Lanta was serving time at the coyote ridge correction center on robbery and burglary charges in king and snohomish county He was to be released the September but probably not now Kelly blyer northwest news radio It was a good news bad news session for that task force created to keep tabs on the impact of COVID in the Washington court system the omicron variant forced some dramatic backpedaling and this was the update from a state court judge Scott off I know that a lot of our courts have had a moratorium on jury trials recently because of omicron a number of us that are going to go back to having our jury trials start again I know at least my court is starting again March 1st But virtual jury selection will continue in some counties the backlog of cases across the state is skyrocketing up by 46% over two years ago in superior courts and 55% in municipal courtrooms More Seattle companies are returning to the office Microsoft just announced plans to reopen its Redmond campus in just a couple of weeks Workers have worked remotely in a hybrid model since the pandemic began nearly two years ago but now company leaders said in a blog post they will return to the office on February 28th Company officials say high vaccination rates and declining hospitalizations and deaths allow them to do this Expedia has also announced its plans to reopen its inner bay headquarters on April 4th and expect workers to spend half their time in the office While after two years of pandemic affected education Washington lawmakers are looking to expand outdoor learning We get that story from John lobert tini It's not something you find in every state There is a tradition in many Washington state school districts But outdoor learning is a cherished experience here Just ask representative Sharon tamiko Santos who called it the highlight of elementary school Going with your entire class to camp away from your parents Maybe for the very first time Not every boy and girl gets that chance but House Bill 2078 would create opportunities for every 5th and 6th grader in the state analyst Jordan Clark And SPI must prioritize schools and communities historically underserved by science education

modest this year following several years of significant spikes assessor treasurer of Mike lonergan says the average increase is 5% I think people will be a sigh of relief It's usually just a couple of $100 more per household The bethel and Franklin Pierce school districts will see the biggest jumps of 11% the smallest increases will be in Buckley still a coomb and Milton The ordering district actually will see a decrease in its tax bills of $575 And now let's head over to the Beacon plumbing sports desk it was a big night at the winter games at least for this particular curling fan because the U.S. men's team got an important win over the Swiss team 7 to four your final there and it matters because number one the U.S. men's team is defending its gold medals The first time in 2018 the U.S. men's curling team won a gold medal first time ever and so if they had lost this game they would have pretty much had no chance at the metal round Now they head into the last three games of the round Robin in a position with teams playing against teams that are low in the standings and not performing so well that they could sweep these last three games and be headed back to the metal round So fingers crossed for the next few matches for U.S. men's curling Meanwhile Bill Swartz says the start of baseball spring training probably won't happen this week It's been more than two months now since the MLB's old contract expired and Saturday the owners moved a bit on new economic issues adding $2 million a year to the competitive balance tax threshold offered two choices for a minimum salary structure But it's more than likely the start of spring training this week will be delayed until the owners and players get closer to the March 31st regular season opener Seattle sounders have added a new central defenders sending a 2023 third round draft choice to Chicago for Jackson Reagan 6 5 Seattle preparing for a two match series now with the Honduran club ma tagua The Champions League I think it's a great opportunity for us to do something special but whenever you're in a tournament plan for a trophy it means a lot So I think that's a big focus of ours.
