Anyone waiting for something to happen with the Seahawks and Jadeveon Clowney has been sorely disappointed the last few days/weeks/months as the standout defensive end remains unsigned by Seattle — or anyone else. And given the dearth of movement on the Clowney front, some took it as a sign that his days in Seattle may […]

So was there really any significance when Jarran Reed tweeted he was going back to his old No. 90? The way GM John Schneider portrayed it, it was much ado about nothing.

The Seahawks on Monday filled out their roster by announcing the official signing of 12 more undrafted rookie free agents while waiving four veterans.

In his first public comments since the end of last season, free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney said in a TV interview he has not ruled out that he could still return to the Seahawks.

The salary figures are finally in for one of the Seahawks' most notable free agent additions of the year -- linebacker/rush end Bruce Irvin -- and it turned out to be a bit higher than had been speculated.

People who live along the streets will still be able to drive to their homes, and delivery workers can still operate on the streets. Through traffic will not be permitted.

Last month’s emergency shutdown of the West Seattle Bridge has prompted Seattle City Council member Alex Pedersen to request an audit of the city’s 124 bridges, he said Thursday.

The city's Stay Healthy Streets program aims to close about 15 miles of streets to nonessential vehicle traffic to give more space for pedestrians and bicyclists practicing social distancing.

The closures include streets in Lake City beginning Friday and in Aurora-Licton Springs, Ballard and Delridge/Highland Park.

The streets had been closed temporarily to through traffic to provide more space for people to walk and bike at a safe distance apart during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Seattle Department of Transportation closed the West Seattle Bridge March 23 because of accelerating shear cracks in the central span.

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — A small Pakistani separatist group claimed responsibility Saturday for targeting a security convoy with a roadside bomb that killed six soldiers, including an army major, in the country’s southwest.

Before the pandemic, many brands and wholesalers kept Amazon at arm's length. Now, consultants that help brands navigate Amazon's marketplace say the company is attracting a broad range of vendors that sold at physical stores.

The Seattle-based company also said Wednesday it will make changes to how its stores function when they do open in a “market-by-market” approach.

As Washington grapples with a tsunami of legitimate unemployment claims — more than 100,000 last week — the state also is seeing a rise in attempts by fraudsters to siphon off a portion of the benefits.

2020 is here as a new decade, ready or not. But decades as clear political, cultural, social and historical eras are as elusive as centuries.

Homelessness looks different for everyone. For some, it’s living in your car. For others, it’s couch-surfing, or sleeping in a tent or under a bridge. For the 11 speakers at our recent storytelling event, Stories About Home, it’s looked like all of these things and more.

Washington played its best game of the season to capture a 72-40 win over USC, but can the Huskies repeat this performance when they travel to the Bay Area this week for their Pac-12 road opener?

Aside from a 13-point defeat to Tennessee in Toronto, Washington has lost every game by an average of 5.4 points. And four losses have been by three points or less, which is evidence to UW critics and supporters.

Starbucks said staff across its 14,000 U.S. sites are being told to wipe down busy areas of the store — ideally, every eight minutes. If that can't be achieved, stores shouldn't go more than 30 minutes before cleaning.

In a bid to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, Starbucks will temporarily close some of its North American locations and will shift to a “to-go” model at the rest of its more than 10,000 North American stores. The closures, which were announced and implemented Sunday afternoon, will last at least two weeks and […]

Some cafes close to hospitals or health care sites will remain open, according to the statement, as part of the company’s “efforts to serve first responders and health care workers.” And Starbucks will continue to pay all employees for 30 days, whether they come to work or stay home.

It was exactly 34 years ago Wednesday that Clemens, at the time a highly promising but still unproven Red Sox pitcher, put himself on the baseball map.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a perfect time to sneak in a round or two (or four), but of course, that’s impossible. All courses in the state have been shut down by virtue of Gov. Inslee’s shelter-at-home order March 23.

One of the hottest debates in the coronavirus pandemic is whether the malaria drugs promoted as possible treatments by President Donald Trump really work. But Americans don’t seem overly eager to help answer the question. Enrollment in several clinical trials of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine — including two by the University of Washington — has been […]

NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — A substitute teacher at a Massachusetts high school has been fired for smoking marijuana in class and leading a discussion about the drug, the school’s principal said.

Pot shops and many, if not most, liquor stores in this state are considered “essential businesses” and can stay open under Gov. Jay Inslee’s stay-at-home order.

The padlock business must be having an uptick with all the businesses closed because of the coronavirus. Widely seen in Seattle during the pandemic, locks and chains convey the sense of a city on pause. Some businesses considered essential have limited hours and curbside pickup. Others are hoping to open soon, and some are shuttered […]

The Pentagon has asked a federal court to give it 120 days to “reconsider certain aspects” of a controversial decision to award an important cloud computing contract known as JEDI to Microsoft, according to a court document made public Thursday. Amazon is suing the Defense Department over the decision, which it claims fell in Microsoft’s […]

The 317-page report by the inspector general also found that giving the contract to a single company — Microsoft — rather than dividing it among competitors was "consistent with applicable acquisition standards."

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s process for awarding a highly lucrative cloud computing contract to Microsoft instead of Amazon was in line with legal and government purchasing standards, a government watchdog agency said Wednesday. The Defense Department inspector general found no evidence of White House interference in the contract award process. But the report said investigators […]
