In the middle of a pandemic, the subject of the public's health never came up during a 90-minute GOP candidates for governor forum. It's like a metaphor for the alternate realities of our politics — and also why the GOP may be in more trouble than usual in the local elections this year.

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.

What used to be an annual May Day march for workers’ and immigration rights has taken on a different look this year due to coronavirus stay-at-home restrictions.

Seattle police say Leo Driver, 32, walked into the department's East Precinct and confessed to killing his girlfriend, Elisabeth Wright, in March 2015. Her death had originally been attributed to an accidental overdose.

The chase spanned three counties and ended when troopers rammed the man's car and forced it into a spin.

The shooting occurred near the 10700 block of 14th Avenue Southwest.

Another car had stopped at a crosswalk and, because the woman couldn't stop in time, police said they believe she swerved into an oncoming lane of traffic and hit the cyclist.

A dance video created by a Bellingham children's book author set to a track by a local band is so infectiously funny it is impossible to watch without smiling. And that, said Stefanie Cornell, who made the video, was exactly the idea.

Earlier this year, clients of the Seattle-based online ticket broker — many of them artists and small-business owners — said they haven't been paid for events, some dating back to last year. Some, still unpaid, have been turning to Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson for help.

The Redhawks take a four-game winning streak into Tuesday's game at No. 22 Washington where they've lost 14 straight. The Huskies have home-court and a tremendous size advantage, but SU has hot-scoring Terrell Brown.

The Huskies face Ball State for just the second time in school history. They last met the MAC opponent 35 years ago in a game in which Detlef Schrempf scored 20 points in a win.

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?

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. On one cool, magical night at Boston's Fenway Park against the Mariners, he mowed down a Mariners lineup that had been struggling all season to make contact.

As one of the Northwest's top high-school players, he’s accepted a scholarship to play for Washington State. But under a normal circumstances, Russell and his family would be weighing another option more closely — the 2020 Major League Baseball amateur draft.
