Seattle Torrent Breaks Arena Record as Women's Hockey Surges into Spring

Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for February 28, 2026. We kick off with exciting sports news from Climate Pledge Arena, where our Seattle Torrent just shattered the U.S. arena attendance record for womens hockey last night, drawing 17,335 fans in a sold-out thriller against the Toronto Sceptres. Thats the third record they've set this season, fueled by our Olympians return from Milano Cortina, and it shows how were rallying behind womens sports like never before. Over in junior hockey, the Seattle Thunderbirds pushed past the Vancouver Giants today, keeping their playoff hopes alive at accesso ShoWare Center in Kent. Shifting to our weather, FOX 13 Seattle reports improving conditions with partly cloudy skies this morning and highs around 50 degrees this afternoon. Those chilly 30s overnight will warm up nicely, perfect for outdoor plans near the waterfront or Discovery Park, though sprinkles could linger early. Expect mostly sunny skies tomorrow and Monday before clouds build Tuesday. On the sports front too, the Holy Cross baseball team dominated Seattle University 11-1 last night, with pitcher Jaden Wywoda throwing seven strong innings at their field. We have no major crime incidents to report from the past 24 hours, keeping our streets safe for families heading to Pike Place Market or weekend errands.
