Microsoft outage inconveniences Seattle area, but emergency services remain functional
A global data outage has left parts of Seattle’s government and health care infrastructure without access to digitally stored files. It’s the result of a faulty security update of Microsoft operating systems. The outage has been an inconvenience to many, but hasn’t critically impacted local emergency services or public safety systems, according to Washington State Emergency Management Division Director Robert Ezelle. “In many cases, entities within the medical community or [government] agencies are having to operate manually or using backup… while they're working on restoring some of their primary systems,” he said. Working on backups means going back to older ways of keeping records, said Mike Leong, a spokesperson for Sea-Mar Community Health Centers. Sea-Mar is one of many health care institutions in the region that were impacted by the faulty CrowdStrike update on Thursday night.

Predicting Washington’s Starting Offensive Line
The Husky football season begins at the end of next month. Continuing our look at this year’s program, let’s turn our attention to the most important position group on the offense. The Washington offensive line is where everyone wants to see answers. Zero starters return from its Joe Moore Award-winning unit last season. It added a handful of transfers, but will still be one of the biggest question marks for Washington’s first season in a new league. With the uncertainty, there’s likely to be a lot of rotation among this group all season. There’s an incentive to get as many of these players game reps as possible as their development continues. However, as far as projecting the August 31st starters on the Washington offensive line, these are the players that make the most sense right now.
Washington football recruiting soars under Jedd Fisch: Why Huskies should be 'absolutely giddy' about future
