Private Equity Housing: New research says private equity now owns about 13% of U.S. apartment units—roughly 1 in 8—after rapid buying since 2021, renewing tenant complaints about rent hikes, maintenance cutbacks, and junk fees. Local Safety Push: A Burien business owner is using his own surveillance footage to press the city to fix a crash-prone intersection, arguing pedestrian risk is being ignored. Cybersecurity Shock: Newport schools say a cyberattack forced its Canvas learning system offline, with attackers previously breaching it and posting ransom threats. State Health Snapshot: Washington’s 2025 youth survey finds steady mental health and school gains, including fewer reports of anxiety and depression. Seattle Tech Tension: City leaders are weighing a one-year moratorium on new data centers as residents worry about power, water, and utility-rate impacts. Business & Consumer Watch: Trader Joe’s announced 25 new stores across 14 states, while Washington hospitals rank 40th nationally for patient safety in a new survey.
