Keep your eye on the water this month. King tides and Kelvin waves are coming

In The Grateful Dead’s first Billboard Hot 100 single, “Uncle John’s Band,” Jerry Garcia famously sings, “Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide.” Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re no strangers to rising waters in the winter, with our king tides usually arriving in November and lasting through February. This year, there’s a bit more to talk about, though. King tides arrive this year on Nov. 23 and will stick around until Nov. 27. They reappear again on Dec. 22. NOAA is forecasting high tides up to 13 feet in the Puget Sound during November’s king tides. In addition to marking the arrival of Washington’s king tides, November is also our stormiest month. Forecasters are calling this week’s weather a “ storm train ,” with atmospheric rivers converging over Western Washington to bring multiple days of gusty winds and smattering rain. Nov. 8 saw huge waves bashing Washington’s coastline as a weekend windstorm knocked the power out for over 100,000 customers across Western Washington. When high winds and waves sync up with king tides, much of Washington, from the coast to the inland waters of Puget Sound, has to prepare for rising waters (think levees, bulkheads

America keeps funding homelessness instead of ending it | Opinion

Imagine calling the fire department as your home burns, only to discover the firefighters have been pouring gasoline on the flames. Worse, they demand ever-larger budgets, congratulate themselves for responding to more fires and insist that questioning their effectiveness threatens public safety. Welcome to America's "Homeless Industrial Complex." Recent revelations from Seattle and New York show just how disturbing it has become. In Seattle, an independent financial review uncovered a staggering $16.7 million shortfall at the King County Regional Homelessness Authority, following years of financial mismanagement. The agency spent money it never earned, accumulated debt and incurred millions in interest expenses. Meanwhile, its CEO and her deputy earn more than $600,000 combined annually . Now Seattle and King County taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill . Across the country, an Oct. 31 New York Post investigation revealed that state Attorney General Letitia James' office has taken no enforcement action against three major homeless shelter operators despite serious findings against them by government watchdogs. Meanwhile, executives, lobbyists and associates connected to those operators contributed more than $56,000 to her political campaigns. Among the reported findings: One operator overbilled taxpayers more than $566,000; another faced scrutiny over insider transactions and

King County Shrinks Vashon Septic Inspection Zone From 1,300 Parcels to Just 75 Properties

King County has dramatically scaled back a proposal that would have required septic inspections on roughly 1,300 waterfront parcels on Vashon Island, narrowing the plan to about 75 properties clustered along isolated shoreline stretches. County officials say the smaller zone can still satisfy the minimum requirements of state law while sparing hundreds of homeowners from new inspection mandates.

7 dishes from the year of Seattle's 1962 World's Fair, from alder-smoked salmon to glazed char siu

The Century 21 Exposition opened April 21, 1962, on a 74-acre site in Seattle, and the Space Needle had gone up from groundbreaking to finished tower in about a year so it would be ready for opening day. Nearly ten million visitors came through before the gates closed on October 21. The food that got the most attention was the Belgian waffle, which Walter Cleyman served with strawberries and whipped cream at two stands, selling more than half a million of them over six months.

Washington Football Facing Must-Win Game With Trip to Michigan State

Ahead of their first trip to East Lansing as members of the Big Ten, Washington will face some serious pressure to come out on top over the 3-6 Michigan State Spartans. A win for the Huskies doesn't exactly tip the scales on what has been a disappointing season, but suffering their fifth loss of the season to a team with just one win in conference play could prove to have a major impact on the future of the program. Before taking a snap, Jedd Fisch's program entered the season as the No. 17-ranked team in the country in the preseason AP Poll. With College Football Playoff aspirations from those both within and outside the building, those hopes quickly drifted away. After narrowly escaping their first two games, including a 16-14 win over Utah State in Week Two, the Huskies dropped out of the top 25 and haven't been back since. Since beginning conference play, UW has lost four of six, three of which were at home. To fall short of expectations is one thing, but the fashion in which Washington has done it is concerning. The offense, led by second-year starter Demond Williams Jr. and an offensive line that once

A younger generation is giving new life to Seattle’s iconic floating homes

On Lake Union and Portage Bay, longtime floating home residents are moving on, and young families are taking their place. For many newcomers, the draw is as much the close-knit community as the uniqueness of the homes. Neighbors see each other daily, stopping to chat on shared docks, and that sense of community is part of the appeal. Inside, though, the homes are private and quiet, and docks are usually silent by 9 PM.
