Seattle Local Pulse: March 29 - Tens of Thousands March Downtown, Spring Weather Ahead

Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Sunday, March 29. We start with breaking news from yesterday: tens of thousands of us marched through downtown from Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill to Seattle Center for the third No Kings rally, protesting President Trumps policies on ICE, the Iran war, and executive power. Washington Attorney General Nick Brown spoke to the massive crowd, praising our states legal fights, while organizers from Indivisible highlighted community strength amid national tensions. It was peaceful, echoing last years 70,000-strong turnout. Shifting to today, expect overcast skies with light rain and temps around 46 degrees Fahrenheit, winds light at 5 miles per hour from the south. That might dampen outdoor plans near the waterfront, but grab your umbrella for afternoon errands. Tomorrows outlook clears up to mostly sunny near 50 degrees. On city hall, no major votes this weekend, but were watching budget talks that could ease traffic fixes on I-5 through downtown. In new business buzz, a popular coffee spot on Pike Street announced expansion with 20 new jobs, boosting our job market where openings hover around 15,000 monthly. Real estate stays hot, with median home prices up about 8 percent to 850,000 dollars, drawing buyers to Capitol Hill neighborhoods. Sports note: our Seattle Torrent faces Ottawa Charge tonight, a key matchup at Climate Pledge Arena. Crime report from the past 24 hours stays calm, with just minor thefts near Pioneer Square and no major arrests or safety alerts from Seattle PD. Quick school shoutout: LMU Lions baseball won big over Santa Clara yesterday. Looking ahead, catch free community yoga at Gas Works Park tomorrow evening. And a feel-good story: volunteers at the Fremont Troll cleared litter from under the bridge, turning it into a blooming art spot that brought neighbors together Saturday.
