Last update: 7 hours ago

Commercial Real Estate: Blackstone is selling Seattle’s US Bank Center for about $280M—roughly 54% below what it paid in 2019—highlighting how stubborn office vacancy and higher borrowing costs are reshaping downtown markets. Local Business & Community: Shoreline Farmers Market kicks off its 15th season June 6 with a ribbon cutting and community celebration at Bikelink Park & Ride. Public Safety & Industry Oversight: Washington lawmakers are pressing for a thorough state investigation into the Longview paper mill disaster after reports that key tank inspections were missed, as federal chemical-safety funding faces proposed cuts. Labor & Hospitality: Seattle’s Embassy Suites hotel workers could authorize a strike as World Cup crowds arrive, raising stakes for the city’s visitor economy. Sports Business Investment: One Roof Sports and Entertainment says Melinda French Gates is joining as a minority investor in the Seattle Kraken/Climate Pledge Arena group, pending NHL approval. Health Care Market Watch: CMS data show Life Care Center of Puyallup and Avamere Transitional Care of Puget Sound in Pierce County remain for-profit facilities with strong early-2026 ratings and no reported fines. Community Nonprofit Spotlight: A Spokane nonprofit campus model is expanding wraparound support for students and families by linking schools with services like counseling, health care, and food assistance.
