Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Friday, February 7, 2025. We're starting off with some breaking news from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where a Japan Airlines 787 collided with a parked Delta 737 while taxiing on February 5. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the incident is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration[3].
Moving on to the weather, it's a chilly morning in Seattle, with temperatures expected to be around 39 degrees Fahrenheit today. We're expecting overcast skies and a chance of freezing fog, so be sure to bundle up and drive safely. The city's winter weather conditions also led to delayed garbage, recycling, and food/yard waste pickups yesterday, but services are expected to resume today on a revised schedule[5].
In local news, several school districts in western Washington are reporting delays and closures due to the weather. We recommend checking with your local school district for the latest updates[1]. On a related note, the city is urging residents to prepare their homes for cold weather and build emergency supply kits for homes and vehicles.
In other news, a local Superior Court judge is under scrutiny for releasing dangerous suspects on low bail or no bail, sparking concerns about public safety. The Spotlight is investigating this issue and speaking with police and family members of victims[1].
On the business front, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today, but we do want to remind you to be cautious of scams targeting seniors. A 74-year-old woman recently lost over $600,000 to a fake pop-up alert on her computer from Charles Schwab[1].
Looking ahead to the weekend, there are several community events planned, including a winter festival at the Seattle Center. We'll have more details on that in our next update.
In sports news, we don't have any major updates today, but we do want to give a shoutout to our local school teams who are competing in various tournaments this week.
Finally, in our crime report, we want to mention a recent incident where a suspect fired multiple shots into a Maserati, and another incident where a gunman was caught on camera shooting out the glass at a store in the mall to steal high-end sneakers. The police are investigating both incidents and urging anyone with information to come forward[1].
This has been Seattle Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
