White Employee’s Hostile Work Environment Claim Arising From City’s Race-Based DEI Programming Is Revived

Diemert v. City of Seattle , 2026 WL 2903699 (9th Cir. 2026) Joshua Diemert, a white man who worked in the City of Seattle’s Human Services Department, challenged the City’s Race and Social Justice Initiative, which required employees to participate in racial justice trainings and events, some of which were limited to employees of particular races; the Initiative also sponsored racially-aligned affinity groups or caucuses. Diemert alleged that the Initiative, together with a series of offensive remarks from coworkers and supervisors, created a racially hostile work environment. After Diemert resigned, he sued the City for violation of the Equal Protection Clause, hostile work environment, constructive discharge, disparate treatment, and retaliation under Title VII and the Washington Law Against Discrimination. The district court granted summary judgment to the City on all claims. The Ninth Circuit reversed as to the hostile work environment claims, holding that the workplace incidents at issue were “sufficiently numerous, frequent, and severe” to create a triable issue of fact. However, the Court affirmed summary judgment on the constructive discharge, disparate treatment, and retaliation claims, and it affirmed dismissal of the equal protection claim on the ground that Diemert lacked Article III standing because he failed to show

When will Western Washington see its first frost this fall? What forecasters say

It’s getting colder in Washington state. As temperatures drop, you could start seeing small ice crystals forming on leaves, grass and roads. When can Western Washington residents expect to see frost covering the ground this fall? How long will frosty temperatures last, and how can you protect your plants and plumbing from the chill? Here’s what the experts say: When will we see the first frost in Washington state? When you can expect to see frost in 2026 depends on where you live in Washington state , according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac . The almanac looked at likely dates for the first and last frosts of the season , based on its long-range weather forecasts as well as historical frost averages. In much of Western Washington, frost timing should be “close to the historical average ,” the almanac said, while the last spring frost is expected roughly a week or two later than usual in Central and Eastern Washington. Even “modest” shifts in frost timing can “make a meaningful difference when you’re deciding when to sow early crops, set out seedlings or keep frost protection handy,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac said. The almanac predicted Bellingham would see its first

Seattle council upholds mayor’s veto on homeless RV permitting

(The Center Square) - The Seattle City Council rejected a vote on Thursday to override a mayoral veto of an RV permitting system for homeless individuals that the dais had passed just a few weeks earlier. Councilmember Rob Saka joined Councilmembers Alexis Mercedes Rinck, Eddie Lin and Dionne Foster in opposing the override after voting for the bill last month. Mayor Katie Wilson vetoed Councilmember Dan Strauss’ program last week with Saka’s support despite his criticism of her proposed budget cuts. When asked Tuesday why they were holding the vote, Rinck said the council believed it must act on a veto within 30 days under the city charter, regardless of the outcome. Councilmember Bob Kettle, the public safety chair, argued Thursday that they must address the impact of RVs on the community. “Voting to sustain the veto is voting for the status quo; it's voting to plan for a plan, and a vote to delay taking action,” Strauss said before the override failed to meet the required six-vote threshold. The bill Wilson vetoed was just one of six that made up Strauss’ Vehicle Resident Assistance Program. Wilson signed the other parts of VRAP, but the one she rejected included most

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
