Seattle Local Pulse: April 23 - Weather, Safety Updates, and Cultural Events Tonight

Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, April 23. We kick off with todays weather, shaping our plans nicely. Expect a high around 60 degrees with persistent marine stratus and light onshore flow keeping things in the upper 50s to low 60s, according to National Weather Service guidance. Clouds will linger, so bundle up for outdoor walks along the waterfront, but its dry enough for evening events. In breaking news from the past day, a 58-year-old woman was found dead in her cell at Snohomish County Jail Wednesday morning around 7:25 a.m., as KIRO 7 reports. The sheriffs office is investigating, reminding us to stay vigilant about public safety. No other major incidents in Seattle proper overnight. Shifting to city hall, were watching developments like the long-vacant retail bay at 92 Columbia Street in the landmark Colman Building near Post Alley, where talks of fancy upgrades could revitalize Pioneer Square dining spots soon, per the Daily Journal of Commerce. On the cultural front, tonight at 7 p.m., catch Amy Goodman in person for a screening of Steal This Story, Please! at SIFF Cinema Uptown on 511 Queen Anne Avenue North, with Q&A and tickets at 18 bucks. Mae Martin performs comedy at Neptune Theatre same time slots, and the Seattle Symphony hits Benaroya Hall at 7:30. Mark your calendars for the Seattle International Film Festival May 7 through 17, featuring 203 films from 70 countries. Community events buzz tonight too: join the School of Business Social Hour at Beardslee Public House in Bothell from 5 to 7 p.m., and West Seattles youth safety talk on vaping and drugs at Denny International Middle School on SW Kenyon from 5:30 to 7:30.
