Memorial Day travel pressure: Seattle-area drivers are still rolling despite record-high gas prices—AAA puts Washington’s average at about $5.78 a gallon, with millions expected to hit the road. Mount Rainier safety: The Wonderland Trail is partially closed near Paradise due to “unusual bear activity,” with NPS urging hikers to keep distance and avoid feeding wildlife. World Cup security & scams: Seattle is ramping up citywide FIFA World Cup security, including drone monitoring, while police warn visitors about a street scam that uses tap-to-pay and card readers to steal from tourists. Immigration ripple effects: New federal moves would require most green card applicants to file from their home countries, and DHS is again warning international flight processing could be disrupted at airports tied to “sanctuary” policies. Local travel upgrades: Sen. Maria Cantwell announced $82.1M in Washington airport grants, including major SEA improvements. Beach season rules: Seattle opened designated beach fire pits at Alki and Golden Gardens with strict first-come rules and hard shutdown times.
