Seahawks for Sale, Homicide Cases Reopened, and Nurses Honored

Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, February nineteenth. We're starting with some major sports news that's shaking up our city. The Seattle Seahawks, fresh off winning Super Bowl 60 less than two weeks ago, are officially going up for sale. The Allen estate announced the move Wednesday in keeping with late owner Paul Allen's wishes to sell off sports holdings and direct the proceeds to charitable causes. The sale process could stretch through the entire offseason, with Latham and Wilkins and Allen and Company handling the search for a new owner. Fans are sharing mixed reactions, with some concerned about whether the franchise will stay in the Pacific Northwest under new leadership. Super fan Mark Collins, who led the Save Our Seahawks campaign back in 1995, says the winning culture built by the current front office needs to be a priority for any incoming buyer. On the public safety front, we're learning about a remarkable case from our homicide unit. Detective Rolf Norton at Seattle Police recently worked on something unusual. Back in 1973, a nineteen-year-old man was shot near Garfield High School, left paralyzed for the rest of his life. That man recently passed away, and the medical examiner officially ruled his death a homicide, directly connected to those decades-old injuries. It's a rare delayed death case. While prosecutors say the case is legally closed since the suspects have passed away, Norton tells us he's managing over one hundred cases he calls unfinished rather than cold. He's dedicated his career to pursuing justice using DNA technology and genetic genealogy, bringing hope to families who've waited decades for answers. One case he carried for over a decade involved the 1994 murder of fourteen-year-old Tanya Frazier. An arrest was finally made last year more than thirty years later. Looking at city hall, Mayor Katie Wilson delivered her first State of the City address yesterday, with discussions about evolving positions on surveillance cameras and homelessness response. The City Council is also planning to block ICE from building new jails in Seattle. For today's weather, we're looking at mostly cloudy conditions with a slight chance of rain and snow showers early this morning, clearing to partly cloudy later tonight. Snow levels are near four hundred feet. High temperatures should reach the lower to mid-fifties with light winds. On a brighter note, the Washington State Nurses Association is honoring five outstanding nurses being inducted into the Washington State Nurses Hall of Fame today. This has been Seattle Local Pulse.
