Description
Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Saturday, May 24, 2025.
We're starting with breaking news from Seward Park, where a 16-year-old was shot in the abdomen last night around 10:30 PM. Seattle Police responded to reports of someone threatening another person with a gun when officers heard gunfire. They found the teenager at the park's amphitheater and carried them 100 yards to Seattle Fire Department crews, who transported the victim to Harborview Medical Center. No suspects have been arrested in connection with this incident.
In other public safety news, police converged on The Junction in West Seattle early this morning after a reported burglary at the Antique Mall on California Avenue. A suspect was taken into custody in the 4100 block of 40th SW, suffering from injuries likely related to broken glass at the scene.
Looking at sports, the Seattle Storm defeated the Phoenix Mercury 77-70 in their home opener yesterday, giving fans plenty to cheer about. The Mariners also had a good showing, with Cal Raleigh's 17th home run helping send them past the Astros 5-3.
Weather-wise, we're looking at a beautiful Saturday with temperatures reaching around 72 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Tomorrow will cool slightly to 70 degrees, perfect for outdoor activities like the 54th annual Northwest Folklife Festival happening this weekend at Seattle Center.
Speaking of attractions, the Space Needle unveiled North America's first Skyliner elevator yesterday as part of its $100 million modernization project. The elevator is now open to the public, offering visitors a new experience at our iconic landmark.
For those traveling this Memorial Day weekend, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is preparing for a surge in travelers, so allow extra time if you're flying out.
In city news, Seattle has been ranked as the eighth best parks and recreation system in the United States according to the 2025 ParkScore index by the Trust for Public Land, reaffirming our city's commitment to green spaces.
Business changes include developments at Westwood Village, where J. Crew Factory is moving ahead with its new location, while unfortunately, Bronz'd has closed its doors.
Recovery efforts for three missing boaters in Puget Sound have been temporarily suspended as authorities reassess their approach and strategy.
For basketball fans marking their calendars, "Gary Payton Night" is putting the spotlight on the Superhawks and Seattle's bright basketball future.
This has been Seattle Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
