Last update: 41 minutes ago

Memorial Day travel crunch: AAA expects a record 45M+ Americans to hit the road and skies this weekend, and WSDOT’s charts show the worst Washington jams on I-5 (Thursday/Friday/Monday, peak daytime) and I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass (Friday eastbound, Monday westbound). World Cup tourism tension: Hotels and the American Hotel & Lodging Association say FIFA’s big room blocks “manufactured artificial demand,” then cancellations left many host cities with empty rooms and pricing pressure—Seattle included. Ferries get pet-rule refresh: Washington State Ferries rolls out updated pet access for summer, with pets allowed on vehicle decks, outdoor passenger areas, and limited cabin zones—no galley or passenger seating. Puget Sound wildlife watch: Seattle Aquarium researchers say bluntnose sixgill sharks may be returning to the Salish Sea to give birth, with females possibly repeating the same birthing waters. Boeing scrutiny abroad: India plans to observe Boeing fuel-switch testing in Seattle tied to the Air India 787 incident.
