  • Seattle 2025 cruise season sees record passengers, $1.2B economic benefit

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – The Port of Seattle announced the end of the 2025 cruise season, which saw a record number of passengers, sailings and economic benefit.

    By the numbers:

    There were a total of 298 ship calls and 1.9 million passengers, along with a record 65% of ships using shore power at berth in 2025.

    The season also delivered an estimated $1.2 billion in regional economic benefit, according to the Port of Seattle. It also provided more than 5,120 direct and indirect jobs throughout the season.

    Cruise ships made 23 sailings to different destinations, including Mexico, Hawaii, New Zealand, Asia, and coastal cruises along the Pacific Northwest.

    “Seattle set new standards this season on environmental sustainability and economic development by focusing on a shared vision across the Port and our cruise partners,” said Port of Seattle Executive Director Steve Metruck. “We are not just preparing for the future — we are building it. With major infrastructure investments we are preparing for the 2027 requirement that all home port ships connect to shore power at the dock. Through our Pacific Northwest to Alaska Green Corridor and partnership work we are advancing market development for alternative maritime fuels such as green methanol and renewable biodiesel. Our cruise line partners are making deeper investments locally as well to expand economic activity, the impact of which we estimate to be worth $1.2 billion each year. We end this season in a very strong position and look forward to an even better 2026.”

    The Port of Seattle also welcomed Cunard’s “Queen Elizabeth” for its first Seattle home port season, which operated 11 roundtrip voyages out of Seattle and will return in 2026.

    “Seattle is a premier home port for unforgettable Alaska cruise experiences, and the cruise industry is proud to bring significant economic impact to the region while showcasing the Pacific Northwest’s beauty, attractions, local businesses, and stunning new Waterfront Park,” said Sally Andrews, Vice President of Communications for Cruise Lines International Association. “As the 2025 season ends, we celebrate another successful year of collaboration, innovation, and advancing sustainability goals.”

    The Port also highlighted the use of its shore power, which 65% of ships plugged into this year. The goal is for 100% of homeported ships to utilize shore power by 2027.

  • Accused Edmonds, WA cop impersonator seen interacting with Seattle firefighters

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – A man charged with impersonating an Edmonds police officer is again making headlines after body camera video was obtained, showing someone interacting with Seattle firefighters. 

    The backstory:

    The fire department said the incident happened in mid-June while firefighters were responding to a call off of 3rd Avenue.

    Bremerton Police believe the body camera video may have been taken by Michael Scaletta-Teates. It was obtained as they were investigating a case in Kitsap County. 

    In it, you can see someone walking towards a scene manned by Seattle Fire. The video shows a man approaching Seattle firefighters as they responded to a man who was found dead in a vehicle.

    You can also hear a man in the video tell people to step away from the body in the car before the back hatch on the vehicle closes.

    The video was taken just under three months before Bremerton Police arrested Scaletta-Teates for impersonating an Edmonds police officer in Kitsap County. 

    They say he showed up at a “police scene” in an unmarked Ford Explorer with blue police lights, identifying himself as an off-duty Edmonds police detective while wearing an Edmonds Police badge.

    Investigators in that case later said they found he was a convicted felon who’d been running security for a nearby business while committing “law enforcement acts.”

    “These people are not helpful for law enforcement at all,” said Jim Fuda, director of Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound. 

    He says the allegations in the Bremerton case are concerning. 

    “When you have someone out there impersonating, driving a car with blue lights on it, it’s a class C felony right there. That forces a lack of trust in the police,” said Fuda.

    Scaletta’s trial in Kitsap County is scheduled for November.

    What they’re saying:

    FOX 13 reached out to Seattle Fire about the incident in downtown Seattle. Spokesperson Kristin Hanson sent out a statement, saying;

    “Seattle firefighters observed a person dressed as a security guard on scene at an incident that occurred on June 17, 2025 in the 1900 block of 3rd Ave. 

    “The response was for an adult male found in a vehicle who was pronounced deceased on scene. 

    “This individual did not inform or have any impact on decisions made by Seattle Fire personnel regarding the care of the patient; the scene was turned over to the Seattle Police Department.”

    FOX 13 also reached out to Seattle Police to ask if they were investigating. They said the man was not at the scene when they arrived. 

    “He had above and beyond, wearing equipment, more equipment than I had when I was working for the sheriff’s office,” said Fuda. 

    If you are pulled over or approached by someone who doesn’t appear to be an officer, Fuda says to check their ID and to call law enforcement or 911 to ask if they have an officer in the area.

  • Seattleites paying 53% above the US average for gas

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – As gas prices across the U.S. continue to fall, Seattle drivers are now having to pay more than 50% above the national average for gasoline.

    By the numbers:

    According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of gas is $3.066. Washington’s average, however, is $4.388 per gallon.

    The price gets higher in the Seattle metro area though, with a gallon of regular costing $4.648 on average between Seattle, Bellevue and Everett. It’s even pricier in King County alone, sitting at $4.732 per gallon.

    Some Seattleites are paying as much as 53% above the U.S. norm for gas, AAA says.

    The other side:

    This comes as the national gas average continues to creep downward, approaching $3 a gallon for the first time in four years. Several factors are behind the drop, including lower demand, cheaper crude oil prices and less-expensive winter-blend gasoline at the pump.

    Compared to a year ago, the national average for gas was at $3.163 per gallon, while Washington’s was at $4.068, a statewide difference of 32 cents.

    Cheapest vs. most expensive

    Believe it or not, King County actually doesn’t have the highest average gas prices in Washington, as Wahkiakum County is charging an average of $4.949 per gallon.

    The cheapest gallon of gas can be found in the southeastern-most part of the state, with Asotin County’s average sitting at $3.782 per gallon.

  • Tukwila, WA grocery store turns into nightclub for Filipino American History Month

    [ad_1]

    TUKWILA, Wash. – Picture this: people of all ages dancing, a DJ spinning tracks, and a packed dance floor, but this isn’t happening at a nightclub, it’s happening at a grocery store.

    Videos showing just that have been circulating across social media. From Seafood City stores in the Bay Area to LA, Las Vegas and now Seattle. This late-night madness was all in honor of Filipino American History Month.

    What they’re saying:

    “It was beautiful to see all my people come together and rejoice together,” Kid Steez, a social media content creator said. He captured video of the celebration and shared it on TikTok.

    “I was in awe at some moments, and I was thinking, ‘dang all my peoples are here in one spot just having fun’,” Steez said.

    He also brought his friend Yackub Abdi who goes by ‘Y2K’. “We’re all having fun hitting the Dougie and then I look over on the right side and I see groceries, it’s like two worlds collided,” Y2K said.

    The backstory:

    This all started with the opening of Seafood City’s newest store in Daly City, California, Patricia Francisco, Director of Digital Marketing and Events at Seafood City told FOX 13. She said from there the celebrations grew.

    “It became a full family affair,” Francisco said. It’s now a space to introduce Filipino food and culture. “You can enter the event alone and come out of it with a brand-new family and a group of friends,” Francisco said.

    It’s also a place to build community. “Building community…not only our customers in Tukwila, but outside like Bellevue…all the places here are welcome,” Aldwin Cabusao, Seafood City store manager said.

    Seafood City told FOX 13, it plans on having another ‘Late Night Madness’ celebration next month.

    “At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if a person is of a different descent when we all come together, we can all have fun in a safe space and this time it happened to be at a grocery store,” Y2K said.

  • Seattle WHL team unveils new uniforms ahead inaugural season

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – The WHL Seattle hockey team has unveiled its new uniforms in preparation for its inaugural season, set to begin in November. The Tuesday announcement pointed to the Seattle-landscape inspired design.

    Team members say the uniforms are meant to reflect what western Washingtonians see around them, including dark green, blue, and cream. This design choice lines the team up with other local franchises like the Seahawks and Mariners, which also incorporate green and blues into their branding.

    Team members Hilary Knight and Corinne Schroeder presented the new uniforms in the FOX 13 studio. While the team’s name has not yet been announced, the players expressed anticipation for the upcoming season and the opportunity to represent Seattle starting just over a month from now.

    The team is drawing inspiration from the original six NHL teams, who also displayed diagonal lettering across the sweater design, with plans to build a strong identity and connection with the local community.

    As the players prepare for the season, they say they’re focusing on team cohesion, bringing together talent from various regions.

    The WHL Seattle team is set to begin its season on November 28 at Climate Pledge Arena, with the goal of establishing a successful presence in the hockey world.

  • Food influencer highlights hidden gem restaurants in Seattle

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – Pax Leatherman is highlighting under-the-radar restaurants in Seattle with his social media accounts “Palate Provisions.”

    Leatherman, a former real estate agent, walked away from his steady paycheck to pursue his passion.

    Heading out at the beginning of the year, Leatherman has gained thousands of followers in just a few months.

    Leatherman found his niche, standing out among a sea of food influencers, by highlighting the restaurants that most might pass by daily, but never visit.

    What they’re saying:

    “There are so many mom-and-pop [stores] right now that are struggling with a million different things,” Leatherman said. “It was just kind of cool to be able to help out these restaurants if they make great food and have a great product.”

    Some of Leatherman’s videos on his account have garnered hundreds of thousands of views, and hundreds of comments. Leatherman tells FOX 13 Seattle that restaurants tell him they have seen a massive bump in sales since his videos. He also says a lot of people are reaching out to him about where he should try next, including local restaurants, even offering him food or money.

    However, Leatherman said he never takes money from any of the businesses he reviews and always pays for his food. 

    “I just say, “thank you so much for seeing my value as a creator and seeing what I’m worth but I cannot take monetary compensation for any of this,’” said Leatherman.  “I don’t want to be that guy who’s going to wherever he’s pushed to,” he added.

    Local perspective:

    Leatherman has created a few iconic elements to his videos to also make him stand out among a sea of creators, including his greetings: “What’s up, big dogs.”

    “That was something I started saying so long ago. I want to say, probably more than five or six, or years ago. I did in real estate too. I just love saying something off kilter,” he said.

    Also, his “dank” food ranking scale may be confusing depending on which generation you grew up in.

    “My parents are like, ‘Dank is bad. Dank is like wretched, gross,’” he said. “But because I skied all the time in Oregon, everything was ‘dank.’ I loved that skater culture at that time. So, this is dank, so we’ve always been saying it.”

    His last Seattle review was shot at Bau 9 Thai in the Columbia City neighborhood. From this point, Leatherman hopes to keep his food reviews moving across the country.

    To keep up with Leatherman’s food journey, you can follow him on TikTok and Instagram under his handle: @PalateProvisions

  • Mariners, Jays fans battle it out with bean bags before ALCS Game 4 in Seattle

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – It was another tough day for the Seattle Mariners, but the fans made the most of the day.

    Outside Victory Hall, there was some friendly competition underway as the Jays and the Mariners fans squared off in an epic contest of their own.  

    “Seattle fans, we are better,” said Carter Langum, a Mariners fan.  

    Mariners and Blue Jays fans took each other on in a game at Victory Hall that echoed the rivalry next door at T-Mobile Park.  

    “I think we are more confident,” said Darwin Nicholas, Blue Jays fan. “We’ll give a good shot. Yeah yeah, just like the Blue Jays we’re going to  give it a good shot.”

    Mariners Blue Jays cornhole

    “I think we’ve got this one handled.  We gave them a bit of confidence last night, but we are here to smack them down right now,” said Jayson Langum, a Mariners fan.

    Travis and Darwin’s team hailed from Kelowna, Canada, and father and son, Jayson and Carter, from Arlington, Washington.  

    “I think we got them. Just like tonight,” said Travis Todevic, a Blue Jays fan. “Fighting words. Oh yeah, yeah, dukes are up, elbows up. 

    “We won the first two, and they won this. We’ll see if we can get one back tonight,” said Carter. “Oh yeah,we’ll get it done.”  

    Other Mariners fans Thursday were also hoping that in game 4 the Blue Jays would fall apart.  

    “It’s time for us to step up and seize the moment today,” said Johnny Leppell, dad and Mariners fan.

    Midway through the bean bag toss, the Jays fans did their best, but in the end, the Seattle Mariners fans won the bean bag competition.  

    “We’re hitting so it’s good,” said Carter. 

    Fans we talked to said it was fun to see people having a good time together despite the team they cheer for. 

    As for the baseball game itself, Seattle fans are hoping the Mariners get their mojo back before game 5.

  • WA White River Bridge to reopen weeks ahead of schedule after emergency repairs

    [ad_1]

    ENUMCLAW, Wash. – The State Route 410 White River Bridge connecting Enumclaw and Buckley will reopen weeks ahead of schedule after being closed since August due to structural damage caused by an over-height truck.

    Gov. Bob Ferguson announced the early reopening Wednesday alongside Washington State Department of Transportation Secretary Julie Meredith, local officials, and community leaders.

    The bridge, a key link between King and Pierce counties east of Tacoma, is expected to reopen to full, two-way traffic between 5 p.m. and midnight Friday.

    What they’re saying:

    “We made a commitment to reopen this bridge as quickly as possible,” Ferguson said. “Thanks to the hard work of our crews, engineers and contractors seven days a week we’re opening weeks ahead of schedule. People just want government to work. Together we can move fast and solve big problems.”

    Meredith said the department’s focus was on completing the project both safely and swiftly.

    “From day one, our commitment was clear: do the work right and restore this link as quickly and safely as possible,” she said.

    Emergency repairs followed August bridge strike

    The backstory:

    The bridge has been closed since Aug. 18, when a truck struck its frame, causing significant structural damage. Ferguson later declared an emergency in King and Pierce counties, allowing the state to expedite repairs and seek federal funds for reimbursement.

    Guy F. Atkinson Construction was awarded an emergency contract requiring crews to work seven days a week until completion.

    Enumclaw Mayor Jan Molinaro said the early reopening will allow the community to resume normal activities.

    “Our community can now return to normal activities that include life, work and the economics of our city,” Molinaro said. “The reopening of the bridge so early will provide everyone with this opportunity.”

    Buckley Mayor Beau Burkett also praised the coordinated effort.

    “The recent emergency repair was handled with exceptional efficiency and timeliness,” Burkett said. “Your coordinated efforts under challenging circumstances are commendable, and your dedication to restoring service swiftly has not gone unnoticed.”

    Local, regional impact

    Local perspective:

    The closure had ripple effects throughout the region, especially after a nearby bridge on State Route 169 between Enumclaw and Black Diamond closed in September for emergency repairs. That bridge reopened Oct. 13 after crews replaced worn girders.

    King County Council Vice Chair Reagan Dunn, who represents District 9, said the SR 410 bridge’s closure had caused major disruptions for families, businesses, and first responders who rely on it for nearly 22,000 daily trips.

    “Governor Ferguson’s lightning quick response was remarkable — I’ve rarely seen government move this fast and decisively, and it came at the right moment,” Dunn said.

    SR 410 White River Bridge Reopening Friday

    Governor Bob Ferguson, alongside WSDOT leaders and local elected officials, announced the official reopening date for the critical State Route 410 White River Bridge, which connects Buckley and Enumclaw. The bridge will reopen Friday between 5pm and midnight.

    Loan assistance available for affected businesses

    What you can do:

    The U.S. Small Business Administration recently approved Ferguson’s request for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan declaration, allowing small businesses and nonprofits affected by the closure to apply for low-interest loans.

    The declaration covers King, Pierce, Chelan, Kitsap, Kittitas, Lewis, Mason, Snohomish, Thurston, and Yakima counties.

    Businesses can apply online through the MySBA Loan Portal or contact the agency’s disaster assistance center by email at disastercustomerservice@sba.gov or by phone at 1-800-659-2955.

  • Fans spend hump day cheering for Mariners on home turf for ALCS Game 3

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – With ALCS Game 3 against Toronto falling on a Wednesday, many fans took work and school off to try to help cheer the Seattle Mariners over the hump of the 7-game series. 

    What better way to get past the mid-point of the week by attending a watch party for the Mariners instead? 

    “So excited, two wins away!,” said one fan. 

    “It’s so fun in here. It’s electrically loud. It brings the whole city together,” said Shauna Chernicoff. 

    Fans spent hump day at Victory Hall, cheering on the team as they played across the street at T-Mobile Park.  

    “You can’t get better than a dumper day on hump day,” said Eric Ellsperman.

    Before the game, fans hit the beanbag toss in Mariner’s colors. 

    “We are playing against our grandparents. We are going to crush them anyway,” said Cameron Chernicoff.

    “I got to skip school, so I’m like ‘yeah,’ and I really want to see the Mariners play in the playoffs,” said Dylan Chernicoff.

    Fans say hump day is also best celebrated with Humpy the salmon.

    “Humpy on hump day helps,” said Ellsperman, a Humpy the salmon fan.

    The fish is a symbol of perseverance, after taking home a first ever win in the salmon run during Game 5 against the Tigers.  

    “He’s my favorite, he finally won,” said Chernicoff.

    “The big win, let’s hope for another Humpy day tonight, that might tip the scales, the scales—oh!,” said Darcy Ellsperman. 

    Cheers early on turned into a roller coaster of emotions Wednesday.  Ultimately, the downhill run fans hoped for mid-week wasn’t quite meant to be in Game 3. 

    The Mariners are set to take on the Blue Jays in Game 4 of the ALCS on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

  • Seattle to hold ‘Humpy Day’ rally, march celebrating Mariners postseason run

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – A special event is planned in Seattle ahead of the Mariners’ Game 4 of the American League Championship Series versus the Toronto Blue Jays.

    Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell plans to proclaim Thursday, October 16 as “Humpy Day” in honor of Humpy the salmon, and will hold a community rally and march to T-Mobile Park.

    The day dedicated to Humpy comes after the beloved underdog mascot finally secured a victory in the Mariners’ in-game “Salmon Run.” It came just before the team’s historic extra-innings Game 5 win against the Detroit Tigers in Game 5 of the AL Division Series. 

    It begins at Seattle City Hall at 2 p.m. with a brief speaking program before the University of Washington Marching Band leads the crowd to the ballpark.

    “Seattle is all in. Our city is standing behind the Mariners and ready for this historic run. From the team’s incredible performance and continued victories to Humpy’s unforgettable win, we’ve seen how this team brings people together,” said Mayor Bruce Harrell. “Thursday’s rally is our chance to keep that momentum going — to show our pride, celebrate our city, and Seize the Moment together.”

    The Seattle community is encouraged to come together and “Seize the Moment,” celebrating the Mariners ahead of Game 4 of the ALCS.

    The event will be hosted by the City of Seattle, Seattle Sports Commission, and Downtown Seattle Association, and features Seattle community and sports leaders.

  • Seattle city council approves public safety sales tax increase

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – Buying anything next year will cost you more in Seattle. The Seattle City Council approved a 0.1% public safety sales tax on Tuesday.

    The bill passed with all councilmembers voting in favor of it, but one. The sales tax increase stems from a new state law that was passed during the 2025 legislative session.

    Seattle City Council President Sara Nelson told FOX 13 Seattle that the intention is to use it for costs associated with public safety, which could include treatment of substance abuse disorders, homelessness, and staffing first responders.

    By the numbers:

    Projections show the city could bring in almost $40 million in 2026 from that increase, but some have pointed out how high Seattle’s sale tax already is and the impact it will have on low-income residents.

    Here’s how Seattle’s 10.35% compares to other major cities across the country:

    • New York City: 8.88%
    • Boston: 6.25%
    • Chicago: 10.25%
    • San Francisco: 8.63%

    What they’re saying:

    FOX 13 Seattle asked Nelson what she would say to folks who say Seattle’s sales tax is already too high.

    “Increasing an already regressive tax is not my first choice it’s probably the last choice, but we have such gaping holes in our response to the fentanyl epidemic and to the need for treatment this year and I believe it’s worth it. This is not about taxing working families, this is about ending the cycle of homelessness, of overdoses, of violence associated with the drug trade,” Sara Nelson, City Council President said.

    She went on to say, she believes this increase is worth the cost and will save lives.

    Nelson adds Tuesday’s vote was to authorize this new increase in the sales tax. How that money is spent is up to the council during the budget deliberations.

  • Seattle dog daycare employee charged with animal cruelty

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – King County prosecutors have charged 20-year-old Dejean Bowens with first-degree animal cruelty. He pleaded not guilty in court on Monday.

    The backstory:

    Seattle Police say he was working overnight at the Lazy Dog Crazy Dog kennel in Ballard on August 3 when he became irritable with a black lab named Mitch who had knocked something over.

    Detectives say he brutally kicked Mitch at about 4 a.m. The dog cried out and whimpered after it was kicked and sought escape under a table. Bowens then continued to punch the dog, Mitch whimpered, and his abdomen filled with blood. He became mentally dull and eventually would not respond at all.

    Police say Bowens waited an hour and 45 minutes until 5:45 a.m. before bringing Mitch to Emerald City Emergency Clinic. The emergency vet clinic found that Mitch’s kidneys may have been ruptured during the assault. They attempted to revive Mitch five times with CPR but were unsuccessful, and Mitch ultimately died. They said if Mitch was brought in immediately after the assault he would have had a higher chance of survival.

    Mitch’s owner had dropped him off at Lazy Dog Crazy Dog the evening before she gave birth to her first child. She and her husband were supposed to pick him up on the morning of Aug. 3, but they got a call from the clinic instead. They had been taking Mitch to Lazy Dog Crazy Dog for several years with no problems.

    When officers questioned employees at Lazy Dog Crazy Dog, one of them said that Bowens had called them at 4:40 a.m. crying, saying, “I messed up bad. I’m freaking out. Can you get down here now?” The employee asked what happened, and he said, “I kicked the dog”. Court documents say Bowens and his brother then loaded the dog into a silver sedan and left.

    Bowens remains free from custody. His next court hearing is a routine pre-trial hearing on November 26th at 1 p.m.

    What they’re saying:

    Stephen Biles, the owner of Lazy Dog Crazy Dog, released this statement:

    “Dear Lazy Dog Customers:

    “On August 3, our former night person physically abused one of our boarding dogs to the point where he passed away a few hours later. The employee was terminated immediately, and we began working with the police immediately.

    “We are heartbroken and outraged by this crime. We have been working actively with law enforcement to ensure that justice is served for this dog. Now that this ex-employee has been charged, we want to share with our community the steps we take to ensure safety of dogs in our care.

    “First, we understand the immense responsibility entrusted to us when caring for the dogs in our facility, and we take that duty very seriously. All of us have dogs ourselves. We work here because we love dogs.

    “We operate cage-free 24 hours a day. That is a unique and different philosophy. Our customers tell us that this is what they want. We care for dogs as family members in a safe, open, loving environment.

    “That means that dogs are always with other dogs and with humans, so training and education are ongoing priorities for our team.

    “Every new staff member completes an intensive internal training program focused on dog behavior, safe handling techniques, and care standard, a program developed by a well-respected dog behaviorist.

    “Beyond this, we ensure our staff are prepared for emergency situations by providing CPR and Pet First Aid certification opportunities. As employees grow within our organization,
    they receive additional training tailored to their roles, as well as ongoing performance evaluations to uphold our standards of safety and care.

    “We are actively reviewing our hiring and training processes to identify any areas for improvement. Our facilities have cameras, so dogs are on film all the time, and employees are aware of this. We are working towards making our overnight cameras available to
    customers. While we stay committed to strengthening our safeguards, we also recognize that we cannot always foresee or prevent the independent, unacceptable actions of any
    individual.

    “The actions of this former employee are in complete violation of our values, our mission, and the standard of care we have upheld for over 16 years while serving tens of thousands of dogs. We will continue to support law enforcement and hope that justice is
    served for the dog.

    “We appreciate that you might have questions, and we are happy to answer them. We want you to be confident in our care, and we welcome the opportunity to talk further.”

  • ‘Party animals’ cheer Seattle Mariners to victory over Blue Jays in ALCS Game 2

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – Victory Hall was packed again Monday with Mariners fans watching ALCS Game 2, many turning into “party animals” after the win against the Toronto Blue Jays.  

    The crowd got in touch with their animal nature while cheering on the team. 

    “It’s gone to the dogs absolutely,” said Ande Edlund, the owner of Chase the dog.

    Chase is a regular at Bark in the Park.

    “Chase loves Mariners games. He’s best friends with the Mariners Moose. He just met Humpy for the first time today,” said Edlund.

    Chase the dog

    Humpy left his first meeting with Chase a little worse for wear.

    “He actually grabbed one of the water wings to try to get a souvenir,” said Edlund.

    Chase the dog

    At Victory Hall, it was All Paws on Deck for cat lovers too, especially Matilda fans.

    “I think she is great. She helps with games and everything,” said Nat, a fan of Matilda the cat.

    Matlida the cat

    The Persian belonging to Andres Munoz has become a hit in her own right. We talked to many people that believe she may even possess some special “paw-ers”.

    “Does Matilda have the power to win inside of Matilda?” asked Mark Paschal, to his daughter Rosa. “I think that Matilda helps. Cats don’t really focus on the past, only the present.” 

    The moose was also loose in the crowd. 

    “This is a lucky moose, maybe. Half the games I’ve won with the moose on, half of the games not,” said Kevin Gangi, who was wearing a Mariners moose on his hat brim.

    Fans also sported their walrus mustaches for good luck. 

    “We were in a slump earlier in the season and one of the players, so one of the players said, let’s all just stash up so we can do something different, and we’ve been winning ever since,” said Theresa Cardamone, who was wearing a mustache Monday. 

    Fans react to Mariners ALCS Game 2

    With the fans and players running on animal instinct, the crowd went wild after the Mariners brought home another win Monday. 

    The owners of Victory Hall plan to expand their outdoor space and beer garden for ALCS Game 3, when the Mariners are back home in T-Mobile Park to face off again against the Blue Jays.

  • Major Pacific Northwest earthquake could trigger another along West Coast

    [ad_1]

    “The Big One” could trigger larger earthquake along West Coast

    Most of us have probably heard that when it comes to earthquakes, “The Big One” could happen at any time, but a new study has now found that if the “big one” happens in the Pacific Northwest, it could trigger an even bigger one and affect cities up and down the West Coast.

    SEATTLE – Most of us have probably heard that when it comes to earthquakes, “The Big One” could happen at any time, but a new study has now found that if the “big one” happens in the Pacific Northwest, it could trigger an even bigger one and affect cities up and down the West Coast.

    The backstory:

    In 2001, the 6.8 magnitude Nisqually earthquake toppled parts of buildings, left 400 people hurt and caused billions of dollars in widespread damage. That earthquake serves as a stark reminder that another earthquake like this, perhaps bigger, is still looming. 

    Nisqually earthquake damage

    “This is essentially a certainty, and how we respond to it is the only part that’s uncertain,” said Dr. Chris Goldfinger, geologist and the lead author and principal investigator of a 2025 study.

    What they’re saying:

    That study found if a major earthquake happened on the Cascadia subduction zone, that would trigger San Andreas Fault to go off a short time later.

    “We discovered that the earthquake deposits near where the two faults meet at Cape Mendocino were stacked basically directly on top of each other, with apparently no intervening time passing between the two events,” Goldfinger said.

    Cancadia subduction zone and San Andreas Fault

    He shared a video with FOX 13 showing the sequence of Cascadia earthquakes from the past 10,000 years. It also shows San Andreas earthquakes going off. He told FOX 13, it’s not a matter of if a big one will happen, but when.

    So, what is considered a big earthquake?

    “If you want to think of it as t-shirt sizes, from extra-large, which might be a 9.1 or 9.2 is where we think the maximum is, down to magnitude-7 earthquakes,” Goldfinger said. 

    He explained those earthquakes would affect Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, and San Francisco, cities up and down the coast.

    West Coast cities affected by "The Big One" earthquake

    Local perspective:

    These findings come as the Great Shakeout happens on Thursday, October 16. It’s a time when millions of people worldwide practice earthquake drills at work, school and home.

    Despite drills like these, Goldfinger says we’re still not prepared because many of these areas were built on top of ticking time bombs.

    “We have very, very fragile infrastructure in most of our towns and cities,” Goldfinger said. “So, we have a lot of unreinforced masonry buildings, lift-slab concrete buildings that pancake in an earthquake and things like that, and the progress to replacing those and retrofitting those is very, very slow, and, you know, this is a long term, expensive process.”

    In the meantime, he told FOX 13 that there are some things people can do now to get their home earthquake ready. For example, if you have a gas hot water heater, he said make sure those are strapped down so they don’t tip over and break a gas line, which could start a fire during an earthquake. 

    “Go around your house and start thinking about ‘what would my house be like in an earthquake?’” Goldfinger said. He also recommends surveying tall, heavy items in your home that could tip over, and make sure your home is bolted to the foundation, because there are a lot of older homes that are not.

    “You don’t want your house to slide off of the foundation during the earthquake, that’s going to total it probably,” he said.

  • Seattle Mariners fans celebrate ALCS Game 1 victory

    [ad_1]

    SEATTLE – If Sundays are for praying, the fans at Victory Hall definitely did some of their own Sunday evening as they watched the Seattle Mariners take on the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 of the ALCS series.

    “We’re going to pull it out for sure.  It’s going to be tight, but we got it, I believe,” said Tiffany, Mariners fan. 

    The Trident traveled through the crowd.  

    “It’s a lot heavier than you think.  I can’t believe they let them take it. It’s a lot bigger in person,” said Jacob, another fan.

    The Hall was packed with hundreds of the Mariners faithful.  

    “Worth it to fly here. It is 100% worth it to be here with these people,” said Everett, a fan from Spokane. 

    Everett said he flew to Seattle to attend the watch party at Victory Hall with his family. 

    “It’s been great. I’m happy to be here,” said Everett.  “I’m 22, born in 2003. This is the first time the Mariners made the ALCS in my lifetime.  I’m so happy about everything they accomplished.”

    Humpy the Salmon mascot joined in the chorus of praise when the Mariners got on the board Sunday night.   

    The fish is fresh off a win of his own after the pink salmon managed his first win in the Salmon run foot race in ALDS Game 5 against the Tigers in the 15th inning. 

    Some also put their faith in the power of the cloth, like Jacob Nestegard. 

    “Every time I’ve won these Mariners shorts they’ve won a playoff game,” said Nestegard.

    His shorts are pictured below.
