Seattle Local Pulse: February 22 - Sports Action, Community Events, and Weekend Weather

Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, February 22. We start with breaking news from Capitol Hill, where a tragic shooting Friday night near East Pine Street and Belmont Avenue claimed one life. A 42-year-old man remained at the scene after an altercation and is now in King County Jail as homicide detectives investigate. Our hearts go out to the family and community. Shifting to sports, we have big action today. The Washington womens basketball team hosts Nebraska at noon in Alaska Airlines Arena, with Sayvia Sellers earning Naismith Trophy honors after 20 straight double-digit games. Sounders FC kicks off their MLS season tonight at 7:15 at Lumen Field against Colorado Rapids, building on last years epic comeback draw. Thunderbirds fell in a shutout to Everett last night, but Mariners manager Dan Wilson reports strong team chemistry in camp. Weather today brings drizzle and sprinkles, with highs around 50 to 51 degrees at Sea-Tac. Bundle up for outdoor plans, as overcast skies linger into tomorrow with possible showers, but no major disruptions expected. From City Hall, no big decisions this weekend, but watch for updates on daily impacts like bridge maintenance, after a brief eastbound West Seattle Bridge closure at 35th SW Friday. New business buzz in West Seattle: I Luv Teriyaki at Westwood Village reopens soon, and Hiawatha Community Center celebrates its grand reopening today from 10 a.m. to noon at 2700 California SW with kid activities and music.
