Seattle Warehouse Fire Ruled Arson | Seattle News
Yesterday00:01:35Tap to summarizeSeattle’s Industrial District erupted in flames last July 15th in a massive three-alarm warehouse fire that sent smoke billowing across the neighborhood—forcing residents to seal their homes. The blaze, sparked around 1 AM and quickly engulfing two tractor-trailers and mysterious chemical barrels, caused the warehouse roof to collapse by 1:15 AM, halting interior firefighting efforts. Over 100 first responders battled the inferno until it was fully extinguished by 2:30 AM. Authorities have now officially classified the fire as arson, though no suspects or motives have been disclosed. The investigation is still active as the city grapples with the deliberate destruction. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Yesterday00:01:25Tap to summarizeSeattle’s rental market is cooling slightly—three-bedroom rents down 2.5% to around $3,700, a welcome breather after last year’s 8% spike. Still, that’s pricey, requiring a $133K annual income to stay within the 30% affordability rule. While Seattle and Bellevue see modest corrections, demand pushes prices higher south in Kent and Tacoma. Renters now have a bit more negotiating power, though it’s far from a buyer’s market.

Yesterday00:01:51Tap to summarizeBill Gates admits he made a grave error in judgment by meeting with Jeffrey Epstein, as a WilmerHale review uncovers troubling ties between the Gates Foundation and the convicted sex offender — including meetings at Epstein’s Manhattan home and on the foundation’s campus, a stalled global health investment fund Epstein pitched, and a grant to an organization led by someone connected to Epstein. While the foundation insists no illegal payments were made and denies wrongdoing, documents show Gates’ name surfaced in Justice Department files.
