Salt Lake City Gen Zers Are Moving To This Pacific Northwest Haven Known As 'Mother Nature's City'

Salt Lake City may be among the most popular metro areas for Gen Zers who want large homes, high-paying jobs, and plenty of outdoor adventures. But young adults born between 1997 and 2012 aren't afraid to cross state lines in search of new places to call home. In fact, they're doing it more than any other generation. And according to U-Haul's 2026 Midyear Migration Trends report, many of them are making the 13-hour drive straight to Seattle, Washington. For nature lovers, this Pacific Northwest haven offers a similar combination of bustling city life and the great outdoors.

Watch the site work video to see the progress. This January, construction gets underway on the Townhomes – 20 long-term affordable rental homes – with completion expected by the end of 2027.

It's been a mild fall in Whatcom County. That's about to change

Get set for a wet and windy weekend, along with a few power outages and coastal flooding, as storms are lining up to batter Western Washington after a drier than normal October. Gusty south winds will increase late Thursday into Friday, with the strongest breezes from Everett northward, National Weather Service meteorologist Jacob DeFlitch said Tuesday in the online forecast discussion. ”Due to continued foliage on the trees, localized power outages may be possible during this period. Snow levels remain higher Friday into Sunday, mainly 5,000 to 8,000 feet, for high-elevation mountain snowfall. Furthermore, seas rise towards 15 to 20 feet Friday, and will need to monitor high surf concerns along the coast,” DeFlitch said. A wind advisory issued for 4 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday calls for south winds at 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 50 mph for western Whatcom County. About a half-inch to an inch of rain is possible through Friday night in the lowlands, with heavy rain Friday and again Saturday night into Sunday as a second storm arrives. “Moderate to heavy rain may lead to roadway ponding and minor nuisance flooding of poor drainage areas, creating difficult commute conditions,” the National Weather Service

Seattle council eyes over $50M in one-time add-ons despite budget hole

(The Center Square) - Despite ongoing deficits, the Seattle City Council is considering $55.5 million in net additions to Mayor Katie Wilson’s 2027-28 budget proposal amid a $175 million general fund hole.​ Wilson’s first budget proposes various measures to reduce the structural deficit to roughly $23 million, with minor recurring deficits in 2028 and 2029, while relying on available fund balances to fill the rest. The council spent the last few weeks considering changes to Wilson’s plan before Councilmember Dan Strauss, the budget chair, released his “balancing package” Tuesday. Staff presented the amendments to the entire council on Wednesday, with any remaining “self-balanced amendments” due by Monday.​ The Select Budget Committee will hold a hearing Thursday to consider feedback on the package. “The mayor's proposed budget unnecessarily took austere measures to balance the budget,” Strauss said Wednesday, referring to budget transfers, offsets and service reductions, such as cutting vacant public safety-related positions and reducing fire overtime. “There was no new funding of any kind.”​ He said the council could use revenue from the county’s recent sales tax increase, improved forecasts, an off-cycle JumpStart payroll-tax payment and reduced reserve contributions. The net general fund addition is about $55.5 million, based on
