West Seattle Burglaries, Kraken Win, and Community Cleanup: Seattle Local Pulse for February 5th

Good morning, this is Seattle Local Pulse for Thursday, February 5th. We start with breaking news from West Seattle, where burglars hit hard early Tuesday morning around 5am on California Avenue SW. Lula Coffee at 4451 California SW lost an electronic tablet after the front door lock was punched out, and surveillance caught a hooded white male suspect. Just blocks away at Walters slash Upwell on 4811 California SW, two white males in a white SUV pried off the lock and grabbed items inside. A bit later, Benbow Room on SW Admiral Way had pry marks but turned out to be just an attempt, with a noisy pinball machine fooling everyone. SPD lifted prints and urges tips on cases 26-032404, 26-032408, and 26-032444. Stay vigilant, listeners, especially business owners. Shifting to sports, our Seattle Kraken wrapped the pre-Olympic break on a high note, beating the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 Wednesday night. Shane Wright lit it up with two goals, Vince Dunn and Adam Larsson added tallies, and Joey Daccord stopped 25 shots. They head into the break third in the Pacific Division, 11-6-2 this year. Go Kraken. Weather today brings mostly cloudy skies with temps around 40 degrees in West Seattle, light winds from the north at 5 miles per hour, and no precip. Bundle up for outdoor plans near the waterfront, but its dry enough for walks in Discovery Park. Outlook stays mild through the weekend, highs nearing 60 by Friday before showers creep back. City Hall updates include T-Mobile announcing hundreds of layoffs across Washington, hitting our job market. Real estate holds steady with median home prices around 850,000 dollars, up 5 percent year over year. New business buzz: El Chupacabra and Unwind Cafe in Alki recently burglarized too, but no major openings or closings this week. Mark your calendars for the next Southwest Precinct crime safety meeting February 17th at 2300 SW Webster. Local schools shine with Roosevelt Highs debate team taking regionals. For a feel-good lift, community volunteers cleared 500 pounds of trash from Alki Beach yesterday. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for daily updates. This has been Seattle Local Pulse.
