Seattle Gathered in Silence.
Staff Report
There were no speeches. No podium. No program.
Just a large crowd who came because sometimes the only thing left to do is show up for one another.
At the International Fountain, handmade cards fluttered from the memorial trellises, while bouquets, candles, and other tributes surrounded the fountain and the memorial walls. Across the fountain, personalized memorial displays featuring blue hearts inscribed with the victims’ names were filled with handwritten notes and messages of love.
The evening itself felt gentle, quiet music drifted through the crowd. Service dogs rested beside their handlers. Volunteers offered supplies for anyone who wanted to write a note, leave a flower, or simply stand in shared grief.
Families cried. Friends embraced. News cameras documented the moment from a respectful distance, while firefighters, first responders, Seattle Center staff, community organizers, county employees, elected officials, and countless
volunteers stood together in support.
It was a silent vigil, but it spoke volumes.
Just days earlier, what should have been a joyful summer evening at the Bite of Seattle festival ended in tragedy. Three people were killed and four others, including a 2-year-old, were injured when gunfire erupted near the Seattle Center Armory during one of the city’s large annual celebrations. The investigation remains ongoing.
Standing at the fountain on Wednesday evening, it was impossible not to think about the contrast: a place known for festivals, concerts, laughter, and wandering had become a place of mourning.
State Representative Liz Berry, whose district includes Seattle Center, captured that feeling in a recent Instagram post, writing that “Seattle Center is the heart of my community” and reaffirming her commitment to advancing solutions to prevent gun violence because, as she wrote, “gun violence is preventable.”
The vigil wasn’t about politics. It wasn’t about headlines. It was about remembering the people whose lives were taken,
The silent vigil brought together a cross-section of Seattle—families, friends, first responders, crisis responders, volunteers, Seattle Center staff, elected officials, reporters, and neighbors—united not by words, but by their presence.
standing beside the families whose lives have been forever changed, and quietly reminding one another that grief, too, is something we carry together. May we continue to care for those most affected, support the first responders and community members who continue
to bear the weight of this tragedy, and work toward a future where Seattle Center is known only for the joy, creativity, and connection it has always represented.

Barnes’ Exit Raises Bigger Questions Than One Bad Weekend
Staff Report
Seattle’s former chief leaves City Hall with nearly $600,000, an interim chief and a city wrestling with the question that followed deadly shooting at Seattle Center: who was in charge?
Shon Barnes resigned Thursday after criticism over the city’s response to the July 26 shooting outside the Seattle Center Armory during the final evening of the Bite of Seattle. The shooting killed three people, and wounded four others, including a 2-year-old boy. Police initially detained a 15-year-old boy, but charging documents later said the gun he fired was not involved in the deaths of two bystanders.
Police and city officials said officers assigned to the festival responded within seconds, recovered firearms, detained the teenager and provided aid until firefighters arrived. Investigators later said at least three people may have exchanged gunfire in what officials described as a possible gang-related confrontation, not an indiscriminate attack on festivalgoers.
The emergency response was fast. The public communication was not.
After an initial police social media post, nearly five hours passed before the city provided a fuller update about what happened, who was injured and whether suspects remained at large. The city did not send a public emergency alert. Wilson later said she had not understood how little information had reached the public and would have pushed for an immediate briefing had she known. By the time officials briefed reporters, questions were building around the shooting, the delay and Barnes’ absence. Barnes was in Dallas attending a National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives conference. Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis served as acting chief and handled the first formal briefing late Sunday night.
Asked about being out of town, Barnes said, “I wish I had a crystal ball and we could schedule gun violence but we can’t.”
After Tuesday’s press conference, South Seattle Emerald reporter Connor Nash asked Barnes when he had planned to return to Seattle.
“I’m gonna answer this question because you asked me that,” Barnes said. “Let me tell you something. I don’t have to tell you where I go.”
Barnes later said he respected reporters and understood their role. But by then, the moment had already traveled beyond the sidewalk outside a press conference.
The question was not simply whether Barnes could work by phone, attend conferences or delegate authority. Police chiefs can travel and assign an acting chief. But the shooting happened at Seattle Center, during one of the city’s largest summer festivals, in a season packed with public events. Barnes had planned to be out of town until mid-August. Other reporting raised questions about repeated travel outside the region, including trips to Chicago, where his family lives.
Those details leave room for nuance, but residents were not just asking whether the chief was reachable. They were asking whether the chief was present.
Wilson defended asking Barnes to resign at a Friday news conference, calling it the right decision at the right time while declining to lay out every factor. She said “multiple factors” played into the decision and that “the events of Sunday certainly played into it.” She criticized the lack of public information after the shooting, including whether suspects remained at large and the status of Seattle Center, saying that information “should have been shared earlier.”
Wilson said she wants the next chief to be “consistently present in Seattle,” keep travel limited, ensure enough SPD leadership is in town during absences and handle criticism.
Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes pictured on his first day with the Seattle Police Department on Jan. 30, 2025. Barnes, met with colleagues, spoke with media and outlined early priorities.
She said the next chief must be able to “course correct with grace when needed.”
The mayor’s official announcement was softer. Wilson thanked Barnes for his service, praised officers who responded to the shooting and said the city needed to refocus on youth gun violence and public safety.
Wilson appointed Deputy Chief Andre Sayles as interim chief. Sayles joined SPD in 2025 after serving as police chief in Beloit,
Wisconsin. He said SPD would increase staffing at public festivals for the rest of the summer, and investigators were close to identifying additional suspects.
The transition will come with a cost. Axios reported Barnes will receive about $560,000, equal to 18 months of salary, plus about $30,300 for a year of COBRA health coverage. He will not have to repay a $50,000 hiring bonus or $60,000 relocation benefit. The agreement requires Barnes to waive potential legal claims.
Barnes’ supporters argue the criticism became unfair and politically expedient. Several Black community organizations, including the Seattle NAACP and Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle, urged Wilson not to remove him. Supporters said Barnes “should not be made a scapegoat for the complex challenges of public safety.” They credited him with improving police-community relations, reducing gun violence and strengthening operations. That concern deserves to be taken seriously. Barnes was Seattle’s second Black police chief. In a city with a painful history around race, policing and accountability, his departure carries weight beyond one personnel decision. For some community leaders, the speed of his removal looked less like accountability and more like a familiar pattern: a Black leader asked to absorb blame for systemic problems built before he arrived. That does not make the travel questions irrelevant. It does not make his exchange with Nash appropriate. It does not answer whether Seattle’s public-safety communications failed residents. But it does complicate the story. City Council reaction reflected that tension. Rob Saka noted representation matters. Maritza Rivera called the reported firing “impulsive and reckless.”
LAURA MARIE RIVERA
Savvy Senior: With Social Security Uncertainty, Should You Claim Benefits Early?
By Jim Miller
Dear Savvy Senior,
I turn 62 early next year and plan to retire soon after. Most advice says I should wait to claim Social Security because my monthly benefit will be higher. But with all the recent news about Social Security’s financial problems, I’m wondering if taking benefits early might be the safer choice. Is there ever a good reason to claim at 62?
—Ready to Retire
Dear Ready,
You’re definitely not alone in asking this.
The latest Social Security Trustees Report projects the retirement trust fund could be depleted around 2032 if Congress doesn’t act. If that happens, Social Security would still collect payroll taxes and pay benefits, but retirees could face an acrossthe-board cut of about 22 percent.
Before you rush to file, keep things in perspective. Most experts still expect Congress to step in, as it has before, to strengthen Social Security. And even if lawmakers don’t act, waiting would still produce a higher monthly benefit because any across-the-board benefit cut would apply to everyone. While claiming at 62 means collecting benefits sooner, it also permanently locks in a smaller check.
That said, there are several situations where claiming Social Security at 62 can make good financial sense.
HOW CLAIMING AGE AFFECT YOUR BENEFITS
You can start Social Security at 62, but doing so permanently reduces your monthly benefit by about 30 percent compared with waiting until full retirement age (67 for those born in 1960 or later). Delaying until 70 increases your benefit by about 24 percent.
For example, a $2,000 monthly benefit at full retirement age would drop to about $1,400 at 62, or rise to roughly $2,480 if you wait until 70.
WHEN CLAIMING EARLY MAKES SENSE
For some retirees, claiming at 62 is a practical move. If you’ve stopped working and need income for basic expenses, Social Security can provide a steady check right away. It can also serve as a bridge if you retire early or lose a job
in your early 60s while delaying withdrawals from retirement accounts or a pension.
Some retirees also claim Social Security early to reduce withdrawals from their IRA or 401(k) during market downturns. The tradeoff is a permanently reduced lifetime benefit.
For married couples, timing can be coordinated as part of a broader strategy. One spouse may claim early to bring in income while the other delays to boost their future or survivor benefit.
Health is another big factor. Delaying only pays off if you live long enough to collect those higher monthly checks. The break-even point between claiming at 62 and full retirement age is around age 78 or 79.
If you’re still working, be careful here too. Before full retirement age, earnings above Social Security’s annual limit can temporarily reduce your benefit, and claiming early locks in that lower amount for life.
WHY DELAYING HELPS
For many retirees, waiting means a larger guaranteed monthly benefit for life and often a higher lifetime payout if you live into your late 70s or beyond. It can also provide stronger protection against outliving savings.
For couples, delaying the higher earner’s benefit can increase the survivor benefit, which may help provide more financial security for a surviving spouse.
Before deciding, it’s smart to review your numbers. You can create a free account at SSA.gov/myaccount to check your earnings record and estimate benefits at different ages. Tools like OpenSocialSecurity.com or MaximizeMySocialSecurity.com (a paid tool with a $49 fee) can also help you compare claiming strategies.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. For most people, waiting still makes the most sense. But if you need income, have health concerns or are coordinating benefits with a spouse, claiming at 62 may be the better choice. The key is to base your decision on your own circumstances – not fear about Social Security’s future.
BARNES, FROM 1
Alexis Mercedes Rinck said Barnes’ press interactions were concerning, but also criticized the mayor’s communication.
For District 7, which includes Seattle Center, Councilmember Bob Kettle’s response carries particular weight. Kettle represents the neighborhoods around the shooting scene and chairs the City Council’s Public Safety Committee.
After the shooting, Kettle called the violence a “profound tragedy” and said his thoughts were with the victims and their families. He urged the Wilson administration to partner with the council on a comprehensive public-safety approach, saying only a shared effort would make Seattle safer.
After Barnes’ resignation, Kettle joined Council President Joy Hollingsworth and Councilmembers Dan Strauss and Debora Juarez in warning that a major leadership change while communities are grieving puts Seattle in a precarious position. They noted the city has had four chiefs in less than three years and argued the priority must be stability, not disruption.
For Kettle’s constituents, that concern is not abstract. Seattle Center is a neighborhood hub, tourism engine, family destination and one of the city’s most visible civic spaces. When violence erupts there, the public-safety question includes alerts, event planning, crowd movement, communication and whether departments are coordinated enough to respond when panic spreads faster than official information.
Barnes was selected by former Mayor Bruce Harrell after serving as police chief in Madison, Wisconsin. He began work in Seattle in 2025 and was later confirmed by the City Council. His résumé was national, not local. Before Seattle, he led the Madison Police Department, worked in Chicago police oversight and held policing roles in North Carolina.
In Madison, Barnes faced early speculation that he might not stay long. In 2021, after rumors circulated that he was looking elsewhere, he said he was “here for the long haul.” A few years later, he left for Seattle.
None of that alone disqualifies a police chief. Cities often hire leaders from elsewhere, and a leader can be new to a city and still serve well. But locality matters in a crisis. People want to know the person in charge understands the city not as a résumé line, but as a place.
None of this means Barnes caused the shooting at Seattle Center. The people who fired weapons in a crowded public space are responsible for the bloodshed. Police on scene responded quickly,
and the criminal investigation remains focused on those involved. But the chief’s job is larger than the seconds after shots are fired. It includes preparing the department, coordinating communication, showing visible leadership during crisis and maintaining public trust before the city is forced to ask for it. That is where Barnes’ answer to Nash still matters. For a private citizen, “I don’t have to tell you where I go” might be true. For the police chief of Washington’s largest city, said days after a mass shooting at one of Seattle’s most visible public spaces, it was alarming. His travel schedule was not a personal curiosity. It was a public-safety question. Now, the questions extend beyond Barnes. Did city agencies
communicate quickly enough? Should the police chief be regularly away while festivals and violentcrime concerns demand visible command? Was a Black chief with community support pushed out for failures that belonged to a broader system? Why hire an out-of-state chief whose connection to Seattle was still forming? Is the city’s public-safety structure strong enough to coordinate police, fire, CARE, alerts, gun-violence prevention and mayoral decision-making under stress?
All of those questions can be true at the same time.
Seattle residents can fairly ask why their police chief was not here during a mass shooting. Barnes’ supporters can fairly ask why a Black chief with community backing was pushed out so quickly. City Council can ask whether another leadership change will deepen instability. Wilson can fairly argue that trust, transparency and daily presence are essential to the job. What is harder to defend is a city government that appeared caught off guard by the public’s most basic question after a deadly shooting at one of Seattle’s largest public gatherings: Who is in charge?

Loosening My Grip to Invite Wildlife
Yesterday a hummingbird came to drink from my hose at the sidewalk right next to my car. At the same time, I’m walking face-first into spider webs near stakes, tomato cages, and buildings. Yet I’m here for it.
There’s a common need to want to control our gardens. Yet increasingly, I began to realize the benefits of loosening my grip on my pruners to invite biodiversity and an array of wildlife into my urban garden.
Erica Browne Grivas Get Growing
There was a time when insects were unwelcome in gardens, boosting sales of pesticides that blanketed ants, bees, and hoverflies along with aphids and mosquitoes. For many, even one insect in the house is too many. We once used a service that treated our home for ants, a common neighborhood problem. Spraying both inside and at the exterior foundations, the company said the spray was safe for people pets once dry, though we had to leave during application.
There are good reasons to welcome more wildlife into our yards. Not only are critical beneficial insects and pollinators in decline because of pesticide use and loss of habitat,
but they enhance the health of our soil and plants – and the wider ecosystem. Beneficial insects prey on many of the insects that feed on our plants -like aphids.
I began to be concerned about the effect of the pesticide on beneficial insects through drift or accidental contact, and in the groundwater, and cancelled the service about three years ago. Full disclosure, we still bait for ants indoors as needed.
I also became more cautious about using even organic pesticide interventions. Organic horticultural oils, like neem, are billed as safest, but there’s a large caveat. While not systemic, they will harm any insect on contact – including bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
My garden is an intensive one, with many annual floral and vegetable crops, mostly in my driveway in pots. Last year I decided to mix in plants that attract beneficial insects. Lacy phacelia, cosmos, marigolds, Ammi majus, dill, and calendula are interspersed with my dahlias, tomatoes and peppers. As a rule, the mint, carrot and aster families attract many beneficials.
Some conservationists say it can be a year or two before you begin attracting significant populations to your newly welcoming garden. It may be that I’m noticing insects more regularly as I learn more about pollinators and beneficial insects, but in the last two
years it looks to me as if the biodiversity in my front yard particularly has skyrocketed.
Other changes: I also leave my leaves in place where possible, piling any I need to clear, rather than bagging them for collection, and keep stems standing through the winter, trimming minimally (18” high) in late spring. I keep a birdbath refreshed and have installed “bee cup” watering stations. So now, when pest control salespeople stop me in the driveway, I explain how I want spiders and ants – and all the rest
Understanding the Aging Journey
of the characters - outside. In addition to hummingbirds, Steller’s Jays, swallows and chickadees, I’m seeing ladybug larvae, sweat bees, hoverflies, beneficial wasps, and so much more. Recently, I saw more than seven different insects enjoying Erigeron glaucus ‘Bountiful’ – in a five-minute span! That’s a California coast native, a.k.a. Seaside daisy, blooming purple and yellow June through November. Like the hummingbird at my hose, it’s proof that the garden’s working exactly as I’d hoped.

Chapter 2: When Is It Time to Seek Help?
Recognizing the Signs Before Caregiving Becomes a Crisis
One of the questions I hear most often from families is, “How do I know when it’s time to ask for help?”
The answer rarely comes from a single event. Families often believe that a fall, hospitalization, or medical emergency is what suddenly made additional care necessary. In more than 20 years working with older adults and their families, I have learned that these events are usually the tipping point, not the beginning of the problem. Usually, there were clear warning signs for weeks or even months that went unnoticed, were minimized, or were simply accepted as “part of getting older.”
Caregiving rarely changes overnight. It begins with helping around the house, driving to appointments, or organizing medications. Gradually, the responsibilities grow until one person is managing meals, finances, medications, transportation, household chores, and complex healthcare needs. Because changes happen so gradually, caregivers often don’t realize how much responsibility they have assumed until they are exhausted.
Here is another difficult truth: most family caregivers are not equipped to provide the level of care their aging loved one eventually requires. They do the best they can, but have rarely been trained to manage chronic illness, dementia, mobility challenges, medication regimens, or other changes that accompany aging. Without the knowledge, experience, and resources of professional caregivers, both the older adult and the caregiver may be placed at unnecessary risk.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way.
The best time to seek help is when caregiving has become more than one person can reasonably manage. The purpose of support is not simply to respond to a crisis, it is to prevent one.
SIGNS YOUR LOVED ONE MAY NEED MORE HELP
Sometimes the person needing care is telling us they need assistance, even if they never say the words aloud.
Watch for signs such as:
• Frequent falls or fear of falling
• Forgetting medications or taking them incorrectly
• Difficulty preparing meals or noticeable weight loss
• Poor hygiene or wearing the same clothes repeatedly
• Trouble managing finances or paying bills
• Increased confusion or memory loss
• Wandering or getting lost
• Difficulty keeping medical appointments
• An unsafe home environment
• Needing help with bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom
• Increased loneliness or social isolation
Any one of these changes deserves attention. Several occurring together often indicate that additional support is needed.
“THE HIDDEN PATIENT”: WHEN CARING FOR A LOVED ONE MEANS FORGETTING YOURSELF
Most people become family caregivers out of love.
No one plans to help a parent get dressed, manage medications, prepare meals, coordinate doctor appointments, or provide around-the-clock supervision. It often happens gradually; a little help after surgery, assistance following a fall, or simply stepping in because “Mom needs me.”
Many families don’t realize that while they are caring for someone they love, they may unknowingly become the next patient.
Healthcare professionals often refer to family caregivers as “the hidden patient” because caregiving can have profound effects on their own health.
THE NUMBERS TELL A POWERFUL STORY
Today, more than 53 million Americans provide unpaid care for a family member or friend. While caregiving can be deeply meaningful, research consistently shows it comes with significant health risks.
Studies have found that nearly two-thirds (66%) of family caregivers have at least one chronic health condition of their own.
One in four caregivers experiences depression, and among those caring for a loved one with dementia, the rate rises to 30 - 40%, often aggravated by insufficient sleep.
These statistics are not simply numbers. They represent spouses, sons, daughters, siblings, and friends who are sacrificing their own well-being to care for someone they love.
Many caregivers believe that exhaustion is simply part of the job. They tell themselves they’ll rest when things settle down or after the next doctor’s appointment,
the next crisis, or the next hospital stay. Unfortunately, that day often never comes. Caregiving places tremendous demands on the body and the mind. Constant lifting, interrupted sleep, emotional strain, and responsibility eventually take their toll. Occasional fatigue can gradually develop into chronic exhaustion, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, weakened immunity, and even heart disease. Caregivers also suffer from back and joint injuries caused by assisting with transfers, mobility, or preventing falls.
The effects extend beyond physical health. As caregiving consumes more of their time, many people stop exercising, eat poorly, withdraw from friends and social activities, and lose the hobbies and routines that once brought them joy. Their own identity slowly becomes secondary to the role of caregiver.
Perhaps most concerning is what caregivers stop doing for themselves. They postpone medical appointments, skip preventive screenings, ignore symptoms, and put off treatment because they cannot leave the person who depends on them. Ironically, while preserving the health of a loved one, they may be quietly sacrificing their own.
The health consequences of caregiving are real, and they deserve the same attention and compassion as the needs of the person receiving care.
Recognizing these changes early is not a sign of weakness. It is a reminder that providing the best possible care for a loved one also means protecting your own health. After all, if the caregiver becomes the next patient, everyone loses.
THE EMOTIONAL WEIGHT FEW PEOPLE SEE
The physical demands of caregiving are easy to recognize. The emotional burden is often invisible.
Every day, family caregivers make countless decisions. They worry about medications, doctor appointments, falls, finances, nutrition, and whether their loved one is safe. They balance careers, marriages, children, and their own responsibilities while trying to meet the growing needs of someone they love. Many live with the constant fear that the next phone call will bring bad news.
There is also a profound emotional loss.
Caregivers often find themselves watching a parent, spouse, or sibling gradually lose the independence, abilities, and personality they once knew. They grieve while their loved one is still alive, mourning small losses
that accumulate over months or years. This form of grief that can feel especially lonely because there is no clear beginning or end.
Many caregivers struggle with guilt. They feel guilty when frustrated, when they need a break, and or even considering additional help. They may believe that asking someone else to assist means they are failing the person they love.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Providing care was never meant to be one person’s responsibility alone. As the needs of an older adult become more complex, expecting one family member to manage every aspect of care is unrealistic. Accepting help is not giving up, it is recognizing that the best care is often provided by a team.
Support may come from family members, friends, home care services, adult day programs, respite care, assisted living, or memory care. These resources are not intended to replace the family. They strengthen it, allowing caregivers to remain healthy, present, and emotionally available while ensuring their loved one receives the care they deserve.
One of the greatest gifts a caregiver can give is not doing everything alone. It is recognizing when additional support will improve quality of life for everyone involved. Recognizing that help is needed is only the first step. The next challenge—and often the most difficult one—is understanding the care options available and choosing one that best meets your loved one’s needs while preserving their dignity, independence, and quality of life. In the next chapter of Understanding the Aging Journey, we’ll explore how to evaluate those options and make one of the most important decisions a family may face.
