandfound.dol.gov and the National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits at unclaimedretirementbenefits.com. Or to search for unclaimed retirement benefits from privatesector plans that have closed down, use the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation search tool at pbgc.gov/workers-retirees. Savings bonds: It’s very common for people to lose track of U.S. Saving Bonds because they are often given to children as gifts, then forgotten before the bonds reach maturity. To find out if your mom had a Savings Bond or other Treasury security visit your state’s unclaimed property office using unclaimed.org. Search the state of residence at the time of the securities purchase or last known address. Lost life insurance: To track down a lost or forgotten life insurance policy, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, an insurance regulatory support organization, offers a free policy locator service at eapps.naic. org/life-policy-locator. Other refunds: To search for money left at an FDIC insured bank or credit union that has gone out of business, visit closedbanks.fdic. gov/funds. Federal tax refunds can be checked at irs.gov/refunds or by calling 800-829-1954. FHA mortgage refunds can be checked at entp. hud.gov/dsrs/refunds. And unpaid wages are listed at dol.gov/agencies/whd/wow.

Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

During the heat advisory, the National Weather Service recommends drinking plenty of fluids, avoiding the sun during the hottest part of the day and checking on relatives and neighbors. three times the summer capacity previously offered at Queen Anne Pool. Public swim times have also increased. Mounger has two outdoor pools, including a shallow pool for younger swimmers and a larger pool with a water slide. Families with young children have another neighborhood option at the East Queen Anne wading pool, 160 Howe St. It is scheduled to operate from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday, meaning it will not be

open Wednesday, when Seattle could see some of the week’s highest temperatures. Wading pools operate only on sunny days when temperatures are forecast to reach at least 70 degrees. Families should call the Wading Pool Hotline at 206684-7796 or check the Seattle Parks wading-pool Facebook page before visiting. Ballard Pool is also helping absorb demand with additional Summer Swim League capacity. This fall, Ballard, Evans and Medgar Evers pools are expected to add hours and programming. Together, the three facilities will provide more than 650 additional swim lesson spaces each week. Seattle Parks says the combined lesson capacity will exceed what Queen Anne Pool provided in 2025, although residents accustomed to a neighborhood pool will still need to travel farther. Mounger Pool is located at 2535 32nd Ave. W. Swimmers should check the Seattle Parks website for current schedules and availability. During the heat advisory, the National Weather Service recommends drinking plenty of fluids, avoiding the sun during the hottest part of the day and checking on relatives and neighbors. Strenuous activities should be moved to the morning or evening when possible. Children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool, shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency requiring a call to 911. Residents seeking cooling or other human services can call 211 or visit wa211.org.

Expanding Assistance for Seattle City Light and Seattle Public Utilities Customers SPU Media

REACHING CUSTOMERS WHERE THEY ARE SCL and SPU are working with community organizations, service providers, and trusted partners to help spread the word about available utility assistance. We want to make sure customers know what options are available and understand how to apply for assistance. We will continue working with community partners to connect more people with affordability resources and make it easier for customers to get the help they need.

M

any people in our region are facing affordability challenges. At the same time, the cost of providing essential utility services, including electricity, water, sewer, and garbage, continues to rise. Seattle City Light and Seattle Public Utilities offer programs and payment options to help customers manage their utility bills. To help more households access savings, Seattle City Council passed an expansion of income eligibility for the Utility Discount Program. The increase in eligibility reflects the cost of living in our region. This change is expanding discounts to nearly 30% more customers, or more than 31,000 additional households. The expansion will begin at the same time as new utility rates go into effect in January 2027. We recognize Councilmember Dan Strauss for his many years of effort and leadership in support of the Utility Discount Program and utility affordability for Seattle customers. MORE CUSTOMERS WILL QUALIFY FOR UTILITY DISCOUNTS The Utility Discount Program helps income-qualified customers lower their monthly utility bills. Through the program, qualified residential customers receive:

FIND OUT IF YOU QUALIFY Customers can find out if they qualify for a lower utility bill at Seattle.gov/UtilityBillHelp. If you do not qualify today, check back next year. With expanded income eligibility beginning in 2027, more customers will become eligible for utility assistance.

• 60% off future Seattle City Light electricity bills • 50% off future Seattle Public Utilities water, sewer, and garbage bills On average, customers can save $120 to $205 each month through the Utility Discount Program. Customers who receive Seattle Public Utilities services but do

not have an account in their name may still be eligible for these savings. Renters who receive their electricity bill through Seattle City Light may also qualify for additional savings through Seattle Public Utilities credits if they are enrolled in the Utility Discount Program.

PAYMENT PLANS ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL CUSTOMERS Customers who need more time to pay their utility bill can set up a payment plan. Payment plans are available to all customers and provide more time to pay down a balance in smaller, more manageable payments.

ADDITIONAL AFFORDABILITY RESOURCES Customers may also qualify for state or federal energy assistance programs. The City of Seattle also offers an Assistance and Discounts resource to help people find ways to save money on utilities, internet, housing, food, and more. As utility rates change, the City will continue to look for ways to keep essential services accessible.

Understanding the Aging Journey

A series of articles designed to help older adults and their families navigate life’s next chapter. By Renato Alesiani Task Force General Manager Aegis Living Queen Anne Galer

A

CHAPTER 1: “WHAT’S NEXT?”

t some point, every family will be faced with this question. It may come after a fall, a hospitalization, a concerning diagnosis, or simply the realization that a loved one is no longer able to do all the things they once could. Often, these moments arrive unexpectedly, leaving families overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do next. My name is Renato Alesiani. I began working in senior living in 2004 after a career in luxury hotels and cruise ships. Like many people, I had little understanding of the challenges families face as they navigate the later stages of life. What I discovered more than twenty years ago remains true today: despite the fact that aging is a journey every family will eventually experience, very few people are prepared for it. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of older adults and their families, helping them evaluate options and make important life decisions. Time and again, I have seen families forced to make decisions that will profoundly impact their future during moments of crisis—often under tremendous stress, with limited information, and little opportunity to plan ahead. It doesn’t have to be that way. In both my professional and personal life, I encourage people

to educate themselves long before a crisis occurs. Having a roadmap does not mean everything will go according to plan. Life rarely works that way. However, when unexpected challenges arise, informed families are far better equipped to make thoughtful decisions with confidence rather than reacting out of fear, urgency, or uncertainty. The purpose of this series is not to tell you what choices to make. Rather, it is to provide information, perspective, and practical guidance so that you can better understand the aging journey and prepare for the questions that may lie ahead. Because while aging is inevitable, facing it unprepared doesn’t have to be. Why is this conversation so important today? The answer lies in the numbers. Today, nearly 15 million Americans are over the age of 80, including more than 22,000 Seattle residents. As the Baby Boomer generation enters its 80s, the number of older adults requiring support is expected to grow rapidly, affecting virtually every family in our community. King County is on the front edge of a demographic wave unlike anything we have experienced before. Between now and 2040, the number of residents age 85 and older is expected to increase by 175 percent. These are the years when many older adults begin to require assistance with daily living, healthcare coordination, or memory support. While the need for senior housing continues to grow, developing

new assisted living communities is a lengthy and expensive undertaking. From securing land and obtaining permits to financing and construction, it can take years to bring a new community to market, making it difficult for supply to keep pace with demand. Yet the greater challenge may not be buildings—it may be people. Experts project significant shortages in the long-term care workforce in the coming years. Even if enough housing can be built, finding the caregivers, nurses, and support staff needed to care for an aging population may prove to be an even greater challenge. The question facing our community is not whether we will need more support for older adults, but whether we will be prepared when that need arrives. That is why being informed, understanding available options, learning what resources exist, and seeking expert guidance has never been more important. In the coming weeks, I will explore topics such as: • When is it time to seek help? • Aging at home versus senior living. • Understanding Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. • Independent Living, Assisted Living, Transitional Care, Memory Care, Adult Family Homes, Skilled Nursing, and Hospice. • Financial and legal planning. • Caregiver stress and burnout. • Having difficult conversations

with aging parents. • And many other topics that families encounter along the aging journey. My hope is that these articles will serve as a practical resource for older adults and their loved ones, helping them navigate one of life’s

most important transitions with greater confidence, understanding, and peace of mind. Because the question is not whether we will face the challenges of aging. The question is whether we will be prepared when we do. Before families can make informed decisions about aging at home, assisted living, memory care, or any of the other options available, they must first recognize when additional help has become necessary. That may sound obvious, but it is often the most difficult step of all. Many families wait for a crisis, a fall, a hospitalization, or a medical emergency—before acknowledging that more support is needed. Yet in my experience, those events are rarely the beginning of the story. More often, they are the result of weeks, months, or even years of gradual changes that went unnoticed or were dismissed as a normal part of aging. Recognizing those early warning signs can make all the difference. It gives families time to explore options, have thoughtful conversations, and make decisions with clarity instead of urgency. In the next chapter of Understanding the Aging Journey, we’ll examine one of the most important questions every family eventually faces: When is it time to seek help? Understanding the signs before caregiving becomes a crisis may be the single most important step in protecting both the older adult and those who love them.

Seahawks Sale Closes the Paul Allen Era and Opens a New Chapter The Microsoft co-founder rescued the franchise from relocation and built it into a champion. The Khosla family now prepares to inherit one of Seattle’s most valuable civic institutions.

T

he Seattle Seahawks are preparing for their first ownership change in nearly three decades, bringing an end to the era of the man who kept the team in Seattle and transformed it into one of the NFL’s most successful franchises. The Estate of Paul G. Allen announced July 11 that it had reached a formal agreement to sell the Seahawks to an ownership group led by the Khosla family. The terms were not officially disclosed, and the transaction must still be approved by NFL owners. The reported sale price is $9.612 billion, which would set a record for an NFL franchise. The timing gives the sale an unusual sense of arrival rather than decline. The Seahawks are changing hands only months after defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX, earning the second championship in franchise history. The new owners are not purchasing a struggling club in need of rescue. They are taking responsibility for a defending champion, a valuable stadium operation and a team woven deeply into the identity of the Pacific Northwest. THE MAN WHO KEPT THE SEAHAWKS IN SEATTLE Paul Allen was already one of the world’s best-known technology entrepreneurs when he entered Seattle sports. Born in Seattle in 1953, Allen attended Lakeside School and developed an early interest in computers. He later co-founded Microsoft with childhood friend Bill Gates, helping launch a company that changed personal computing and created enormous personal wealth for both men. Allen used that wealth across an unusually broad range of interests. He invested in science, artificial intelligence, medicine, spaceflight, ocean exploration, conservation, music and the arts. His projects included the Allen Institute, the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture. He contributed more than $2.6 billion to philanthropic causes during his lifetime. His decision to purchase the Seahawks, however, may remain his most visible contribution to his hometown. In the mid-1990s, then-owner Ken Behring attempted to move the team to Southern California. Allen stepped in and completed his purchase of the franchise in 1997, keeping professional football in Seattle. He paid approximately $194 million for the team-a figure that looks almost quaint beside the reported price of the pending sale. But Allen did more than prevent a relocation. He helped establish the foundation for everything the modern Seahawks became. BUILDING A FRANCHISE, NOT JUST BUYING ONE Allen backed the construction of the downtown stadium now known as Lumen Field. Washington voters approved the stadium plan in 1997, and Allen led at least $130 million in private investment while agreeing to cover construction cost overruns. The publicly owned stadium opened in 2002 and

became one of the NFL’s loudest and most recognizable venues. He also invested in the Seahawks’ football infrastructure. The team moved into the privately funded Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton in 2008. The 200,000-square-foot waterfront headquarters includes indoor and outdoor practice fields, training facilities, meeting rooms, offices and space for fans to attend training camp. More important than the buildings were the people Allen empowered to work inside them. He hired Mike Holmgren, who led the Seahawks to their first Super Bowl appearance following the 2005 season. In 2010, Allen brought together head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider, creating the leadership partnership behind the most celebrated period in franchise history. During Allen’s ownership from 1997 until his death in 2018, the Seahawks reached the playoffs 13 times, won nine division championships and appeared in three Super Bowls. Their victory over Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII delivered Seattle its first Lombardi Trophy. Allen was inducted into the Seahawks Ring of Honor in 2019. Fittingly, he became its 12th member. JODY ALLEN CARRIES THE FRANCHISE FORWARD After Paul Allen died from complications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in

October 2018, his sister, Jody Allen, became chair of the Seahawks and trustee of his estate. Her tenure included difficult decisions, including the end of Carroll’s run as head coach and the selection of Mike Macdonald as his successor. Under Jody Allen, Schneider and Macdonald, the Seahawks returned to the top of the league and won Super Bowl LX in February. Paul Allen had directed that his sports holdings eventually be sold and that estate proceeds be used for philanthropy. The Seahawks sale is therefore not an abandonment of his legacy, but part of the plan he established before his death. WHO ARE THE NEW OWNERS? The purchasing group is led by the Khosla family. Neeru Khosla is expected to serve as the controlling owner, according to an NFL memorandum reported by The News Tribune. Her husband, Vinod Khosla, and their son Neal Khosla are also members of the ownership group. Additional limited partners have not yet been publicly identified. Vinod Khosla co-founded Sun Microsystems in 1982 and later established Khosla Ventures, a Silicon Valley investment firm focused on technologydriven companies. His career has involved major investments in computing, artificial intelligence, energy, medicine and other emerging industries.

Neeru Khosla is co-founder and executive director of the nonprofit CK-12 Foundation, which provides free digital educational materials and learning resources. Neal Khosla is the founder and chief executive of Curai Health, an artificialintelligence-supported virtual health care company. He is expected to have a significant leadership role in the ownership group. The Khosla family must also divest its minority interest in the San Francisco 49ers before completing the Seahawks purchase, as NFL rules prohibit ownership stakes in competing teams. For now, the Khoslas have offered few details about possible changes. Vinod Khosla said the family was honored to become the franchise’s next steward and intended to build on the winning legacy Allen created. The sale remains subject to league review and approval. That word-“steward”-will matter in Seattle. Paul Allen treated the Seahawks as both a football team and a regional institution. He left the new owners a championship organization, a loyal fan base, a landmark stadium and a standard against which they will immediately be measured. The Khosla family can afford the Seahawks. The more difficult task will be proving that it understands what came with them.

The Coliseum: Seattle’s Forgotten Movie Palace Gets a Second Act By Laura Marie Rivera

T

his summer, as World Cup energy pulsed through Seattle, a local philanthropist created an opportunity in a dark, dormant building at Fifth and Pike: a chance to welcome the world into a space the city had mostly forgotten. Thousands of people walk past that corner every day without looking up. If they did, they’d see white terra cotta dressed in Renaissance ornament, wrapped around what most of the city has dismissed as a former clothing store. They’ve actually been walking past the Coliseum Theater, opened January 8, 1916, with 2,400 seats and a claim no other building on earth could make: it was the first grand palace ever built specifically for the movies. Built for film, from the ground up — five years before Chicago got its own movie palace — and designed by Seattle architect B. Marcus Priteca. Inside, it was decorated with Egyptian lotus mosaics, Byzantine

Andrew Conru and curator Marty Griswold welcome visitors to the newly activated Coliseum of Art, with the theater’s rescued red marquee letters behind them.

color, Italian Renaissance detail, mezzanine lights like a starry night, and a Bacchus mask over the proscenium arch. For decades, this was where Seattle went to be amazed in the dark. The Coliseum showed its last film in March 1990. Rather than gut the building, developers converted the lower auditorium to retail — famously a Banana Republic — and sealed off the upper balcony and the ornamental ceiling above. For more than thirty years, the painted ceiling, the proscenium arch, and Bacchus himself sat in darkness while shoppers tried on jackets below. The red COLISEUM letters from the old marquee were sealed away in the basement. Enter Andrew Conru, the Queen Anne resident whose Conru Art Foundation has spent the past several years building free public art spaces across downtown Seattle, and Marty Griswold, the Montlake curator tapped to bring the Coliseum back to life. Griswold is no stranger to the city’s arts scene: he cut his teeth at The Rocket, spent a decade at The Stranger, and eventually launched PublicDisplay.ART, a print showcase for local artists that would introduce him to Conru when the foundation rescued the magazine from closure. “Turned out, I was in the right place at the right time, as Andrew was committed to developing programming to support the local creative economy, and I had the connections and know-how to help out,” Griswold says. “Today, I wear multiple hats, serving as both the Publisher of PublicDisplay.ART and the Director of ArtLove Salon,” he adds, “And if that wasn’t enough, I was charged with opening and curating the Coliseum of Art.” Working on an extraordinarily tight timeline, Griswold mobilized his vast network of artists and turned the long-dormant historic space into a spectacular, living gallery. The project follows what Conru calls his guiding principles: Beauty, Truth, and Love. “There is a special joy in putting your money where your heart is,” Conru says. “I have grown to love this city, with all of its quirks, unique histories, and people. If I can make

A farm kid from northern Indiana, started with great fanfare as he built the world’s first online dating site in 1994 and sold the company in 2007. But after burnout nearly finished him, he rebuilt himself, by painting 365 canvases in 365 days. Since the foundation’s inception in 2022, it has been working to center the 99% of gallery visitors who never purchase art: they are not incidental to the mission, but the public the gallery is meant to serve. The Coliseum is the foundation’s most ambitious test of that idea yet — a wager that a grand cultural space can belong not only to collectors, patrons, or invited guests, but to anyone who walks through the door. “When I first stood under that ceiling, my honest reaction was that somebody spent real money to make strangers feel like royalty for two hours,” Conru says. “We used to build rooms like that for everybody. I want to find out if we still can.” The palace that spent decades hidden above the racks

is being taken seriously again by someone with the patience and the means to ask what — and whom — it might still be for. Philanthropy pays the rent so that beauty can do its actual job, which is reminding people they are alive and that they share more than they argue about. To that end, Conru wants to measure by “people coming through, people feeling better, artists being treated fairly, and whether the city feels more alive because the space exists.” And over the next few months, he wants to hear from the people of Seattle to know if it’s working or if he needs to do something else. This activation could be the second act story for both the building and the philanthropist. The resurrected marquee letters now hold pride of place above the galleries — a beautiful fragment of the building’s past watching over its possible future. Downtown Seattle has seen no shortage of doors close. To watch someone carefully, publicly, and perhaps a little audaciously breathe new life into an old gem is a much rarer kind of civic spectacle.

f you try to get Verdine White to wax nostalgic or talk about the legacy of Earth, Wind & Fire, you won’t get far. “We don’t do it like that,” White said. “We just keep it moving. We’re very appreciative of the past, but we’re not looking back.”

Four decades and 90 million albumsplus sold later, EW&F is still going strong That said, Earth, Wind & Fire can’t help but fill its shows with the songs that got the group in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, earned a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award and praise from the likes of the late Miles Davis, Quincy Jones and Alicia Keys and influenced generations of artists, from Beyonce and Justin Timberlake to Lion Babe’s Jillian Hervey. Earth, Wind & Fire was founded by White’s older brother Maurice in 1970. By the mid ‘70s, Earth, Wind & Fire was one of the most popular bands in the world, riding a string of hits that ran from 1975’s No. 1 smash “Shining Star”

through “Sing a Song,” “Got to Get You into My Life,” “Boogie Wonderland” and “Let’s Groove.” Four decades and 90 million albums-plus sold later, EW&F is still going strong, playing music JABARI JACOBS

that still feels fresh and contemporary in widely praised shows around the globe. “We have to thank my brother Maurice for that,” White said. “He was the originator, the creator

of the band. He put something together that ended up being timeless. The music’s been everywhere. It’s part of the soundtrack of our lives, of multiple generations lives. We see it every night.” That music, a mix of pop, funk, soul, R&B and rock with shades of jazz, Latin and Afro-pop, created a revolution in black pop in the ‘70s and continues to reverberate through pop music today. “It’s a fusion of styles,” White said. “In the beginning, we actually did more jazz, then put in R&B, then pop, then rock. That came from Maurice. He was definitely the leader, putting it all together made it really sound universal and unique at the same time.” While White wouldn’t commit to any specifics, he said it’s likely that Earth Wind & Fire will have a new album out sooner rather than later. It would be its first since 2014’s “Holiday” and its first since Maurice White’s 2016 death. So far, though, the only newer music is a single, “You Want My Love.” Produced by Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, it features guest vocals from Lucky Daye. Maurice had suffered from Parkinson’s Disease for several years before his passing and stopped touring with the band. But Verdine said he continued to have input into the music.

Now the remaining members of EW&F don’t have their founder to help create music, but White said Maurice has given the tools they need to carry on the group’s legacy. “He trained us very well, so we’re very confident,” White said. “He was a great teacher. A great teacher, big brother. He was as cool as they come.” On tour the three original EW&F members -- Verdine, who plays bass, drummer Ralph Johnson and singer Philip Bailey, he of the sky-piercing voice -- are joined in the live shows by a three-man horn section, a bunch of percussionists/vocalists, a keyboard player, a pair of guitarists. And they deliver a tightly rehearsed, choreographed, musically impressive show, whether it’s to a few thousand in a small amphitheater or concert hall or tens of thousands at festivals. So, in the spirit of keeping moving Verdine, what can those who come to see Earth, Wind & Fire expect? “Tell ‘em they’re going to feel better after than they did coming in and they might not be able to sleep that night,” he said. “We have to have an exciting show. The audience has to enjoy themselves. They will. It will be fun.”

Leasing Sell Now or Wait Until Fall? Rebounds, Queen Anne and Magnolia Sellers Face a Strategic Summer Market but CBD F Vacancy Remains Near 38%

S

eattle’s office market is showing its clearest signs of renewed activity since the pandemic, but the recovery has only begun. More than one-third of the office space in the city’s central business district remains vacant. The surplus largely traces back to the pandemic, when remote and hybrid work changed how much office space employers needed. Companies reduced their footprints, put unused offices on the sublease market or allowed leases to expire. At the same time, buildings planned before the slowdown continued adding space to the market. Now, demand is beginning to return. Companies leased approximately 1 million square feet in downtown Seattle during the second quarter of 2026, according to CBRE. Downtown accounted for 46% of all Puget Sound leasing activity, more than any other submarket. Several substantial leases helped drive the increase. DocuSign signed for approximately 116,000 square feet at the JPMorgan Chase Center. Stripe leased nearly 45,000 square feet at Madison Centre, while law firm Arnold & Porter took about 39,000 square feet at One Union Square. Technology and artificial intelligence companies also remain an important source of demand. Anthropic leased more than 100,000 square feet at Dexter Yard, outside the traditional CBD. Across the region, AI companies accounted for approximately 403,000 square feet of secondquarter leasing. The activity produced an important milestone. CBRE reported approximately 83,000 square feet of positive net absorption in the Seattle CBD, meaning tenants occupied more space than they vacated. It was the district’s first positive quarter since early 2020. That progress has not yet erased the accumulated surplus. Cushman & Wakefield placed secondquarter vacancy at 37.7% in the Seattle CBD and 35.8% across the broader downtown market. Kidder Mathews calculated CBD vacancy at 34.9%. The firms track somewhat different sets of buildings, but all found roughly one-third or more of the CBD market vacant. Leasing and vacancy can also move in opposite directions temporarily. A lease is counted when it is signed, but tenants may not

or Queen Anne and Magnolia homeowners thinking about selling, the question may not be whether they missed the spring market. It may be whether their home is ready. As summer moves into its second half, sellers who did not list in spring may be weighing whether to move forward now or wait for the fall market. In Seattle’s broader housing market, buyers have more choices than they did a year ago. Northwest Multiple Listing Service reported that active listings across its service area were up 16.4% year over year at the end of June, with more than 23,000 properties on the market. That added inventory has given buyers more room to compare homes, negotiate and take their time. But Queen Anne and Magnolia remain two of Seattle’s most competitive neighborhood markets, especially for wellpresented homes in desirable locations. Redfin data for the three months ending in May showed Queen Anne homes selling at a median price of about $1.04 million, up 1% from the same period last year. Homes there averaged 20 days on the market, compared with eight days a year earlier. Magnolia homes sold at a median price of about $1.33 million, up 3.8% year over year, with homes averaging seven days on the market.

Junior Torres, J.D., with Windermere Real Estate in Seattle-Magnolia, said sellers should not assume they have “missed the market” simply because the spring rush has passed.

“July remains a very good time to list in both Queen Anne and Magnolia, particularly for wellprepared homes,” Torres said. According to Torres, the decision should depend less on the

calendar and more on whether the home is truly ready to compete. While the pace of the market has moderated since early spring, serious buyers are still active, especially in neighborhoods where limited inventory and strong location continue to support demand. July and September can both be strong selling periods, but they tend to bring different buyer behavior. July may have lighter open house traffic because of vacations and summer schedules, but buyers who remain in the market are often motivated. Some may be hoping to move before the school year begins or before the weather changes. September often brings renewed activity as people return from summer travel, but it can also bring more competition from sellers who waited. “In many cases, a July listing can face less competition than a September listing, when many homeowners who delayed during the summer return to the market,” Torres said. The homes drawing the strongest attention are those that are updated, carefully presented and priced appropriately. Torres said buyers are responding to homes with architectural character, quality renovations, outdoor space, views and flexible floor plans that support work-from-home needs.

Learn How To Save $6,000 On a Heat Pump that Provides Cooling and More Ways to Prepare for Summer Heat Seattle Public Utilities

S

ummer is here! Now is a great time to prepare your home for the weather ahead. As climate change continues to warm our region, Seattle is experiencing more frequent and intense hot weather. At the City, we’re reducing the emissions that cause climate change while helping community members prepare their homes for the hotter summers that are already here. Heat pumps are one of the ways we’re helping to build more resilient communities that can withstand and adapt to the weather now and for decades to come. If you currently have oil heat, the City offers multiple ways to make the switch to a heat pump. These systems provide efficient heating and cooling throughout every season. Through our Clean Heat program, Seattle households of any income can get $2,000 in rebates toward a qualified heat pump, and income-eligible households can receive an additional $4,000 for a total of $6,000 in savings. Households with lower incomes may qualify for a free heat pump through Seattle’s Office of Housing.

A MORE COMFORTABLE AND AFFORDABLE FUTURE

Heat pumps provide efficient heating in the winter and cooling during the summer, helping households stay safer, healthier, and more comfortable. Heat pumps work by capturing heat from outside air and moving it inside to heat the house in the winter. In the summer, it cools the house by moving heat from inside to outside. Investing in a heat pump has long-term advantages. Heat pumps are three to four times more efficient than oil furnaces and can reduce heating costs by more than 70%.* With oil prices remaining high, many households can lower their winter energy bills.

A SUSTAINABLE AND CLIMATE-FRIENDLY OPTION

Switching from oil heat can help protect your property and the environment. Heating oil is often stored in underground tanks that can corrode over time (links to PDF) and leak into yards and nearby waterways, creating costly cleanups. Oil tanks have heightened contamination risks as climate change brings more frequent heavy rainfall and flooding. Heat pumps are powered by carbon-neutral electricity provided by Seattle City Light,

which helps reduce climate pollution and improve local air quality. Meeting Seattle’s climate goals will take action from everyone. Heat pump incentives and free conversion programs such as Clean Heat help make these important upgrades more accessible to community members. They also advance the goals of Seattle’s Climate Action Plan, which emphasizes that solutions must happen at all levels and come from individuals, communities, businesses and government. Seattle is also partnering with communities to build climate resilience through resources such as the new Climate Ready Curriculum. The free program helps neighbors learn about and prepare for extreme heat, flooding, wildfire smoke and other climate hazards.

READY TO MAKE THE SWITCH?

Contact one of our participating contractors today to get a free estimate and choose the qualified heat pump that’s right for your home. The City of Seattle recently received $1.6 million from the Washington State Department of Commerce to help households transition off fossil fuels.

Seattle Social Housing Gets New Tools After First Building Shows Huge Demand Charter changes give the voter-created housing developer more flexibility to finance, buy and build permanently affordable housing across the city. Staff Report

S

eattle’s new social housing agency is getting more power to finance future buildings, just weeks after its first apartment lottery showed how overwhelming demand is for below-market housing in the city. The Seattle City Council approved charter changes for the Seattle Social Housing Developer on June 16, allowing the public development authority to use its properties as collateral for debt, create condominium structures for commercial portions of mixed-use buildings, use revenue from one building to support another and clarify tenant protections before eviction. The changes mark an important second step for the agency, which recently made its public debut with Elara at the Market, a 150-unit apartment building near Pike Place Market. More than 10,000 applicants sought about 15 initial rent-reduced apartments at Elara, underscoring the gap between Seattle’s affordable-housing demand and the limited number of units immediately available. Elara is the first building owned by the Seattle Social Housing Developer, known as SSHD. The agency says it paid about $60 million for the building and plans to fill the first 15 vacancies with households earning 30 percent or less of area median income. The next 45 units are expected to serve households earning between 30 and 50 percent of area median income. Rents at Elara are expected to range from $665 for a studio to $1,482 for a two-bedroom apartment, according to the agency. SSHD also plans to freeze existing rents through June 2028, eliminate certain added fees, end Ratio Utility Billing System charges and offer free one-year ORCA passes to residents.

FROM FIRST PURCHASE TO EXPANSION

Seattle voters created the Social Housing Developer through Initiative 135 in 2023. Voters later approved Proposition 1A in 2025, creating a 5 percent tax on compensation above $1 million paid in Seattle to individual employees. The tax is paid by employers, not workers, and is intended to provide ongoing revenue for publicly owned, permanently affordable mixedincome housing.

SELL OR WAIT, FROM 7 In Queen Anne, historic homes with modern updates remain especially desirable. In Magnolia, buyers continue to place a premium on view properties, proximity to Discovery Park and quiet residential settings. Turnkey homes are also outperforming those that need significant updating. With more choices available, buyers are comparing listings more carefully and paying close attention to condition, deferred maintenance and price. That makes pricing especially important. Torres said the strongest buyer attention often comes during a property’s first two weeks on the market. An overpriced home can sit, require reductions and create the impression that something is wrong. A realistically priced home, by contrast, can generate stronger early interest and better showing activity. For sellers considering a September launch, preparation should begin now. Repairs,

The City Council approved legislation in February to begin transferring that voter-approved revenue to SSHD. Council materials said Proposition 1A passed with more than 63 percent support and created the funding source needed for the agency to begin acquiring and developing housing. The new charter changes are meant to help SSHD stretch that funding further. Rather than relying only on annual tax revenue, the agency can now use property it owns to secure financing for additional acquisitions or construction. Councilmember Dionne Foster, who sponsored the charter legislation, said the amendments are intended to give the developer “the right tools” to deliver affordable housing and allow future projects to include amenities such as ground-floor restaurants, childcare or other commercial uses without sacrificing affordability. One change allows SSHD to create a condominium structure in which the agency keeps the housing portion of a building while selling the commercial portion. Another allows cross-subsidization within the agency’s portfolio, meaning revenue from some buildings could help support costs or bond payments connected to others. That flexibility matters because social housing is designed to mix income levels rather than serve only one income band. Higher-rent units can help support lower-rent units, while public ownership is intended to keep the building permanently affordable instead of allowing it to return to the speculative market.

GOAL: HOUSING IN EVERY DISTRICT

SSHD leaders have said they do not want social housing concentrated in a single neighborhood. Mike Eliason, the agency’s director of design and policy, told the Seattle Planning Board that SSHD is looking at projects across the city and wants to be represented in every City Council district. Reporting from The Center Square and KING 5 cited a five-year goal of 1,670 units, including about 1,040 acquired units and 630 newly built units. The Urbanist previously reported the same five-year production target and said SSHD’s early strategy is likely to emphasize purchasing newer apartment buildings

painting, landscaping, decluttering, staging and photography can take time, especially when multiple vendors are involved. Meeting with a broker early can also help sellers decide whether to list in late summer or wait for fall. Waiting may make sense if a home needs meaningful improvements before it is ready. But waiting only for the sake of timing may not guarantee a better result. “My advice would be not to focus solely on the month, but rather on your home’s readiness and your personal goals,” Torres said. For sellers with a polished home and a clear pricing strategy, July may still offer an opportunity to reach motivated buyers before fall inventory arrives. For those who need more time, a stronger September presentation may be worth the wait. Either way, Torres said the best outcomes usually come from preparation, presentation and accurate pricing, not from trying to perfectly time the market.

SEATTLE HOUSING DEVELOPER

while market conditions make some acquisitions cheaper than new construction. SSHD staff estimated that recently built apartments could be purchased for roughly $350,000 to $400,000 per unit, compared with about $650,000 per unit to build new. That approach helps explain the Elara purchase. Buying an occupied building can move faster than waiting years for a new project to be permitted and built. It can also preserve apartments in central neighborhoods where lower-income renters are often priced out. But the first lottery also showed the limits of acquisition. Elara contains 150 units, but current tenants are not being forced out, so only vacant apartments can be filled immediately by lower-income applicants. That means the agency’s first major public offering amounted to roughly 15 openings, not 150.

THE CENTRAL DEBATE

Supporters argue the model is doing what it was designed to do: move housing into permanent public ownership, stabilize tenants and create mixed-income buildings that remain affordable over time. Critics argue the first purchase helps too few applicants right away and does not add new housing to Seattle’s overall supply. That criticism is likely to continue as

HEAT PUMP, FROM 7 This funding will help extend our $4,000 bonus rebate for households with moderate incomes, which can be combined with our existing $2,000 Clean Heat rebate for households of any income. The funding will also help provide free heat pumps and heat-pump water heaters to households that meet income requirements and are switching from natural gas through the Seattle Office of Housing program. The City’s Assistance and Discount page can help residents explore assistance and discount programs based on income and household size. Clean Heat bonus rebates and free naturalgas-to-heat-pump conversions are also supported by Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. The act puts cap-and-invest funding to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs and improving public health. For more immediate relief from hot weather, Seattle City Light offers additional guidance for staying cool during a heat wave. Savings calculations are based on a flat electricity rate of 13.38 cents per kilowatthour, a heat pump HSPF2 efficiency rating of 9.2, an oil price of $7 per gallon and an oil furnace efficiency of 80%. Individual savings will vary depending on energy use, energy prices and system efficiency.

SSHD balances faster acquisitions against the slower but more supply-focused work of building new apartments. The debate is not simply whether Elara is a good building. It is whether social housing can scale fast enough to matter in a city where 10,000 people applied for 15 openings. The new charter powers are intended to answer part of that question. By allowing SSHD to borrow against assets, use commercial portions of buildings more flexibly and support projects across a portfolio, the city is giving the agency tools more commonly used in real estate development. Those tools also bring new questions. Borrowing can help the agency move faster, but it also requires careful underwriting, stable revenue and strong oversight. Selling commercial condominium space could generate money for housing, but it will require clear rules to ensure the public housing mission remains the priority. For now, Seattle’s social housing experiment is moving from campaign promise to real estate operation. Elara proved the demand. The charter changes are meant to give the agency room to grow. The next test is whether SSHD can turn one highly sought-after building into a citywide portfolio large enough to change more than a few dozen lives at a time.

OFFICE, FROM 7 occupy the space for months. Meanwhile, other companies continue to move out or allow older leases to expire. Across the broader downtown market, approximately 281,000 more square feet was vacated than occupied during the quarter, Cushman & Wakefield reported. Amazon left 81,000 square feet at 428 Westlake, while F5 vacated 77,000 square feet in its namesake tower. Still, one part of the pandemic-era surplus is shrinking. Downtown sublease vacancy fell nearly 19% over the past year, suggesting companies are gradually resolving some of the excess space they previously offered to other tenants. Most current demand is concentrated in newer, high-quality buildings. Class A properties accounted for approximately 1.76 million of the 2.25 million square feet leased regionwide during the quarter,

CBRE reported. Leasing of Class B space declined. That creates an uneven recovery. Modern buildings with desirable locations and amenities may attract tenants, while older properties facing costly upgrades continue to struggle. Little new office space is being built, which should help prevent the surplus from growing. No downtown office buildings are scheduled for completion this year, and major proposed developments are unlikely to proceed while vacancy remains elevated. The second quarter therefore offers evidence of stabilization, but not yet a full recovery. Leasing has accelerated, sublease availability is shrinking and the CBD recorded its first positive absorption in more than six years. The next test is whether those gains continue long enough to put more workers behind the windows of downtown Seattle’s office towers.
