Nobody Wants a McDonald’s in Chinatown

McDonald’s wants to put a new store in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID). Almost nobody thinks that’s a good idea. They are decidedly not loving it. Last night, about 80 CID residents and supporters packed the meeting of the International Special Review District (ISRD), the neighborhood’s historic preservation board. Impassioned public comments, handmade protest signs in Chinese and English, and several people in Ronald McDonald-esque clown masks injected the typically sleepy meeting with life.

Farmers fear another winter of flooding as questions surround Kent pump

It has been nearly a year since historic flooding inundated farms, homes, and SR 167 between Kent and Auburn . Residents in unincorporated King County are still rebuilding and questioning whether enough has been done to prevent it from happening again. Last December, floodwaters swept across farmland near the Green River, forcing some residents to evacuate themselves, animals and leaving behind there homes in the rising waters. Don Kramer and his wife’s business and property are still recovering. “We’re still not where we want to be all the way, but we’re a lot better than we were,” he said. Don estimates the flooding caused roughly $100,000 in damage. “I’m getting nervous as December gets closer,” he said. When water began rising last winter, Don told KIRO 7 his family scrambled to move their animals to higher ground. “We started having to make decisions on, ‘Oh, the pigs are shorter, so we got to get them out now because they’re going to drown,’ and pick the shortest animals first,” he said. Don said his property had never flooded like that before. He pointed to longtime plants around the home that were killed by the flood as another indication of just how

Burien rapper Travis Thompson talks storytelling, sobriety and the city that made him

I first caught Travis Thompson in 2017 during his set at Upstream, the music festival founded by the late Paul Allen. He’d just released his "Ambaum" mixtape, a nod to Burien, where he grew up and spent much of his life. Though he was still relatively young, he already knew how to connect with a crowd. I’ve seen him perform about a half a dozen times since, most recently at Bumbershoot, and he's still got that ability to connect.

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.

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
