Retail Speed, Labor Cost: Amazon Now is pushing 30-minute delivery in Seattle and other cities, but the model relies on gig drivers and adds fees—raising the question of who pays for “instant” convenience. Seattle Schools: The Seattle teachers union elected a new leader while she’s under investigation in a child abuse case, adding fresh pressure to an already strained district.
