On the day Sound Transit was set to release updated numbers from Monday's record-setting train ridership, a loose latch on a hatch sent everything to a grinding halt. The transit agency said it is inspecting light rail cars to prevent another 15-hour shutdown. https://www.kuow.org/stories/sound-transit-has-a-great-monday-and-then-very-bad-thursday #KUOW #News #Transportation #Seattle #WorldCup #SoundTransit

A federal judge has ordered the immigration detention center in Tacoma to allow Washington state officials access to conduct health and safety inspections. It’s the latest in a long-running fight between state officials and GEO Group, the private contractor that owns and operates the federal facility. https://www.kuow.org/stories/federal-judge-orders-tacoma-ice-center-to-allow-health-and-safety-inspections #KUOW #News #Immigration #ImmigrationInTheNorthwest #Tacoma #Immigration #ImmigrationAndCustomsEnforcement

The federal government this week embarked on what it says is a new way to process a backlog of children with ongoing immigration cases. Those cases, which used to take months or years to process, are being moved up, sped up, and packed in on more days in what are called “mega master” hearings. https://www.kuow.org/stories/seattle-immigration-court-begins-mega-hearings-for-child-immigrants #KUOW #News #TrumpAndTheNorthwest #Immigration #Deportation #ImmigrationAndCustomsEnforcement #Immigration #ImmigrationInTheNorthwest #Seattle #Children

Seattle sports enthusiasm has maybe never been more obvious than this year. The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, the World Cup is he, and the SuperSonics feel closer than ever to potentially returning. None of that is due to Mayor Katie Wilson, but will she benefit from it? https://www.kuow.org/stories/it-s-seattle-s-best-sports-year-yet-will-mayor-katie-wilson-benefit #KUOW #News #Politics #Seattle #SeattleSeahawks

Residents of Seattle's South Park have long wanted to do something about Highway 99 that runs through their neighborhood, calling attention to the road's environmental and health impacts. Now that the city has concluded a two-year study into the matter, there are some options on the table. https://www.kuow.org/stories/can-seattle-move-this-highway-south-park-wants-to #KUOW #News #Transportation #Seattle

When Seattle found out months ago that it would be hosting six matches for this year’s FIFA men’s World Cup, the city had no idea that one of those would be a must-win game for Team USA. With a chance at the quarterfinals on the line, Monday’s match against Belgium is likely to be Seattle’s biggest World Cup event yet. https://www.kuow.org/stories/seattle-s-final-world-cup-match-is-set-to-be-its-biggest #KUOW #News #Seattle #WorldCup #Sports #Sports

This week, the Supreme Court of the United States voted 5-4 in favor of a Mississippi law that allows that state to count ballots postmarked by Election Day that arrive within five business days. A decision the other way would have affected similar laws in more than half the states, including Washington. To go over what happened and what may happen next, KUOW’s Kim Malcolm spoke to University of Washington law professor Danieli Evans. https://www.kuow.org/stories/scotus-ruling-not-the-end-of-the-road-for-wa-vote-by-mail-process #KUOW #News #Elections #Voting

Seattle and King County officials announced Wednesday they intend to downsize the scope and responsibilities of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority. The five-year-old agency has faced heavy scrutiny following a damning financial audit. Officials said the agency’s response has been “insufficient” to correct the recent findings of mismanagement. https://www.kuow.org/stories/after-damning-audit-officials-yank-most-funding-from-king-county-regional-homelessness-authority #KUOW #News #Government #Homeless #KingCounty #Seattle
