More elections news, but a lot of non-election stuff too.

We’re taking some vacation time this week. SCC Insight will return next week with fresh wordiness and nerdiness. Stay cool and hydrated.  

This morning the City of Seattle announced that over the course of June it will be closing its vaccination sites at Lumen Field, Rainier Beach, West Seattle and North Seattle College, and shifting its focus to mobile vaccination teams.

Today is not a day for politics. Our thoughts and best wishes go to Council President Gonzalez and her family as they deal with the tragedy of losing a loved one and the upheaval of being displaced from their home. May they find comfort in each other’s arms, support in their friends, and solace in their fond memories of better times shared and of a life well lived.  

Not a lot of high-profile business for the Council this week; still, plenty of meetings and business to crank through, including several bills related to city spending.

It’s a slow news day to start the week… I guess we’re all busy filling out our ballots. Also, VOTE.

This afternoon, the Seattle Police Department informed the Washington Supreme Court that it is withdrawing its subpoena for local media companies’ photographic and video footage from early summer related to its attempt to track down the man who stole a firearm out of a police car.

Lots of schedule changes and updates, plus a few bills got their final blessing this afternoon.
