The City of Seattle’s Office of Planning and Community Development (OPCD) and the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) have officially launched a new Station Area Planning initiative. This effort is specifically focused on the West Seattle Junction and Delridge neighborhoods, aiming to guide growth and development around proposed light rail stations.
As Sound Transit expands light rail across the city, the City is partnering with residents to ensure these areas grow into transit-oriented neighborhoods that are walkable, sustainable, and inclusive. A "station area" generally refers to the neighborhood within a 10-minute walk (approximately a half-mile) of a future station. The planning process will help communities build a shared vision for the future by identifying priorities for infrastructure, housing for all, and a strong local economy.

Amanda Knox has produced an original music video to accompany the documentary about her return to Italy to meet the man who prosecuted her. Mouth of the Wolf: Amanda Knox Returns to Italy is a 2026 Hulu/Disney+ documentary that follows her as she returns to Italy for the first time since her 2015 exoneration. It is not a re‑telling of the Meredith Kercher case; it is a story about confrontation, trauma, accountability, and the unresolved human fallout of a global media spectacle. The documentary’s emotional center is Knox’s face‑to‑face meeting with the prosecutor who pursued her for years.
She posted the video with the following statement.

Kennedy Catholic earned a 9 a.m. Thursday return trip to the Tacoma Dome to play Gonzaga Prep by pulling off a 52-49 win over Chiawana in its loser-out state Class 4A girls basketball opener Wednesday morning.
The Lancers trailed by one at 49-48 when Jayden Fitzgerald stole the ball away from the River Hawks, drew a foul and iced both free throws for a sudden 50-49 advantage with 25.1 seconds to play.
Teammate Britain Brooks sealed the deal with a pair of charity tosses with 7.5 seconds left after a missed Chiawana basket at the other end.
"We didn't expect to get the steal on the ball," said Kennedy Catholic head coach Michael Brooks. "We thought it would be on the pass."
The Lancers looked like they might cruise to victory early, as Paige Nadarski buried three 3-point baskets in a row to turn a 12-12 tie into a 21-12 lead in the second quarter.
The King County Council has approved an emergency one-year moratorium that immediately blocks the acceptance of permits for new or expanded detention facilities in unincorporated King County. Sponsored by Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda, the measure prevents the siting of both publicly and privately operated facilities, including potential ICE detention centers.
The ordinance is designed to close regulatory gaps and prevent approvals obtained through "vague or misleading" project descriptions. It ensures that the county’s land and resources are used to foster community resilience rather than systems that "isolate, intimidate, and harm" residents.

Seattle police officers are investigating an armed robbery of a West Seattle gas station this morning.
At 2:20 a.m., patrol officers responded to reports of a robbery in the 4500 block of Fauntleroy Way Southwest. There, police determined that four masked men, driving a stolen Hyundai Sonata, robbed a gas station clerk at gunpoint, stealing between $500-600 cash.
The suspects fled the scene in the car before officers arrived. Police searched the area, but they could not find the suspects, and no arrests were made. Officers collected evidence and processed the scene. The clerk did not report any injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call the violent crimes tip line at 206-233-5000. Anonymous tips are accepted. Detectives in the Robbery Unit will be assigned to this case.
After months of silence, the music is returning to School of Rock West Seattle. The school has announced a grand re-opening event scheduled for March 7th, 2026, from noon to 3 pm.
The facility was forced to close its doors in October 2025 following a major water leak originating from a CVS pharmacy located directly above the school. The resulting water damage required a complete rebuild of the space, which the school confirms is now finished and ready for students.
Grand Re-Opening Festivities
The celebration on March 7th will feature a variety of activities for the community:
