- Description
- A red sun rose over Seattle on Wednesday, embodying what looks to be an uncomfortable day — not only will the city see no relief from wildfire smoke for another day or so but the heat is ratcheting up.
An air quality alert from the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency has been extended through Thursday afternoon, warning of deteriorated air quality that could be unhealthy for sensitive groups, and at worst, unhealthy for the general public.
What is new, though, is a National Weather Service heat advisory issued Wednesday morning through Thursday evening warning that high temperatures pose a moderate risk of heat-related illness for anyone sensitive to heat, especially if they don’t have effective cooling or adequate hydration.

- The Old Trails fire’s spread Saturday was rapid, chaotic, with loud explosions heard through the smoke as it raced through neighborhoods, The Spokesman-Review reported. The newspaper’s images showed people fleeing, and flames tearing into homes. Investigators say they arrested a suspect accused of starting the fire.
It was one of three fires that sparked Saturday, surging into infernos within minutes. The high winds spewed embers, helping two of the fires to jump the Spokane River and rip through suburban neighborhoods in a matter of hours. More than 60,000 people were ordered to evacuate, and an estimated 700 structures, including homes, have been lost. No one has been reported killed or injured in the fires.

- The Tallac Hotshots crunched through the crispened berry bushes, their steps leaving a cloud of dust as they headed into the smoke for the leading edge of the fire late Monday afternoon. They were called here to pack in by foot and cut a fire break to help protect homes threatened by the Autumn Lane fire northwest of Spokane.
Radio chatter from nearby firefights called for additional engines. Hand crews were interspersed along the road, watching for hot spots. Heavier smoke began to pour into the neighborhood.
This was day three of the devastating Spokane area fires. Residents were grieving their neighborhoods and rallying to support each other after three blazes swept through communities, burning an estimated 700 structures and forcing thousands to evacuate. It could be some time before they can officially return home.

- Three wildfires on the edge of Spokane exploded into massive conflagrations over the weekend, forcing more than 60,000 people from their homes and scorching about 700 structures, catapulting the disaster into one of the most destructive in Washington’s history.
Thousands of people remained without power and those who have been pushed out of their homes must find new places to stay as the Autumn Lane, Fairview and Old Trails fires raged across an estimated 8,000 acres, or 12 square miles, on the northern edges of the county.
The cause of the fires remained under investigation. About 900 firefighters from all over the country rushed to beat down flames. Airplanes and helicopters roared overhead, on their way to drop water and chemicals or pick up more resources.

- Shellfish growers Nate Wight and Amber Taulbee should have been out on the tidelands this month harvesting Pacific oysters for grocery stores, restaurants and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
But Hood Canal, a pillar of the state’s shellfish economy, a popular draw for recreational harvesters and stewarded by Native people for millennia, has been closed to harvest all summer because of a potentially deadly biotoxin.
Scientists sounded the alarm in June when a survey at Hoodsport picked up microscopic Alexandrium catenella cells. When ingested by humans, the toxin produced by the alga can lead to paralytic shellfish poisoning, a severe illness that can be deadly. The biotoxin can’t be cooked or frozen out of shellfish.

- Filming the creature with her cellphone Monday night, Kiana Hall was certain of only one thing: the tiny beast skittering out from under a car in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood was definitely not a cat.
Smaller than a house cat and unusually round, the gray-furred creature loped on long legs across a patch of grass and up a nearby staircase before climbing over a fence and out of sight. Hall guessed it was a raccoon based on its mask-like facial markings. She also suspected it had short spine syndrome, a rare congenital disorder she had learned about online.
Hall published the video the next day on her Instagram, naming the creature “Jimothy” because, she said, “he looked like a Jimothy.”
Within hours, Hall’s video started going viral.

- Amid a growing backlash to artificial intelligence, Seattle City Council voted 9-0 on Tuesday to enact a one-year moratorium on new large data centers and study their impact.
Mayor Katie Wilson was quick to support a ban after proposals surfaced in April for five large data center projects in the city. She said she was looking forward to signing the council’s bill.
Seattle’s bill would place a one-year freeze on the development of large data centers that use more than 20 megavolt-amperes, roughly equivalent to 20 megawatts, with the option to extend the moratorium another six months. The city council also passed a separate bill Tuesday to analyze how data centers impact Seattle’s electrical grid capacity, water usage, utility rates, land use, local jobs and public health.

In the time it takes a well-trained runner to complete a marathon, Kearns, a guide for RMI Expeditions, hoofed it nearly 9,000 vertical feet to the summit of Mount Rainier and back. His breakneck pace set a new speed record for climbing Washington’s tallest peak on foot, as verified by Fastest Known Time.
Kearns sheared more than half an hour off the previous record, notched by Leavenworth-based athlete Alex King in 2021.

The 31-year-old turned himself in to the Bellevue Police Department around 10:20 p.m., said Seattle police spokesperson Brian Pritchard. Bellevue police then handed him over to Seattle police, and he was booked into King County Jail.
The Seattle Times typically does not name suspects until they are charged.
This is the man whom police shared photos of Wednesday afternoon, Pritchard said. The images were taken from the apartment building in the off-campus student housing complex, Nordheim Court, where the 19-year-old transgender woman was stabbed to death in a laundry room Sunday night, Pritchard said.

- A fin whale that died after becoming stranded on Samish Island was malnourished and had recently been entangled with nets or other equipment, researchers said Wednesday.
The whale was alive when it was spotted in very shallow water on a gravel beach Monday night but died while responders were heading to the scene, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday. The 61-foot-long, 40-ton whale was in overall poor condition.
The massive animals usually swim off the outer coast of Washington, but this whale had been spotted in inland waters over the past few months, according to the Cascadia Research Collective. Strandings, where a whale is found on a beach and unable to return to the water, are infrequent among fin whales, with only 13 counted since 1986, the collective reported. They usually occur after a healthy fin whale is hit by a large vessel.

- Logan Gilbert wasn’t sure what happened.
He had just hung a 2-1 slider to Carlos Cortes, the A’s No. 3 hitter, who took a vicious hack at the mistake. Gilbert initially saw the ball hit the barrel of Cortes’ bat and come back at him at a high rate of speed.
He put his hands up out of self-defense. Catching it wasn’t an option, unless it just happened to rocket into his glove.
“It was just like a blur,” he said. “I thought it was coming at my face for a second.”
His efforts to deflect the 108-mph laser away from his body during the first inning of Wednesday’s series finale at T-Mobile Park were unsuccessful. The ball struck him in the abdomen.
Gilbert looked around for the baseball believing it bounced off him and landed somewhere near the mound. The other infielders had also converged, expecting the ball to be the near mound. It wasn’t.

“I did not do that,” Griffey told his former teammate.
Video evidence suggests otherwise.
As Griffey and Edgar Martinez pulled the drapery off the statue, the bronze bat Ichiro’s statue was holding aloft snapped at the handle, leaving the rest of the bat dangling at a 45-degree angle.
Confetti flying, Griffey put his head on Martinez’s shoulder and then covered his eyes. Ichiro laughed and pointed at the bat.
Ichiro, at least, had a sense of humor about the whole thing. He blamed it on Mariano Rivera, the Yankees Hall of Famer closer who might hold the unofficial MLB record for breaking batters’ bats.
