"Deadly Crash, Booming Tech Jobs, and Weather Woes: Seattle Local Pulse for January 13, 2025"
Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Monday, January 13, 2025.
We start with some tragic news from last week. A pedestrian fatality occurred in South Seattle on East Marginal Way near South Orcas Street. According to the Seattle Police Department, a woman was hit by a commuter on their way to work in an area unmarked for pedestrians. This incident serves as a reminder to be vigilant and cautious, especially in low visibility conditions[1].
Moving on to the job market, Seattle continues to be a prime destination for tech professionals. The city boasts over 1,300 tech companies, offering robust career advancement opportunities. AI engineering roles are seeing a 60% increase, with salaries reaching $190,000. Data science jobs have a 48% growth rate, and cybersecurity roles are up by 42%. Entry-level developer salaries start at $85,000, despite the higher living cost[2].
In local government news, the Seattle City Council is working to fill the District 2 vacancy left by Tammy Morales' resignation. The application period closed on January 9, and the council has 20 days to appoint a new member. This position represents neighborhoods like Rainier Beach, Beacon Hill, Columbia City, and the Chinatown/International District[3].
Looking at the real estate scene, home and mortgage prices in Seattle are up, but so is inventory. Would-be buyers face steep upfront costs, but the growing number of available houses offers some relief. The median home price and inventory levels are key factors to watch in the coming weeks[4].
Weather-wise, we're expecting a mix of conditions. The National Weather Service predicts a potent storm system to hit the Seattle area today, with windy conditions, high surf, and heavy rain. Temperatures are expected to drop significantly by Sunday, with possible snow flurries[4].
In business news, Alaska Airlines has announced a 2% reduction in flights until July due to a pilot shortage. This change affects 82 flights and underscores the ongoing challenges in the aviation industry[4].
For community events, keep an eye out for the Space Needle's anniversary celebration, which includes a contest to paint its roof with Galaxy Gold. Additionally, two popular Seattle parks will close early this summer, so plan your visits accordingly[4].
In local schools, Seattle Public Schools is weighing changes to regular school hours. This potential change aims to improve student and staff well-being, and we'll keep you updated on any developments[4].
On a positive note, the Hearst Foundations has awarded the University of Washington with a $300,000 grant, supporting educational initiatives in our community[4].
Finally, in crime news, the Seattle Police Department reminds everyone to be cautious, especially in low visibility conditions, following the recent pedestrian fatality. There have been no major incidents reported in the past 24 hours, but we urge everyone to stay vigilant[1].
