Magnolia Village Gateway organizers gather beneth the arch Staff Report

embers of the Magnolia Village Beautification Committee were joined by supporters for a ribboncutting event on Saturday, November 7th, marking the completion of the Magnolia Village Gateway Project. Project leaders Cheryl McQuiston, Don Gillmore, and Susan Reilly hosted the event in front of the Magnolia Flower sculptures, newly restored and repainted in bright colors that reflect the beauty of magnolia flowers. The project has been a year in the making, and the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce was a key partner and supporter. More than 40 donors contributed to the funds needed to remove, restore, and rejuvenate the sculptures, and the City of

Seattle’s Parks and Recreation Department provided support and approved the necessary permits. The ribbon-cutting ceremony featured a toast by the approximately 25 attendees to the project’s completion and remarks from the three key leaders. “The Magnolia Village Gateway Project was a labor of love and could have only happened with the generous support of our donors and supporters,” said McQuiston, chair of the Magnolia Beautification Committee and a board member of the Chamber of Commerce. “We are so grateful for their commitment to making Magnolia Village a beautiful, welcoming place for the residents and visitors alike.” The Magnolia sculptures at the Magnolia Village Gateway, beside the Catherine

Seattle Christmas Market Returns

Blaine complex, are an important part of the neighborhood. They mark the entrance to the popular Magnolia Playfield, which spans several city blocks and is adjacent to the Magnolia Community Center, Catherine Blaine Elementary School, “Pop” Mounger Pool, and Magnolia Village. “Magnolia is a special place,” said Jason Thibeaux, executive director of the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce. “The support for the Magnolia Village Gateway Project is another example of how the community comes together to beautify our neighborhood.” For more information about the Magnolia Village Gateway Project, please see https://magnoliabeautification.com/ gateway/

Seattle’s RV Plan Hits a Roadblock as Mayor Vetoes Parking Permit Program Staff Report

fter months of debate over recreational vehicles parked on city streets, Seattle’s elected leaders remain divided over how to address vehicle homelessness while responding to neighborhood concerns. On Nov. 2, Mayor Katie Wilson vetoed legislation establishing

a new RV parking permit program, citing concerns about cost, enforcement and the possibility of leaving vulnerable residents without shelter. The following day, Wilson signed an executive order directing city departments to expand outreach, increase safe parking options and review existing enforcement practices.

The decisions follow the City Council’s Oct. 20 approval of the Vehicle Resident Assistance Program, or VRAP, a legislative package introduced by Councilmember Dan Strauss.

WHY SEATTLE PROPOSED NEW RV RULES

Seattle has struggled for years with the competing challenges of

vehicle homelessness and neighborhood livability. For some residents, an RV provides their only available shelter. For surrounding neighborhoods and businesses, long-term vehicle parking can raise concerns about blocked streets, accumulated garbage, sanitation and public safety. A 2024 estimate identified 2,569 unsheltered people living in vehicles throughout King County, although that figure includes cars, trucks and RVs. The precise number of people living in RVs on Seattle streets remains unknown. Strauss proposed VRAP to address both sides of the issue, combining additional services with restrictions on where RVs could remain parked. Supporters argued the city needed clearer expectations and stronger incentives to connect vehicle residents with housing. Critics questioned whether stricter parking enforcement would simply displace people without providing alternatives.

HOW THE PERMIT SYSTEM WOULD WORK

The most controversial portion of VRAP, Council Bill 121283, would have established a permitting system for motorhomes and travel trailers. Seattle would conduct a onetime census of people living in

qualifying vehicles. Those identified could apply for permits allowing extended parking in designated industrial areas. Permit holders would need to maintain contact with outreach workers and participate in efforts to obtain shelter or housing. Residents could decline up to six offers of appropriate shelter or housing before losing their permits. People moving into RVs after the census would not qualify for permits, although they could still seek assistance. Without a permit, RVs would face a two-hour parking limit on public streets, with warnings followed by possible impoundment. The program was expected to begin in spring 2027, with enforcement following a warning period during the summer. Those restrictions will not take effect unless the veto is overridden or replacement legislation is adopted.

WHY WILSON VETOED THE PROPOSAL

In her veto letter, Wilson acknowledged neighborhood concerns but questioned whether the permit system would accomplish its goals.

Savvy Senior:

Can’t Sleep? Help is Available

By Jim Miller Dear Savvy Senior, I’m 70 and have struggled with sleep for years. I often wake up in the middle of the night and can’t quiet my mind enough to fall back asleep. Would seeing a sleep specialist help? —Tired Terry

Dear Terry, aking up at 2 a.m. and lying there with your mind racing can be maddening, especially when you can’t seem to fall back asleep. But you don’t have to just live with it. Ongoing sleep problems often have an underlying cause that can be identified and treated. An estimated 40 to 50 percent of older adults struggle with chronic sleep problems, yet many never mention them to their doctor. That’s unfortunate because untreated sleep disorders can raise the risk of falls, memory problems, depression, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. COMMON CAUSES

Insomnia is the most common sleep complaint among older adults. It can make it hard to fall asleep, stay asleep or fall back asleep after waking during the night. For many people, the problem is a racing mind – worrying about family, finances, health issues or tomorrow’s todo list instead of sleeping. Insomnia may also stem from pain, medications, anxiety, depression, arthritis, frequent nighttime urination, acid reflux, or too much caffeine or alcohol. Another common, and often overlooked, cause of poor sleep is obstructive sleep apnea. This condition causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start during sleep, often without the person realizing it. Warning signs include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, morning headaches and excessive daytime sleepiness. Untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and other serious health problems. Restless legs syndrome, which causes an uncomfortable urge to move the legs while resting, is another condition that can make it difficult to fall asleep.

WHEN TO SEEK HELP

If you have trouble sleeping at least three nights a week for three months or longer, or you’re frequently tired during the day, talk with your primary care provider. You should also seek medical advice if you snore loudly, stop breathing during sleep, wake up gasping for air, or find yourself nodding off while reading, watching TV or driving. Your doctor can review your symptoms, medications and medical history to help identify what’s causing your sleep problems. If needed, you may be referred to a sleep specialist. SEEING A SLEEP SPECIALIST

Sleep specialists are physicians trained to diagnose and treat sleep disorders, including insomnia, sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome. Depending on your symptoms, a sleep specialist may recommend a home sleep apnea test or an overnight sleep study that monitors your breathing, brain activity, heart rate and oxygen levels while you sleep. Treatment depends on the cause. Sleep apnea is often treated with a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, machine or other therapies that help keep the airway open during sleep. For chronic insomnia, the first-line treatment is usually cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, known as CBT-I, a short-term program that helps people change the thoughts and habits that interfere with sleep. Research shows CBT-I is often more effective than sleeping pills over the long term. Medicare generally covers sleep specialist visits and medically necessary sleep tests when ordered by a doctor. People with Medicare Advantage plans may have different costs and network rules. To find an accredited sleep center, ask your doctor for a referral or visit SleepEducation.org, the public education website of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. You don’t have to accept poor sleep as a normal part of aging. If you’ve been struggling for months, or even years, talk with your doctor. The right diagnosis and treatment can help you sleep better and improve your health, safety and quality of life. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

Roll the Dice on a Winter Game Night Staff Report

here comes a point in every Pacific Northwest winter when another evening on the couch starts to feel suspiciously like the evening before. The sun has disappeared, the rain is back, and your streaming service is asking whether you are still watching. Perhaps it is time to invite a few friends over and settle the question of who among them can be trusted with a pair of dice. After all, there are only so many evenings one can spend scrolling through a phone or watching another television series. And while there’s nothing wrong with a movie marathon, if everyone is going to stare at a screen, why bother getting together? You could all do that from your own couches. Game night offers something different. It gives everyone a reason to put down their phones, gather around a table and actually interact. It also provides an excellent opportunity to discover which of your loved ones cannot be trusted. Game night starts innocently enough. Someone suggests a game, the cards are shuffled, and everyone seems to be having a wonderful time. Then someone makes a particularly ruthless move. Suddenly, the family is debating the rules, someone is threatening to quit, and

a perfectly reasonable adult is celebrating another person’s spectacular defeat. Welcome to family game night. Every group has its characters. There’s the strategist who approaches every turn like a championship. The rulebook lawyer who can locate an obscure technicality in seconds. The person who insists they’re just playing for fun, right up until they lose.And then there’s the wildcard who barely understands the rules but somehow wins anyway. Unlike watching a movie, where everyone experiences essentially the same story, games change depending on who’s sitting around the table. The quietest person might become a ruthless negotiator, while someone’s grandmother reveals a suspiciously sophisticated understanding of bluffing. Those are the moments people remember. Not every game night requires complicated rules or hours of strategy. Drawing and guessing games can turn an innocent phrase into something completely unrecognizable. Word games and trivia reveal just how differently people’s brains work, while strategy games reward careful planning and the occasional well-timed betrayal. Cooperative games let everyone work toward a shared goal, although that doesn’t

Roll for Dinner

osting friends or family for dinner is the perfect excuse to try something a little different. While familiar appetizers are always welcome, serving something unique can make a gathering feel special. These Smoked Salmon Rolls with Fresh Cheese from Lines+Angles are an elegant addition to any host’s menu. Delicate homemade crepes are filled with creamy cheese, fresh dill and smoked salmon, then sliced into bite-sized pieces that are easy to serve and share. Whether passed around on a platter or served as a starter before the main course, these savory rolls are a delicious way to impress guests without making dinner overly complicated. Directions 1. Blend together the flour, eggs, milk, salt, butter, and dill in until smooth.

necessarily prevent arguments about whose plan was better. And don’t underestimate a regular deck of cards. Generations of families have entertained themselves with little more than 52 cards, a few snacks and an alarming willingness to hold grudges over a bad hand. The best game isn’t necessarily the newest or most complicated. It’s whichever one gets people laughing and asking for another round. One of game night’s greatest advantages is its simplicity. No tickets, reservations or favorable weather required. Invite a few people over, choose a couple of games and put together something to eat. Knowing the rules beforehand helps avoid a dramatic reading of the instruction booklet while everyone waits to have fun. Finger foods, appetizers and bite-sized desserts make it easy to snack between turns. Just consider the consequences before serving anything that leaves bright orange fingerprints on the cards. The evening doesn’t need elaborate decorations or a carefully planned schedule. The point is to spend time together, not create another obligation. And if everyone has fun, why not make it a tradition? A monthly gathering gives friends

and family something to anticipate during the darker months, with guests taking turns hosting or bringing their favorite games. The best game nights produce stories that outlast the games themselves. Someone makes an impossibly lucky guess. Someone else spends the evening plotting revenge for a move that happened in the first round. A terrible drawing becomes an inside joke nobody outside the group could possibly understand. Years later, nobody may remember what everyone was watching on television that particular Friday night. But they’ll remember the spectacular comeback, the terrible bluff or the time someone managed to lose a game they were absolutely certain they’d won. As winter settles over the Pacific Northwest, it’s tempting to spend every evening tucked away at home. But sometimes, the most entertaining thing in the room isn’t on a screen. It’s the people sitting around the table. So clear off the table, invite a few friends over and prepare to make some memories. Just remember: game night is about bringing people together, not winning. Unless someone beats you. Then cut them out of your life forever.

lanning a party or hosting a get-together? A delicious dessert is always a welcome addition to the table, and sometimes the simplest treats are the biggest crowd-pleasers. Lemon bars offer the perfect combination of sweet and tart, with a bright citrus filling and buttery shortbread crust that makes them hard to resist. It’s also worth considering guests with dietary restrictions or sensitive stomachs. Fortunately, accommodating different needs doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor or skipping dessert altogether. These “Lemon Bars” from The Complete IBS Diet Plan

(Rockridge Press) by Amanda Foote, RD, offer a sweet and tangy treat designed with IBS-friendly eating in mind. Easy to slice into individual portions and serve on a dessert platter, they’re a delicious way to level up your party spread while making sure more guests can enjoy a little something sweet. Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter. 2. In a blender, combine the flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and salt and pulse 10 times in 1-second bursts. 3. Add the butter and coconut oil. Pulse 4 to 5 times

more, in 1-second bursts, until the mixture resembles sand. 4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press the crust into the bottom and slightly up on the sides. 5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until just brown. 6. While the crust bakes, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and flour. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, rice milk, and salt. Pour the mixture into the warm crust. 7. Bake for about 20 minutes until the filling is set. 8. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Refrigerate before cutting into bars and serving.

Mayor Wilson Announces Next Steps in Police Chief Search Office of Mayor Katie B. Wilson

oday, Mayor Katie Wilson provided an update on the search for the City of Seattle’s next permanent Police Chief after the closing of the initial application period and community feedback collection. There were over 40 qualified applications by the first consideration date at the end of October, including both internal and external candidates, and the search is on track for the mayor to make her selection in the next few months. “When I look at the biggest challenges facing Seattle, our next police chief will play an indispensable role in making Seattle a great place to live. Seattle deserves a chief who is ready to help build a public safety system that matches our city’s values and priorities, who is present in our community and in this department, and who cares deeply about both,” said Mayor Wilson. “I want to thank everyone who shared their feedback during this search process for helping to define the parameters for our search, everyone that applied, and our advisory committee for their outstanding work so far. Staff who have been involved in multiple searches described this as the strongest candidate pool in years, and I am confident that we will arrive at a great selection at the end of this process.” The Mayor’s Office conducted extensive outreach and consultation since the search launched in August. There was a public survey with over 1,300 respondents, public listening sessions facilitated by Seattle Neighborhood Group in South, Central, North, a translated session with Asian communities, and small community roundtables. More than 400 Seattleites participated in the roundtables and listening sessions. “We went to the people. Together, we built a safe environment for neighbors and community partners to focus on constructive feedback,” said Aaron Yoon, Executive Director, Seattle Neighborhood Group.

“Different cultures and diverse communities came out and broke bread as one. When people feel safe and heard, new belief in one another becomes possible.” Several recurring themes emerged from the public engagement on what qualities and qualifications people want from the next chief including: Someone who is deeply connected to Seattle. Someone interested in developing proactive relationships and engaging Seattle’s diverse communities. Someone who emphasizes accountability, transparency, and rebuilding community trust. Someone ready to improve operational performance including 9-1-1 response time, visible patrols, coordination across departments, and measurable safety outcomes.

Someone ready to implement a balanced approach to public safety that pairs enforcement with prevention and diversified response. Someone who will lead with cultural competence, emotional intelligence, humility, and the ability to build strong relationships with community. Someone who is collaborative, datadriven, and ready to work with businesses, partners, and community to address crime, disorder, and everyday safety. Mayor Wilson has begun meeting with Seattle Police Department staff this month and has launched an internal survey to hear directly from employees what matters most to them in the selection of their next chief. “I am so pleased that we received so many qualified internal and external candidates. Each of the applicants seem so earnest in

their interest in Seattle and in serving our community,” said Advisory Committee cochair Justice Mary Yu (ret.). “I also appreciate and value the range of public input we received. The concerns of our community and the attributes they want to see in a Police Chief will guide our decision-making and recommendations to the mayor.” The Police Chief Search Advisory Committee used feedback to assess candidates and are currently reviewing applicants. The advisory committee includes community leaders and public safety experts and has the responsibility to assess candidates based on law enforcement executive qualifications and experience as well as the community input and to recommend up to five individuals to proceed to a competitive examination. “The applicant pool demonstrates that being Seattle’s Police Chief is one of the top public safety roles the country,” said Ian Warner, Public Policy Director at Vulcan Real Estate. “While there are tough choices ahead, this selection process is well-positioned.” The advisory committee is co-chaired by Justice Mary Yu (ret.) and Ian Warner. Justice Yu recently retired from the Washington Supreme Court after 25 years of combined judicial service on the Supreme Court and the King County Superior Court. Mr. Warner is the Public Policy Director at Vulcan Real Estate and previously served as Senior Public Policy Director at Zillow, legal counsel to the Seattle Mayor’s Office, and a member of the Monitoring Team that oversaw the Seattle Police Department’s implementation of the federal consent decree. The advisory committee will advance the top candidates for a competitive examination later this month, final interviews with Mayor Wilson in December, and a final selection in the next few months. Once selected, the nominee will be required to undergo City Council confirmation.

Seattle School Board Considers Legal Action Over Voter-Approved Sports Initiative Staff Report

eattle Public Schools is considering legal action following Washington voters’ approval of Initiative 638, a measure that changes eligibility requirements for girls’ school sports and raises questions about student privacy, discrimination and compliance with state law. The Seattle School Board scheduled a special meeting for Monday, Nov. 9, to consider authorizing Superintendent Ben Shuldiner and district legal counsel to pursue legal action regarding the initiative. Approximately 56% of Washington voters supported the measure in the Nov. 3 election. It is scheduled to take effect Dec. 3, unless a court intervenes. The initiative prohibits students it defines as biologically male from competing in interscholastic athletic competitions designated exclusively for female students. The restriction would prevent transgender girls from participating on girls’ teams, reversing Washington’s longstanding approach to athletic eligibility based on gender identity. The measure also introduces new medical verification requirements for students seeking to participate in girls’ sports. WHAT THE INITIATIVE REQUIRES Under Initiative 638, students participating in female-only interscholastic athletics must submit a statement from a health care provider verifying their biological sex as a condition of eligibility. The initiative specifies that verification must be based on reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup or naturally produced testosterone levels.

Supporters argue the requirements will protect fairness and competitive opportunities for female athletes. They maintain that the verification process can be incorporated into existing sports physicals without requiring unnecessary additional examinations. Opponents argue that the measure discriminates against transgender students and could subject girls to invasive medical examinations or testing. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association’s existing sports physical requirements do not mandate genital examinations, chromosome testing or hormone testing. Questions remain about how schools and medical providers will interpret and implement the initiative’s requirements. Unlike the verification requirements for girls’ teams, the measure does not establish an equivalent process for boys’ athletics.

SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS QUESTIONS LEGALITY The Seattle School Board unanimously adopted a resolution opposing Initiative 638 in September, before voters approved the measure. Board members cited concerns about students’ dignity, privacy, safety and emotional well-being, as well as the district’s commitment to inclusive athletic opportunities. The district already maintains policies intended to protect transgender and gender-expansive students from discrimination and provide equal access to educational programs and activities. The new initiative raises questions about how those protections will operate alongside the voter-approved athletic restrictions.

In an interview with KUOW on Nov. 8, School Board President Gina Topp said district officials need clarification about the initiative’s legality. “There’s some confusion here about how and if the law is legal,” Topp said. “When that happens, I think we have a duty as a school board to seek the clarification we need in order to govern.” According to the board’s meeting agenda, members planned to discuss potential litigation with legal counsel during a closed executive session before considering a resolution authorizing legal action in public. Approval would permit the superintendent and district attorneys to pursue legal remedies or clarification concerning the initiative. However, authorizing legal action would not necessarily mean that a lawsuit had been filed or that the district could disregard the measure’s requirements. Any decision to suspend or block enforcement would depend on subsequent legal proceedings.

A STATEWIDE DISAGREEMENT Initiative 638 was sponsored by Let’s Go Washington, a political organization that argued the measure was necessary to preserve fairness and safety in girls’ sports. Supporters contend that athletic divisions based on biological sex help protect competitive opportunities for female students. Opponents maintain that transgender students should be allowed to participate in sports consistent with their gender identity and that the initiative imposes additional barriers on students seeking to join school teams. The disagreement extends beyond athletic competition to questions about medical privacy, student rights and the authority of school districts to challenge voter-approved laws. Advocacy organizations, including the Gender Justice League, have also considered legal action over the initiative. Washington previously allowed transgender students to participate on athletic teams consistent with

their gender identity under policies dating back to 2007. The new measure represents a significant change to that framework, leaving school districts with limited time to prepare for implementation. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? The initiative’s scheduled Dec. 3 effective date gives school administrators, coaches, families and medical providers only a few weeks to determine how the requirements will work. Seattle Public Schools must consider how to handle athletic registration, medical documentation and student confidentiality while legal questions remain unresolved. A legal challenge could seek clarification about the initiative’s constitutionality or request that a court prevent enforcement while litigation proceeds. Filing a lawsuit alone would not suspend the law. For families, the immediate concern is whether eligibility requirements and registration procedures will change before upcoming athletic seasons. The School Board’s decision could help determine whether Seattle Public Schools becomes directly involved in litigation over the initiative. Regardless of the outcome, the district faces the challenge of responding to a statewide election result while maintaining its existing commitments to student safety, privacy and access to school activities. Additional information about board meetings and district policies is available at seattleschools.org.

When the Lights Go Out: Preparing for Seattle’s Storm Season Staff Report

CREATIVE CAT STUDIO – STOCK.ADOBE.COM

powerful burst of wind and rain swept through Seattle Saturday evening, Nov. 7, knocking down trees and power lines and leaving more than 40,000 Seattle City Light customers without electricity. Outages stretched across the utility’s service area, affecting neighborhoods including West Seattle, Capitol Hill, Montlake and Eastlake. Fallen trees blocked roadways, damaged electrical infrastructure and complicated restoration efforts. Crews worked overnight to restore service. By Sunday afternoon, Seattle City Light reported that electricity had been restored to approximately 98% of affected customers. The storm arrived just one day after Seattle City Light published new guidance encouraging residents to prepare for winter weather. Saturday’s outages demonstrated how quickly ordinary routines can be disrupted when electricity disappears. Fortunately, preparing for an outage does not require expensive equipment or elaborate emergency plans.

KNOW WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION

One of the simplest preparations is bookmarking Seattle City Light’s outage map at seattle.gov/poweroutage. The map updates every five minutes, showing affected areas, known causes and estimated restoration times when available. Estimates may change as crews assess damage and determine what repairs are necessary. If an outage does not appear after approximately five minutes, customers should report it by calling 206-684-3000, preferably with their account number available. Residents should also understand that certain underground electrical networks in Downtown, First Hill and the University District do not appear on the outage map. City Light is testing automatic outage notifications by text and email for smaller outages affecting fewer than 500 customers. Broader notifications are planned for 2027. Customers can update their notification preferences at myutilities.seattle.gov. For severe weather and other emergencies, residents can register for Alert Seattle notifications at seattle.gov/alerts or text SEATTLE to 67283.

BUILD A PRACTICAL EMERGENCY KIT

A basic outage kit should contain flashlights, spare batteries, drinking water, nonperishable food, a manual can opener, blankets and a first-aid kit. Include prescription medications, pet supplies, cash and a battery-powered radio. Keep everything in an accessible location that can be reached in the dark. Portable power banks are especially useful for keeping phones charged. Recharge them whenever significant storms are forecast. Seattle’s Office of Emergency Management recommends maintaining enough supplies to last seven to 10 days for larger emergencies. Preparation should also account for individual household needs. Residents relying on powered medical equipment, refrigerated medication or electrically operated accessibility devices should establish backup arrangements before an outage. City Light offers a Life Support Equipment program that provides additional notifications for qualifying customers, although it does not supply backup electricity.

PROTECT YOUR FOOD AND APPLIANCES

When electricity fails, resist the temptation to repeatedly check the refrigerator. According to federal food safety guidance, a closed refrigerator generally keeps food safe for approximately four hours. A full freezer can maintain safe temperatures for about 48 hours, or 24 hours if half-full. Food that has been above 40 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours or longer should be discarded. Refrigerator and freezer thermometers can help residents determine whether food remained safe. Unplug computers, televisions and other sensitive electronics to reduce the risk of damage when electricity returns. Leave one light switched on so you know when service has been restored.

AVOID DANGEROUS SHORTCUTS

Power outages can create hazards beyond the inconvenience of darkness. Never use charcoal grills, camping stoves or outdoor heaters inside a home or garage. These devices can produce deadly carbon monoxide, an invisible, odorless gas. Portable generators must operate outdoors, more than 20 feet from windows, doors and ventilation openings. Homes should have functioning carbon monoxide detectors with battery backup. Fallen electrical wires are another serious danger. Always assume a downed line is energized, remain at least 30 feet away and call 911. Never attempt to move a wire or anything touching it. Traffic signals without power should be treated as all-way stops. Drivers should also watch for fallen branches, standing water and emergency crews working along roadways.

PREPARE BEFORE THE NEXT STORM

When severe weather is forecast, charge phones and electric vehicles, fill gas tanks and secure outdoor furniture or decorations that could become airborne. Residents with electric garage doors should learn how to operate the manual release before losing power. Homeowners should also inspect trees for damaged limbs and contact qualified professionals when branches threaten electrical lines. Never attempt to trim vegetation near energized equipment yourself. Finally, check on neighbors, particularly older adults, people with disabilities and those living alone. Saturday’s storm demonstrated that even a brief period of severe weather can disrupt electricity across large portions of Seattle. A charged phone, a stocked emergency kit and a household plan may not prevent an outage, but they can make the hours without electricity considerably safer and more manageable.

Governor Ferguson Chooses Jimi Hendrix for Washington’s U.S. Mint Innovation Coin

NOVEMBER 11, 2026

Election 2026: What the Results Mean for Seattle Staff Report

ashington’s Nov. 3 election brought decisions that will affect public transportation, state taxes and school policies. While candidates dominated some headlines, ballot measures could have more immediate consequences for Seattle residents.

Governor Bob Ferguson speaks at the 2025 Medal of Honor & Medal of Merit ceremony at the state Capitol on March 18, 2026. Jimi Hendrix was honored with the Medal of Merit at the ceremony. Submitted

overnor Bob Ferguson today announced he has chosen Jimi Hendrix as Washington’s submission to the U.S. Mint American Innovation $1 Coin Program. The program, first launched by the Mint in 2019, honors innovation and innovators from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories by issuing four new $1 coins every year through 2032. Washington state is set for a 2029 release. Governor Ferguson designated Washington Treasurer Mike Pellicciotti as the state’s official liaison to the U.S. Mint. Pellicciotti assembled an Innovation Coin Advisory Committee of state leaders in history and innovation to review public submissions, generate additional ideas, collaborate on concepts and

formalize the state’s submission to the Mint. The committee unanimously approved five finalists for Governor Ferguson to choose from. “Washington is one of the most innovative states in the nation,” Governor Ferguson said. “The finalists were all strong examples of this. The Innovation Coin program is a unique opportunity to honor our history and share Washington’s story. Picking just one example from the most innovative state in the nation was difficult, but Jimi Hendrix’s historic innovation on guitar and his deep roots in Washington make him a great choice to represent our state.” Born in Seattle in 1947, Jimi Hendrix revolutionized electric guitar. He attended Horace Mann Elementary School, Washington Junior High and Garfield High School. His first musical gig was in Seattle. Hendrix was inducted into the

RV PLAN, FROM 1 She cited the administrative burden of conducting a census, issuing permits and monitoring compliance, along with the potential costs of enforcement. Wilson also raised concerns about the legality and practicality of towing occupied vehicles, particularly when residents have nowhere else to go. She warned that impounding vehicles used as homes could push some residents into unsheltered homelessness. The mayor did not reject the entire legislative package. She signed four related ordinances, including legislation expanding the city’s ability to lease property for safe parking, vehicle storage and related services.

WHAT THE MAYOR PROPOSES INSTEAD

On Nov. 3, Wilson signed Executive Order 2026-09, outlining an alternative approach focused on outreach, services and neighborhood conditions. The order directs Seattle’s Human Services Department to strengthen connections between vehicle residents and

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 along with his band, the Jimi Hendrix Experience. In 2023, Rolling Stone named Hendrix the greatest guitarist of all time, calling him “a true master of the instrument.” Hendrix was listed above iconic guitarists like Chuck Berry, Jeff Beck, B.B. King, Carlos Santana and others. “Everyone was using tiny brushes and doing watercolors, while Jimi Hendrix was painting galactic scenes in Cinemascope,” Santana is credited with saying. In its summary of his relatively short performing career before he died in 1970, Rolling Stone focused on his innovation and influence on music and culture. “He popularized the use of feedback, invented his own fusion of blues and psychedelia, and influenced the development of rock, metal, funk, and much more,” Rolling

housing assistance, shelter and safe parking programs. It also calls for funding to help open Glassyard Commons, a planned RV safe parking location in West Seattle, while supporting additional parking capacity. Safe parking facilities provide designated locations where people can remain in their vehicles while accessing services and working toward stable housing. Wilson also directed city departments to review existing enforcement practices and identify ways to address sanitation, public safety and problematic vehicles. Unlike the vetoed legislation, the executive order does not establish a new citywide two-hour parking restriction for unpermitted RVs.

COUNCIL DISAGREEMENT AND NEXT STEPS

Strauss criticized the veto, arguing that Seattle’s existing approach has failed both vehicle residents and surrounding neighborhoods. He maintained that VRAP would have established clearer rules while expanding

Stone noted. “In an era when music was still largely racially segregated, the emergence of Hendrix — a Black artist who left white crowds gaping in awe — was a seismic event that obliterated cultural barriers.” In addition to Hendrix, the finalists for Washington’s coin were: • Billy Frank Jr. and Treaty Rights Innovation • Indigenous Ecosystem Management and Reef-net Fishing Innovation • Bruce Lee and Martial Arts Innovation • Medic One and Medic Two, and Paramedic Innovation The next phase will include design development, consultation with the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, and public review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. The final design selection will be made by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.

opportunities for residents to transition into housing. Wilson has said she shares those broader goals but believes the permit system would create unnecessary complications and potentially harmful consequences. The disagreement raises a central question: Can parking restrictions encourage people to accept housing assistance, or will they simply move vehicle homelessness from one neighborhood to another? Wilson’s executive order establishes a working group to review services, enforcement and policy options. Recommendations are expected within 60 days, with possible replacement legislation anticipated by March 31, 2027. The City Council could also override the veto with six votes. For now, Seattle’s newly approved assistance measures can proceed, but the proposed RV permit system remains blocked. The challenge ahead is finding a policy that addresses neighborhood conditions while providing realistic alternatives for people whose vehicles are also their homes.

MORE FUNDING FOR SEATTLE TRANSIT Seattle Proposition 1 received approximately 72% support, authorizing a 0.3% sales tax for transportation beginning April 2027. The measure replaces the existing 0.15% tax, effectively doubling Seattle’s dedicated transit sales tax for up to 10 years. The funding is expected to generate approximately $138 million annually, preserving existing bus service while supporting additional routes, evening and weekend service, reduced fares and transit improvements. For shoppers, the increase amounts to an additional 15 cents per $100 in taxable purchases. NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR SCHOOL ATHLETICS Statewide Initiative 638 passed with approximately 57% support, changing Washington’s longstanding policy allowing transgender students to participate in school sports consistent with their gender identity. The measure prohibits transgender girls from competing on girls’ K-12 teams and requires medical verification of sex for all students participating in girls’ athletics. Verification must come from a healthcare provider and be based on reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup or naturally produced testosterone levels. Supporters argued the measure protects fairness in girls’ sports. Opponents raised concerns about privacy, discrimination and the additional verification requirements affecting all girls seeking to participate. Schools and athletic organizations will now face the task of implementing the requirements, potentially alongside legal challenges. WASHINGTON’S HIGH-INCOME TAX REMAINS Voters rejected Initiative 645, which sought to repeal Washington’s newly enacted 9.9% tax on annual household income exceeding $1 million. The tax is scheduled to begin in 2028, with initial payments due in 2029. Most Washington households will not owe the tax. Revenue is intended to support education and other public services, although its eventual financial impact will depend on collections and state spending decisions. STUDENT PRIVACY RULES REMAIN Voters also rejected Initiative 001, which proposed changing parental access to certain student records, including information involving counseling and healthcare. The result preserves existing state protections and access rules rather than expanding parental disclosure requirements. Together, the election results establish different directions for transportation funding, taxation and education policy. For Seattle residents, their effects will become clearer as city and state agencies implement the approved measures.

Staff Report

proposal for a shorter Ballard-to-downtown light rail line is renewing debate over Sound Transit’s expansion plans. Published Nov. 9 by Seattle Transit Blog contributor Martin Pagel, the proposal suggests Sound Transit could bring service to Ballard sooner by postponing construction of a second downtown transit tunnel. The agency is preparing an environmental review of the voterapproved Ballard Link Extension. Under Sound Transit’s current financial plan, construction is funded from SODO through downtown and South Lake Union to Seattle Center, with service scheduled to begin in 2042. The extension north through Smith Cove and Interbay to Ballard, however, lacks secured construction funding. The full extension would add approximately 7.7 miles of rail, up to nine stations and a new 3.3-mile downtown tunnel. In May, the Sound Transit Board adopted an updated regional expansion plan addressing an estimated $34.5 billion financial gap across its long-term program. The revised plan dedicates $18.1 billion to the Ballard corridor, including $300 million to complete design through Market Street. Construction north of Seattle Center still requires an estimated $7 billion

to $9 billion in additional savings or funding capacity. Sound Transit has identified approximately $3 billion in potential savings. To preserve a possible 2042 opening for the entire extension, the agency must identify approximately $1 billion in additional savings or funding capacity by 2030 for property acquisition, then secure remaining construction funding by 2033. Federal assistance remains important to Sound Transit’s expansion program, although grants supporting other projects do not automatically become available for Ballard. Sound Transit’s 2026 budget includes approximately $212.4 million in federal grant revenue, supporting projects including the Lynnwood, Federal Way and Downtown Redmond extensions, along with transit maintenance. Separately, Seattle’s Office of Planning and Community Development is using a $1.75 million Federal Transit Administration grant for transit-oriented development planning along the Ballard and West Seattle light rail corridors. That work examines housing and neighborhood connections near stations, but does not resolve the construction shortfall. Sound Transit continues seeking funding. Pagel’s proposal challenges one of the project’s most expensive components: the second downtown tunnel. Rather than waiting for the entire planned system, he suggests

operating a shorter line between Ballard and Westlake. Such an approach would require a way to maintain and store trains without depending on the new tunnel. Sound Transit previously studied alternatives including a separate maintenance facility in Interbay and a connection to the existing downtown tunnel. The agency concluded those approaches would not provide sufficient savings, citing engineering challenges and substantial costs. Pagel instead suggests examining a single-track maintenance connection between the proposed line and the existing tunnel near the Seattle Convention Center. That connection could potentially allow trains to reach an existing maintenance facility without requiring a separate Interbay facility or the full second downtown tunnel. Sound Transit has not adopted the concept, and no detailed engineering study or verified cost estimate establishes its feasibility. The funding uncertainty also affects stations planned north of Seattle Center. Under the current plan, Seattle Center station would be included in the funded portion of the extension. Smith Cove station, planned near Elliott Avenue West and the Magnolia Bridge, and Interbay station near West Dravus Street remain part of the proposed alignment but are not currently funded for construction.

Ballard Light Rail Faces Funding Gap as Advocates Propose Faster Route to Service

Those stations could provide new connections for residents, employees and visitors who currently depend on buses or cars to reach regional rail. Their locations could influence surrounding streets, pedestrian access, bus connections and future development. Final station designs and the alignment have not been approved. Sound Transit and the Federal Transit Administration are scheduled to publish the Ballard Link Extension Draft Environmental Impact Statement on Dec. 11. The document will evaluate the full route from SODO to Ballard, including sections without secured construction funding. Residents will have 60 days to review the findings and submit comments, with the period closing Feb. 9, 2027. The review will examine alternative routes, station locations, construction disruption, property

acquisition and other potential impacts. Sound Transit’s Board is expected to confirm or modify the preferred alternative in 2027, followed by a final environmental review and project selection in 2028. Advancing environmental review does not guarantee construction funding. For now, the project has a funded path to Seattle Center in 2042, while reaching Ballard depends on additional resources. Pagel’s proposal introduces another possibility, but questions remain about cost, engineering and compatibility with the existing network. The upcoming review gives residents a chance to weigh those local consequences directly.

Staff Report

or decades, Seattle’s independent businesses have helped define its neighborhoods. Restaurants have hosted generations of family celebrations, neighborhood shops have become familiar landmarks, and longtime owners have built relationships that extend far beyond individual transactions. But for some of those businesses, staying in Seattle has become increasingly difficult. A 2026 Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce business climate survey found that 47% of responding businesses had seriously considered moving operations, jobs or investment outside the city. The findings reflect growing uncertainty among employers, but the stories behind the numbers reveal a more personal struggle. Some owners have already closed their doors. Others are exhausting their savings to remain open, while still others are questioning whether their businesses would be more sustainable elsewhere.

LONGTIME ESTABLISHMENTS REACH DIFFICULT DECISIONS

Chef Brendan McGill spent more than a decade operating restaurants in Seattle before closing his remaining city locations, Café Hitchcock and Oyster Cellar, in May. McGill, whose restaurant group continues operating on Bainbridge Island, told the Puget Sound Business Journal in October that his attachment to Seattle was no longer enough to justify financially unsustainable decisions. His departure illustrates a distinction often lost in discussions about business closures: Some owners are not abandoning their industries or retiring. They are choosing to operate outside Seattle. For others, the decision to close comes after years of trying to make the numbers work. Pam Jacob, owner of Pam’s Kitchen, a Trinidadian restaurant that has operated in Seattle for approximately 20 years, announced plans to close on Nov. 29. In an October interview with KIRO Newsradio, Jacob described declining sales, increasing ingredient costs and the financial burden of keeping the restaurant operating. She said she had refinanced her home, accumulated credit card debt and received community donations to help cover overdue rent. Despite those efforts, the restaurant’s financial challenges remained. “It’s taking everything from me,” Jacob told the station. Another longtime restaurant family faced a similar decision in Pioneer Square. Angela Williams, whose family has operated restaurants in the neighborhood for more than three decades, closed Luigi’s Italian Eatery in September. In an interview with The Center Square, Williams cited rising rent, operating expenses, regulations and declining customer traffic. After attempting

to renegotiate expenses and find ways to continue, she concluded that another difficult winter could deepen the family’s financial losses. “We had to stop digging,” Williams said. The closures are not all driven by identical circumstances. Each business faces its own combination of expenses, customer demand, lease arrangements and personal considerations. Nevertheless, their experiences reflect some of the concerns identified in the Chamber’s survey.

HALFPOINT – STOCK.ADOBE.COM

After Decades in Seattle, Businesses Question Whether They Can Afford to Stay

NEARLY HALF HAVE CONSIDERED LEAVING

The survey, conducted with the Downtown Seattle Association, collected responses from 247 businesses and organizations between Aug. 26 and Sept. 25. Of those participating, 34% had operated for more than 30 years, while another 18% had been in business for 21 to 30 years. Among respondents, 56% said Seattle’s business climate had worsened over the previous year, while 61% expressed pessimism about operating, growing or investing in the city. Public safety and taxes or fees were each identified as major challenges by 64% of respondents. Homelessness and behavioral health conditions followed at 61%, while 59% identified labor costs. Commercial rents and real estate expenses were cited by 29%. However, considering relocation is different from actually leaving. Among respondents who answered a question about their plans for the following year, only 9% expected to relocate outside Seattle. Nearly half anticipated maintaining approximately the same level of operations. The voluntary survey also represents a small portion of Seattle’s business community and cannot establish that its findings reflect every employer’s experience.

THE COST OF LOSING NEIGHBORHOOD INSTITUTIONS

In October, Mi La Cay, a Vietnamese restaurant in the Chinatown-International District, closed after 34 years. Co-owner Trinh Ong told FOX 13 that changing customer traffic, competition, neighborhood conditions and personal health concerns contributed to the family’s decision. For generations of customers, the restaurant had been more than somewhere to eat. It was a familiar gathering place and a connection to the community’s history. Its closure demonstrates what can be lost when a longstanding establishment disappears. Vacant storefronts can affect neighboring businesses, reduce pedestrian activity and leave residents traveling farther for familiar services. Employees may lose jobs or face longer commutes, while

customers lose relationships developed over years or decades. New businesses can eventually occupy those spaces, but replacing a tenant does not automatically replace the history and connections that came before it.

CAN SEATTLE MAKE STAYING WORTHWHILE?

Business owners have identified several changes they believe could improve conditions, including stronger public safety, more predictable taxes and fees, and increased support for small businesses. Seattle has already made significant changes to its business and occupation tax. Beginning in January 2026, the city raised the threshold for its B&O

illiam Robert Hickman passed away Friday evening, October 16th, after a short stay in the hospice unit at Northwest Hospital. After enduring the last eight years with Alzheimer’s Disease, he was finally called home to rest. After Last Rites were given and a good bye kiss from Darlene, wife of 61 years, his body relaxed and he was finally at peace.

William was born to Marvin and Helena Hickman on Beacon Hill in Longview, WA on February 21st, 1942. He attended Kelso High School where he met the love of his life, Darlene, in Latin class. He graduated in 1960 and then moved to Seattle to attend Seattle University, majoring in Physics. During his final year at Seattle University, he discovered an unexpected passion for law after taking an introductory political science class. This changed the course of his life as he decided to apply to law school. He graduated from Seattle University in 1964 and was accepted to Columbia Law School in New York City. He spent one year at Columbia and that was one year too many to be away from Darlene. They were married in September 1965 and Darlene joined him in NY. That Thanksgiving, William and Darlene invited four lawschool friends—fellow Pacific Northwesterners—to celebrate their first holiday as a married couple in New York City. While preparing her first Thanksgiving dinner, Darlene learned how to cook a turkey in a three-story Manhattan walk-up in the 1960s: although she set the oven to 350 degrees, it was still holding at 125 an hour later because of the building’s limited electrical power. Dinner may have been delayed from 2 p.m. until 9 p.m., but plenty

tax to $2 million in annual taxable revenue, eliminating that tax liability for many smaller businesses. Businesses above the threshold receive a deduction, although applicable tax rates have also increased. Those changes may reduce costs for some employers, but they do not directly resolve challenges involving rent, insurance, labor expenses or declining customer traffic. Not every owner facing those pressures is preparing to leave. Jamila Conley, owner of WeRise Wine Bar, told KIRO 7 in October that she remains deeply committed to Seattle despite the financial and operational challenges of running a business in the city. Her comments reflect the tension facing many owners: a desire

to remain part of the community alongside the practical need to keep a business financially viable. For Seattle’s longtime establishments, the decision is rarely as simple as comparing expenses between cities. Leaving can mean abandoning familiar customers, disrupting employees’ lives, walking away from decades of investment and breaking longstanding lease agreements. But remaining open at a continued financial loss may be equally difficult. As more established owners weigh those choices, the question extends beyond whether Seattle can attract new businesses. It is whether the city can retain the businesses that helped build its neighborhoods in the first place.

of wine, hors d’oeuvres, and Bach kept the party going. In 1967 William graduated from Columbia Law School. They decided to move back to Seattle where William clerked for Justice Robert Utter of the King County Superior Court. Soon after William passed the bar he joined Reed McClure Law Firm. William created himself a specialized niche as an appellate and insurance coverage lawyer. In his 50 years of practice, he handled more than 450 appeals in state and federal courts. He founded the Washington Insurance Law Letter in 1975, which he edited for forty years. The letter was still being published and distributed by Reed Mcclure as recently as 2025. William was deeply involved in his community. After moving to Queen Anne Hill in 1967, he and Darlene bec ame ac tive parishioners at St. Anne Church. He could often be found singing in the choir or serving at the lectern. William was known for his powerful, commanding baritone voice, and parishioners frequently remarked that they could hear him clearly from the last pew. His ability to project his voice served him well in his work with Pacific Northwest Track & Field. He served as a starter for trackand-field and cross-country events, a role he thoroughly enjoyed. He loved working meets in all kinds of weather and watching young athletes give their best, demonstrating grit and tenacity. One of his greatest honors was serving as a timer at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. He also served on the USATF Rules Committee and the IAAF Rules Committee. William was a devoted husband and loving father. He encouraged his daughters, Kristin and Kari-Mae, to be determined,

William R. Hickman thoughtful, curious and to engage in thoughtful-debate. When there was something to be discussed in the family, William of ten quoted the King of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, “Begin at the beginning,” he would say “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” William enjoyed opera and classical music. Sunday mornings he would often wake his daughters for church by playing either “Fanfare for the Common Man” or “Ride of the Valkyries”. William will be remembered for The Hickman’s lively St. Patrick’s Day parties, where a single invitation meant you were welcomed for life. Guests could always count on good food, Irish music, and a keg of Harp and Guinness. He also treasured latenight Scotch tastings with his sonsin-law and the many journeys he

and Darlene shared during their 61 years of marriage, including trips to Ireland, Italy, and Greece. William was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Kristin. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Darlene; his son-in-law, Bill Ollenbrook; his daughter, Kari-Mae Miles, and son-in-law, Jeffrey Miles; and his beautiful and brilliant grandchildren, Katherine (Austin Lucas), William, Jack, Robert and Matthew.
