Ferguson Appoints Lawyers to Washington Supreme Court
Governor Bob Ferguson appoints Colleen Melody and Theo Angelis to Washington Supreme Court, despite their lack of judicial experience and political donations to Democratic candidates, including Ferguson. Melody, with civil rights division experience, and Angelis, with extensive appellate work, join the court, following a tradition of appointees without prior judging. Experts deem their past donations ethical, as small contributions from lawyers to governors are common. Both will face elections later this year to retain their seats, maintaining Washingtons diverse mix of former judges and top attorneys on the court.

Diesel Prices Surge in Washington State
Diesel Prices Soar in Washington State: A Ripple Effect on Everyday Costs Diesel prices in Washington state have reached record highs following President Trumps military strikes on Iran. The national average now stands at $5.38 per gallon, with local prices surging to $6.52. This surge is impacting everyday costs, particularly groceries, as diesel powers much of the nations shipping. Stores are adding fuel surcharges, leading to frequent price adjustments on shelves. Local shop owners are feeling the pinch the most, with slim margins shrinking further as costs cascade through manufacturers, distributors, and trucks. Meat and produce are seeing the biggest jumps due to their near-daily delivery needs. Experts predict prices will climb sharply but ease slowly over six to twelve weeks after any conflict resolution. Shoppers can support local stores during this challenging time. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

World's First Light Rail on Floating Bridge
Sound Transits Cross Lake Connection: The Worlds First Light Rail on a Floating Bridge - This Saturday, Sound Transit launches the worlds first light rail line across a floating bridge on Interstate 90 over Lake Washington. Riders should be aware of potential weather disruptions, mainly from wind-induced waves. A real-time monitoring system tracks wind speed, direction, and duration to predict wave heights. If waves reach one and a half feet, trains may slow down, switch to single track, or pause service for safety. North winds, which cause more waves, are less frequent around Puget Sound. Sound Transit has spent years testing and mitigating risks for trains on this moving bridge, with frequent inspections and ongoing data checks. Trains will start at ten a.m. following a nine a.m. ribbon-cutting, offering smoother trips from Seattle to the Eastside while prioritizing safety in all weather conditions.

They argued that the city violated the Civil Rights Act by not providing alternative measures like masking or testing. The judge, however, ruled that the citys vaccine mandate was necessary for public safety, especially during high virus spread, and dismissed the case with prejudice.

Kingdome's Implosion: Seattle's Sports Era Ends
On March 26, 2000, Seattles Kingdome, a quirky venue known as the mushroom or concrete cupcake, was demolished, marking the end of an era. The massive dome, built in 1976, served as home to the Seahawks and Mariners. Despite fan love for its rain shelter, it had flaws - cramped space for football, distant views for baseball, and leaks. The low point came in 1994 when ceiling tiles fell. The controlled implosion was a spectacle, with thousands cheering. The Mariners moved to Safeco Field (now T-Mobile Park) in 1999, and the Seahawks to the new stadium in 2000. Today, the field hosts Seahawks, Sounders, and even brief stints like the XFLs Seattle Dragons, keeping the spirit of big-time sports alive in Seattle.
