"Seattle News Roundup: Tragedies, Job Growth, and a Rare Astronomical Event"
Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, December 13, 2024.
We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. Tragically, a 15-year-old boy was shot and killed in West Seattle's High Point neighborhood on Wednesday night. Seattle police are investigating the incident, and no arrests have been made yet. Anyone with information is urged to call the Seattle Police Department Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000[1].
In another incident, two people were shot in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood on Wednesday evening, and homicide detectives are investigating the case[4].
Moving on to our job market snapshot, Seattle's economy remains strong. The latest job market report shows that the unemployment rate is at a record low of 2.9%, with significant job growth across various industries, including professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and construction. Top local employers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing are hiring, and there are many new job postings available[2].
In real estate news, home and mortgage prices in Seattle are up, but so is inventory. The growing number of available houses is giving would-be buyers more options, although they still face steep upfront costs. The median home price and inventory levels are something we'll continue to monitor closely[3].
From city hall, there are discussions about changes to regular school hours in Seattle Public Schools, and we'll keep an eye on any developments that might affect daily life[3].
Looking at the weather, it's going to be a dramatic change from Thursday's 70-degree temperatures to potential snow flurries on Sunday. Today, we can expect cloudy skies with a high chance of rain. Make sure to check the latest forecast before heading out[3].
In new business activity, an Oregon donut shop with a cult following is set to open in Seattle next week. This is exciting news for foodies and those looking for a sweet treat[1].
For upcoming community events, don't miss the chance to see the 'super flower blood moon' on Sunday. It's a rare astronomical event that you won't want to miss[3].
In local school achievements, we'll be highlighting some of the top performers in our next update. Stay tuned for more on that.
On a feel-good note, the Hearst Foundations has awarded the University of Washington with a $300,000 grant, which will support important initiatives and projects[3].
Finally, in our crime report, we want to remind everyone to stay safe and vigilant. The Seattle Police Department is working hard to keep our communities safe, and we appreciate their efforts. If you have any information about recent incidents, please don't hesitate to reach out[1][4].
