A Man Was Arrested for Having Drugs in His Luggage Twice in a Week at the Same Airport. People get frustrated with airport security . . . but let's face it, they've got PLENTY of nonsense to be frustrated with too. Last week, a 43-year-old man flew from the Netherlands...
Mock Mariners-Orioles trade would give Seattle an unexpected solution at first base
We are in the midst of the most frustrating stretch of Mariners baseball we have seen in a while. This team is 100% reliant upon the starting pitching and barring a complete game shutout, they just can't win games. The offense isn't producing at all, and this has caused Dipoto to start to make some drastic moves, rightfully so. Ty France was designated for assignment on Monday and after a couple of injuries to Julio Rodriguez and JP Crawford, the team is now extremely reliant upon quite a few young, unproven hitters.
MINI TAKES THE STATES 2024 comes to an end after epic journey through the western U.S.
Nearly 2,000 MINI owners from around the country rallied over 1,600 miles from Albuquerque, NM. to Seattle, Wash. MINI TAKES THE STATES (MTTS) 2024, an iconic MINI owners rally hosted by MINI USA, came to close this weekend in Seattle, Wash., after making an epic nine-day journey from Albuquerque, N.M. The highly anticipated event held every other summer attracted nearly 2,000 MINI owners who rallied more than 1,600 miles through five states and nine cities in the western U.S. Of those nearly 2,000 owners, 958 went 'all the way' and 517 were 'first timers'. On the road each day was an average of 650 MINI vehicles and a grand total of over 900 participating MINI vehicles, that number includes every Model Year and model type from the entire MINI lineup since 2002, as well as a few Classic Mini cars from pre-2000.
Former Seahawks second-round pick returns to Seattle for workout
Could a recent draft pick find himself back in a Seattle Seahawks uniform?. As part of Thursday’s training camp practice, the Seahawks brought in (among others) safety Marquise Blair for a workout (first reported by Corbin Smith).

Seattle Mariners Target Cubs Outfielder Seiya Suzuki for Offensive Reinforcement
The Seattle Mariners are facing offensive struggles and potential trades ahead of the MLB deadline present an opportunity for improvement, with the Chicago Cubs potentially being a trade partner. Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki, hitting .261/.332/.461 with 13 home runs this season, could provide a boost to the Mariners' lineup, offering a 123 wRC+ making him a valuable addition. Despite defensive concerns, Suzuki's strong offensive numbers and hitting abilities make him a desirable option for the Mariners.

There Are No Easy Fixes for Declining Statehouse Coverage
Editor's Note: This article appears in Governing's Summer 2024 magazine. You can subscribe here. The destruction of the White House to make room for the expansion of legislative office buildings would certainly make news, if not trigger a constitutional crisis. In the other Washington, not so much. In Olympia, the White House and adjoining Blue House were the nicknames for 1920s-era buildings on the Capitol campus that housed the press corps. They fell into disrepair as the number of reporters registered to cover the Legislature full time fell from 30 in 1987 to only six today. It did not, in fact, make news when they were reduced to parking lots.
