Already 71 degrees with clear skies in downtown Seattle it's now 435. A massive fire at a homeless encampment in Seattle since smoke pouring across nearby apartments in South Lake Union. As Como 4's Ryan Sims reports an arrest has been made in connection with the blaze. We have learned that the man arrested has been living here for several years and now he faces a charge of reckless endangerment burning for all of this. In the last year here there has been a murder as well as rapes and rampant drug use. As a result People nearby say they were not surprised at all that this fire started. This camp has been here forever. Media has covered it and the city obviously doesn't want to do anything about it. There's people in charge that should be doing a better job of this probably. It took more than an hour for firefighters to put out these massive flames by the time the fire was out. Total devastation at this camp with very few things even recognizable. Glad they're here fast before it got too big and spread towards the apartments and got worse. Como asked the mayor's office as well as washed out about what will happen to this encampment now that it's gone up in flames. Solution and joint resolution to try to get everyone who was living here into shelter Brian Sims come on after fire swept through part of a homeless camp in North Seattle.

"Maritime history, Bill sports reports. Today, the puget sound region is best known for Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon, and Starbucks. But sailing and fishing vessels were the lifeblood of early Seattle. It's so important because we don't realize how much maritime heritage has impacted our growth as a community alone. Event director Hannah shore with this weekend's classic workboat and maritime show at Seattle's south Lake union park. It showcases the work of the northwest seaport maritime heritage center. We run the gamut and honestly, it's everything from carved wooden boats by hand and we're partners with the center for wooden boats as well. And you can go down there and see boats that were carved literally by hand by people who only had a hatchet in the hammer and all the way up to large vessels like the tugboat, the Arthur fought. This Saturday and Sunday, visitors can meet students from Bryan's maritime high school, climb aboard a wooden boat and learn the nautical ropes, so to speak. We're going to have a monkey fist, which is a heaving line, throwing contest. So what that means is it's all up to the individual throwing the line how accurate they can hit the mark. Shore says the Seattle fireboat demonstration is very cool. So on the fireboat duwamish, it was built in 1909 and it's the second oldest fire boat in the United States and the world's most

"Car struck them at citec airport this afternoon. It's believed the elderly driver accidentally hit the gas near departures for Alaska airlines. Bill walker saw it happen. I was coming here to the airport to pick up my friend and I was behind an SUV going about 5 miles an hour. And all of a sudden it's accelerated and turned hard running jump the curve and ran over people and smashed those buildings. A child is in critical condition at harborview medical center, police are asking anyone who witnessed the accident to contact them. Brace yourself for a complete shutdown of northbound I 5 starting Friday night in Seattle, northwest news radio's John latini explains. Wash dog says it's been alerting drivers about the detour for over a month with signs as far south as sea tag. We have some other ones up near west Seattle bridge, and I 90 as well. And then if you're coming from the east side, we have alerts over on 5 20. Starting at 10 o'clock Friday night, drivers are going to be diverted off I 5 to eastbound 5 20. Tony black is with wash dot. They'll get off at Motley boulevard and they'll turn around on Hamlin street, which is right before the Motley bridge, and then they'll get back on westbound 5 20, and then they'll be able to rejoin north down I 5. Black says the 12 hour window is going to allow crews to install 100 foot long highway construction beams that weigh 36,000 pounds each. This is going to be the base for the new flyover ramp. The main goal of this is for a transit and for carpools to be able to have a more direct access to the south Lake union neighborhood, two Mercer street.

"No repercussions at all. I've witnessed it. All this outreach teams have been very busy the last two weeks that they have moved more than a hundred people into shelter from four major encampments around Seattle. Those include the ship canal bridge, two in Chinatown international district and the one at first in Michigan. With those sites now mostly cleared out, neighbors here in south Lake union say they hope this encampment will be the next to get outreach and then be clear come on fours Jeremy Harris. The plan to install so called street sinks around Seattle has gotten increasingly messy. The idea was a place to clean up for almost 4000 people threatened by disease and living outside, city council set aside $100,000 in late 2020 to pay for an estimated 40 sinks since then, the Seattle times reports as few as 5 street sinks have been installed, finding public places to put them has become a problem. COVID took a toll and now government red tape has all but stopped the work. Fewer people are leaving the Seattle area and King County according to the Census Bureau after a brief decline in people living in the county during the pandemic. The numbers are going back up again. In 2021, King County saw over 37,000 people move on last year, the county only saw just over 16,000 leave the area. King County is the largest county in the state, which is over 2.2 million residents. New numbers show Seattle's tourism industry is making a comeback. According to visit Seattle, nearly 34 million people visited Seattle and King County last year, and that's an increase of more than 27% from 2021. Those visitors spent nearly $7.5 billion

"The pantheon of great achievements. It's probably not up there, but it is still pretty cool to have gotten out on the construction dock that they've built. To build the new eastbound lanes that tie from Montlake over to the floating bridge. So, yeah, it was really cool to get out there and see what they were doing on this project. As you know, they built the westbound first in both directions. Eastern Western now. Driving on that new bridge. This will now have b a parallel bridge to that that will carry the eastbound lanes and, Yeah, I got a chance to go out there and check it out. Look at the work. It was. It was pretty fun. It was a great day to be out there. So tell us what we should expect as drivers once this is all done. Yeah, That's the cool thing about this, Ursula. It is that at about 2024 so about another 2.5 years. These eastbound lanes are going to open on the bridge that takes you across Foster Island and out to the floating bridge. And so we will have dedicated eastbound lanes. We will have dedicated west families that will be their own separate bridges, and that should help with the congestion there. They're also going to have dedicated transit off ramps there to this new lid that they're also building over the 5 20 Bridge when That lid will open at about the same times as as these new lanes and that lives going to have a complete new transit center there as well. So they'll make buses, you know, be able to move through there a lot easier, and at that same time they will have already built the new Reversible Express lane that goes from I five. To the express lanes on sorry from 5 22. The I five express links that will help buses get into South Lake Union and Mercer a lot better so that should really help, however. There's still about six years of work after that, before the entire project wraps up because then they have to build the freeway from malt Lake to I five and they're just starting to look at design at that and just starting to get out of that. So we have about nine years left of work before this floating bridge project. Is complete. And I mean, just think about that. I mean, it's this has been a long term mega project, and it feels like Tacoma and Yeah, yeah, that's right. Kind of kind.

"Is Seattle's morning news. Dave Ross with Heather Boss who's in for Colleen and Chris Sullivan. And here is Rachel Bells, So Google is yanking the chain. They're bringing their employees back to work. But apparently some employees are more equal than others. How is this going to work? Yeah, So apparently, Google does not have a clear plan of how they're going to bring workers back or not bring workers back. And that is very frustrating for workers because they feel like they can't make a plan. So as of now, unlike companies like Twitter, Reddit and Facebook, Google is apprehensive about letting workers permanently work remotely. A lot of tech companies are saying, You know what? This worked out? Fine. Let's just keep on doing it. So the current plan, which apparently according to insiders, that good Goal has changed a lot. But right now 60% of employees are supposed to return to the office. And this is for all of their locations. 20% of the company can still work remotely. And then another 20%. They want to move to a new location. You know whether that be a cross country move or whatever. So if you do choose to relocate, or if they tell you you have to relocate, like at one point They were telling some San Francisco employees. They had to go to North Carolina. They will adjust your salary based on the local market. So for the people in San Francisco who thought they were going to have to move to North Carolina, which got Changed and botched because they keep changing their minds. Their salary was going to be reduced by 20 to 25%, which you can imagine people are not happy about. That's huge. So apparently there is tension and anger at Google because of this and because some people are allowed to work from home, and some are not, and they can't really figure out why. That is. So last week, Um, one of the company's oldest workers, Google's eighth employee in its first VP of engineering, let's see if I say his name, right? Earth's whole sold. They say that right? It sounds good to me. There's um lots. There's lots. He sent a letter to all employees saying, Hey, guess what. I'm going to be working remotely from New Zealand and people were like, Are you kidding me? Like why do you get to do that, and I still have to go into work. So they feel like there's a double standard and different rules that apply to executives, even though he said that this was in the works for a year, and it was put off by the pandemic, But people want to know is his salary going to be adjusted because you know if he's currently in mountain view, California it is 18%. More expensive there than in Auckland, New Zealand, so he should get an 18% pay reduction if they're going to treat him the same. So this is kind of what they're going through right now and a little side note. Apparently, other tech workers and other companies are worried because a lot of the time these other companies look to Google for guidance. They tend to be a model, so they're worried that other companies are going to say Oh, Google's You know, requiring people to come back to work. We're going to require people to come back to work, too. I would hope that's not the case, because you know if there's articles all over the placing that Google employees are unhappy, and there's uncertainty I wouldn't imagine other companies are like Let's try that then. But you never know. Yeah, well, I mean, I can I can see why some employees might think is a double standard possible because it is a double standard. So I was hoping that Google and Amazon for that matter would bring a lot more people back to the their offices because that's what made the whole South Lake Union neighborhood crackling with life right. He had all those young people and suddenly all these high quality burger joints were popping up and I would go down there just just to sample the freshly made yogurt from the food cart. I mean, it was it was great. And now it's sort of like a nose down there. Yeah, Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you've tasted that stuff right where they have the I mean, the the fruit is just so obvious. And then they'd sometimes lace it with some kind of lemon curd and fly. I know I had one last night. I actually have to admit that this is not an advertisement, but They did give me a little bit of a treat recently where they were, like, Can we drop you off something, and I was like, Yes. Come to my house and bring me all of your yogurt now. Yeah, I mean, you know, considering it's it's it's It's just what basically curdled milk in some form. It's a It's a fantastic thing. And the only reason it exists because of all those Amazon employees. I mean, you live in one of those Really happening. Hip neighborhoods. Don't you want all the young people to to resume their lives of going between the office and and then coming back to? You know your your pea patch to to bring all that street life back? I mean, I'm not in a neighborhood that depends on that. You know, I'm not in South Lake Union, but but it is a big problem because you know, there was so much change and a lot of people who have lived here for a long time were really upset about What Amazon did to the city. You know, they like change the city completely. They brought in hundreds of thousands of people to work there, and they built all of these big buildings. And so you know, if that crashes that's going to be huge for the city, no, economically and in real estate. I mean, I just keep thinking, like, could we be a Detroit You know where they're going to be like. You know all these empty buildings. And is that going to lead to, you know, like squatting and all of that. I don't know if it's going to get that extreme, but it does seem like I mean, we talked about the story last week about you know, people might be doing desk sharing like, if not everybody is coming back to work Every day. It sounds like a lot of tech companies would have to take smaller spaces. So yeah, I don't know. I mean, I guess we're going to have to see that I do feel bad for all of the restaurants and businesses around South Lake Union because There. It's a ghost town. I mean, one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle is called Aviv. And it's Israeli, who most which, like oh, my God, It's so hard to get anywhere in this country, and they opened a new shawarma shop in South Lake Union. And it's been closed for months and months and months because there's nobody there and I want my Schwarm. All so I guess we're just selfish. Dave wants his yogurt. I want my shawarma. Let's get this knowing people. Rachel, Bill. Thank you, Rachel. Thanks, Dave. It's 5 53 time for Cairo Radio. Real time traffic brought to you by the Washington Department of Health.

What the Amazon HQ2 Cities Could Learn from Seattle

"Amazon dot com, which has long been based in Seattle will split its second headquarters between Long Island City, New York and crystal city in northern Virginia, Amazon's invasion will likely transform the neighborhoods for the better in quite a few ways. But will also bring new headaches the to new locations could probably take a lesson in this regard from Seattle. That's where we find the Wall Street Journal's Jay green who joins us via Skype j you refer to the Amazon, invasion Beit and Seattle or the two new sites as a prosperity bomb. This has been used to describe what happened to Seattle's downtown. Isn't that? Right. Yeah. In really the whole city. I mean, you know, I I've lived here for twenty years, and you know, it's estan Ishida. See what's happened to housing prices. People of certainly gotten rich selling their homes here after Emma's come in. And, you know, been plenty of new businesses that have opened up to support Amazon and the forty five thousand people in employs in the city. What was the biggest chain? Change that Amazon affected and Seattle was at the skyline or was it something else? Yeah. When there's a bunch boy. But the skyline is is the most noticeable certainly there's a neighborhood they first moved into downtown called south lake union that was cut hardscrabble ramshackle. There wasn't a whole lot there and flash forward ten years, and it's bunch of grieving buildings in nice restaurants young folks walking around, but in another wants to write it. It's an mistake. Well to see how much traffic has gotten congested really because of that influx of people downtown. And that's really a lot of that has to do with Amazon, right? Amazon's presence in Seattle's downtown created a series of headaches traffic jams transit nightmares. And I guess as you said, you know, these rising home prices have put homes or home buying out of the reach for many. Yeah. I mean, listen. Goes both ways. Right when I bought my house here twenty years ago, and I'm doing okay. But you know, I think about my kids is they're moving into adulthood can be really hard for them to buy a home in Seattle at this point unless they land some great job hasn't the downtown really been transformed by I mean, just Amazon workers it's sprung up basically, a whole bunch of new businesses to cater to them restaurants, the obvious one because it's something that nine Zony wind up going into and there'd been a bunch of great restaurants that have shown up downtown a lot of quality kinda lunch spots. But also really nice dinner spots to there's all kinds of service businesses that have emerged new banks downtown, and that sort of thing it's really a whole economy that has catered to this influx of people J with Seattle Amazon really wrote the book on how a company headquartered in the city's downtown lot of corporate headquarters have been located suburbs. Look at Seattle that's often the. As well. You know, when Microsoft moved here forty years ago little bit less than forty years ago, they decided to move to Redmond which is a suburb of Seattle, and they have a big campus there and they've expanded. Actually, they even have some operations in downtown Seattle in the neighboring city Bellevue Boeing when it emerged here. Many decades ago it really build plants in Everett, which is north of the city in Renton, which is south of the city. And so it is it doesn't really have a presence downtown. And that's really been the difference with Amazon, and it was very purposeful. Jeff basis talked about how they wanted the company to be downtown because the executives there thought it would be a lure to talent. And I think that's also one of the reasons why they've chosen the new locations urban places in young people tend to like in places Amazon's pick of Long Island city's generated a lot of controversy in the New York area. One criticism has been that the tax breaks dangled in front of Amazon were way, too generous, and that the money could otherwise have been used. Upgrade the city's infrastructure, especially here the subways was there any comparable sort of controversy in Seattle. Amazon is a big employer, and it sort of been part of the discussion in terms of building infrastructure. I think people have been frustrated over the years with the contributions Amazon has has made or not made Amazon has responded in some regards. There's a streetcar in downtown Seattle and Amazon purchased an extra streetcar to ease.
