Forest Service Shake-Up: The Trump administration is moving fast on sweeping changes to the U.S. Forest Service—closing nearly all regional offices and cutting the research budget—sparking a fresh fight over whether public lands will be protected. World Cup Travel Surge: With the 2026 FIFA World Cup starting June 11, U.S. Customs is ramping up travel authorizations for qualified nations, as millions of visitors are expected to pour in. Tourism Reality Check: Even with World Cup hype, international travel to the U.S. is still down, and Brand USA is pushing back on lingering concerns and outdated info. Puget Sound Low Tides: Western Washington gets a rare marine-life viewing window as tides dip to around -4 feet Monday through Wednesday—Alki, Carkeek, Lincoln Park, and Golden Gardens are top picks. Local Build & Music: Buckley breaks ground on a community pump track while Seattle’s Concert Truck returns with free chamber music stops in West Seattle. Road & Fire Alerts: A long Sedgwick Road/SR 160 detour starts June 13, and a Loop Trail fire burned six acres near Highway 28.
