JBLM soldier sentenced for sexually assaulting college student in barracks
A military judge sentenced Pvt. Deron Gordon to over six years in prison for sexually assaulting a college student.
JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. — A Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier who sexually assaulted a college student in the barracks in 2024 was sentenced to more than six years in prison Friday.
A military judge sentenced Pvt. Deron Gordon, 20, to six years and three months in prison after he pleaded guilty to one specification each of sexual assault, abusive sexual contact and as a principal to indecent recording.
Gordon was previously charged with additional crimes, but those were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
Gordon is one of four soldiers who were charged in in connection to the sexual assault of a college student, who is now a commissioned Army officer, in October 2024.
When Gordon pleaded guilty, he said that he and another soldier followed the college student into a bedroom after she had been drinking with them. He said she was unstable walking into the room and when they went inside she was on the bed and not responsive.
Gordon said he and the other soldier each proceeded to have sex with her and they filmed each other sexually assaulting her on Snapchat.
As part of his sentencing, Gordon will be reduced in rank to E-1 and dishonorably discharged from the Army.
Gordon will serve the remainder of his sentencing at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Once he is released, Gordon must register as a sex offender.
The three other soldiers who were charged in the incident are at different points in the legal process, and their cases are being treated separately.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, you can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. Additional resources are available on the Washington State Department of Health's website.

Teen sentenced in 2023 deadly Metro bus shooting near White Center
In the plea agreement, the teen said he recognized the man from pulling a gun on him on the bus several days prior and was nervous and scared.
WHITE CENTER, Wash. — A teenager was sentenced Friday to over 23 years in prison for shooting and killing a man aboard a King County Metro bus near White Center in 2023.
King County Judge Brian McDonald sentenced Miguel Rivera Dominguez, 19, to 23 years and 4 months in prison, with credit for time served. Prison time will be followed by three years of community custody.
The sentencing comes after Rivera Dominguez pleaded guilty July 3 of first-degree premeditated murder.
On Oct. 3, 2023, Rivera Dominguez fired five shots from “point blank range” at the head and neck of Marcel Da'jon Wagner, 21, who appeared to be asleep aboard the bus near Southwest Roxbury Street and 15th Avenue Southwest, according to charging documents.
In the plea agreement, Rivera Dominguez said he recognized Wagner from having “pulled a gun” on him on the bus a few days prior.
“i was nervous and scared when I saw him on 10/3/23 but he was not threatening me and I was not acting in self-defense,” Rivera Dominguez wrote.
There were 15 other passengers on the bus at the time, but none of them were injured in the shooting.
Rivera Dominguez, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, fled after the incident and remained at large for a month before he turned himself in.
The shooting prompted concerns about safety aboard King County Metro buses. After the shooting, Metro said it would add security to the H Line, expanding transit security officers who patrol buses and transit centers.
Let’s Go Washington launches initiative campaign on trans youth sports, parental rights
Let's Go Washington, the backers of the 2024 initiatives, is looking for signatures again.
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Let's Go Washington is back in the initiative game.
The organization, founded by Brian Heywood, sponsored several initiatives in 2024 changing state law.
Heywood announced Monday signatures are being gathered to submit two initiatives to the 2026 state Legislature or potentially voters. The initiatives relate to parental rights and trans youth athletes.
Heywood's organization achieved significant victories last year when voters supported initiatives restricting natural gas use and overturning state laws limiting police pursuits. The state Legislature also passed Let's Go Washington-backed measures banning income taxes and guaranteeing parental rights to access school records. The success came after Heywood invested more than $5 million of his own money into seven initiatives.
"Someone has to stand up and fight back. And what I think I've done is given the voice. I've given voice to 1.2 million people who signed at least one of our initiatives," Heywood said.
However, the organization faced a setback earlier this year when Gov. Bob Ferguson signed legislation overhauling the "parents bill of rights" initiative.
"It stripped all the parts about parental notification or parental access to information," Heywood said.
In response, Let's Go Washington is now gathering signatures for two new campaigns. The first seeks to overturn Ferguson's recent law, restoring their original parental rights initiative. The second would require physicians to assign genders to youth athletes during physicals, prohibiting those considered males from competing against females.
"Allowing biological males to compete in girls sports is a blatant, a flagrant violation of Title IX, I would argue, and also extremely unfair to girls who've worked really hard to get in a position to be top athletes," Heywood said.
Despite failing to pass initiatives targeting the state's climate law, long-term care savings program, and capital gains tax in 2024, Heywood remains optimistic about his organization's impact.
"Four out of seven, I'm pretty, pretty happy with what we did, and we're not done," he said.
If the organization can collect enough signatures by the end of the year, the issues would be submitted to the state Legislature. Lawmakers could either pass the initiatives or let voters decide in November 2026.
Man ‘violently’ assaults 2 women at Edmonds massage parlor
A man violently assaulted two women at an Edmonds massage parlor on Sunday, according to police. Both were taken to area hospitals for treatment.
EDMONDS, Wash. — A man "violently" assaulted two female employees at an Edmonds massage parlor Sunday evening, according to the Edmonds Police Department.
A 911 caller reported an assault at the business on Edmonds Way just before 6 p.m. A 48-year-old man allegedly attacked the two women and then fled the area on foot.
When police arrived at the massage parlor, they found both women unconscious. One woman was taken to Swedish Edmonds and the other woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of their injuries.
There is no information on their conditions at this time.
Witnesses were able to point police officers in the direction of the suspect, and he was taken into custody nearby. The man made statements to police acknowledging he assaulted the women, but he did not share a motive, Edmonds police said. Detectives are still investigating what led up to the attack.

Trump wants to remove artifacts of America’s darker past. Museum leaders push back
President Donald Trump said the Smithsonian only discusses "how horrible are country is," but local museum leaders say he misses the deeper story.
SEATTLE — A beacon of American innovation and preservation, the unparalleled collections of the Smithsonian Institution have been deepening our understanding of world culture since the mid-1800s.
But the world's largest museum complex is coming under fire, and long standing exhibits are in jeopardy.
On his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump claimed that the Smithsonian is "out of control, where everything discussed is how horrible our country is, how bad slavery was and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been."
An NBC investigation from May found that at least 32 artifacts were removed from the African American History Museum in Washington, D.C., following an order from Trump directing institutions to remove exhibits that "divide Americans based on race." These artifacts include Harriet Tubman's book of hymns and "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass."
Local leaders from some of Seattle's top museums say there's a deeper story of hardship and triumph that the president is missing in these exhibits.
"This is our history, and our history is very complicated," said Scott Stulen, executive director of the Seattle Art Museum. "There are a lot of parts of it that maybe we aren't so proud of - there are parts of it that we are proud of, but we need to show both of those things."
CEO and President of the Northwest African American Museum, Brandon Bird, emphasized the importance of seeing the full picture of the United States.
"We can't remove certain segments of our history," Bird said. "If we're gonna really share and fully understand the full arc of our nation's history...slavery is part of that fabric of the story. We owe it to all of us, as citizens and as stewards of that history, to make sure we're telling a full, factual story of our local population and beyond."
Stulen said, it hasn't been for very long at all that museums have actually strived to tell the full story of their communities - he said it's important not to go back.
"I think it's a danger if you're having any administration, it doesn't matter what party it is, that's controlling that narrative we want to be basing our stories on, principles and values, and telling a complete history from multiple perspectives. That's the role of museums," Stulen said.
Stulen revealed that the Seattle Art Museum has already lost all of its federal funding over the course of a few years. He estimated the funding losses to be between $400,000 to $700,000.
Bird said at this moment he recognizes there are attempts to remove, or even rewrite parts of U.S. history.
"The momentum is stressful, both as the lead steward of a beautiful museum, but also as an individual citizen," he said. "That said, we've been here before as a country, and we have examples that we can rely upon to remain courageous, supplement our endurance."
Bird said at this time he is leaning into fulfilling the mission of the Northwest African American Museum, which includes using "Black heritage to cultivate healing and hope for all."
"It's through the advancement of our mission where we're really able to elevate our commonality with our diverse population and really create a level of dialogue that honestly contributes to the advancement of our region, and our nation as a whole," Bird said.

The adventures of Emil the moose keep a corner of Austria on its toes
The moose showed up late last week in a suburb of the provincial capital, St. Pölten and doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to leave.
VIENNA, Austria — For weeks, sightings of a rare immigrant have been keeping a corner of Austria on its toes.
A moose that has come to be known as Emil appeared nearly three weeks ago in Lower Austria, a province in the country's northeast that surrounds Vienna, and it doesn't seem to be in any hurry to leave. Sightings of the animal have drawn curious onlookers, and by Monday a Facebook fan page for him had 10,000 members.
It's been an eventful few days for Emil. The moose showed up late last week in a suburb of the provincial capital, St. Pölten. On Saturday evening, he found his way onto the tracks at its main railway station — prompting a several-hour closure of the Vienna-Salzburg main line, which passes through the city.
Moose aren't native to Austria. Emil is believed to have come from Poland via the Czech Republic, Austria's northern neighbor.
The local animal protection organization says people should avoid feeding him or approaching him for photos and videos. It urged people to leave the animal in peace and not to make a special trip to see him — moose, it said in a social media post, “don't need closeness to humans.”
Emil's whereabouts weren't clear on Monday — he was believed to have wandered northward out of St. Pölten. Police reported no new deployments related to the moose, the Austria Press Agency reported.

11-year-old boy dies after being shot while playing ding-dong-ditch, Houston police say
When asked about potential charges, Sgt. Michael Cass said the circumstances don’t appear to support a self-defense claim.
HOUSTON — An 11-year-old boy is dead after police say he was shot during a “ding-dong-ditch” prank in east Houston late Saturday night.
The shooting happened around 11 p.m. near Mimbrough and Fidelity streets, just east of the East Loop.
Houston police said the boy and a group of kids had been ringing doorbells in the neighborhood when they knocked at one home. That’s when, according to witnesses, someone came out of the house and started shooting at the children as they ran away.
“A witness says someone ran out of that house and was shooting at the kids running down the street, and unfortunately, sadly enough, one of the boys who was 11 years old was shot in the back,” said HPD Homicide Detective Sgt. Michael Cass.
The boy was taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds and later died Sunday afternoon.
Police said a man was detained at the home where the shooting happened. He has not been arrested but was being questioned by homicide detectives Sunday.
While executing a search warrant at the house, investigators collected several rifles and handguns as evidence.
When asked about potential charges, Sgt. Cass said the circumstances don’t appear to support a self-defense claim.
"In my opinion, it does not look like any type of self-defense. It wasn’t close to the house, so it’ll more than likely be a murder charge,” Cass said.
Neighbors said they’re devastated over the boy’s death and stunned that a child lost his life over what they considered a harmless prank.
“What harm could they have done? Playing with a doorbell? That’s the part that really kind of hurts the heart,” one neighbor told KHOU 11. “For someone to shoot him in the back, they knew they were a kid. What’s the purpose of it?”
Others shared a safety reminder for parents and children.
“You just don’t go knocking on people’s doors,” one neighbor said.
“I guess for parents out there, just be more cautious of the times we’re living in now,” Cass added.
Police said they are working with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office on possible charges. Detectives are also reviewing surveillance video and asking neighbors for any additional footage.

Pope Leo XIV declares teen computer whiz Carlo Acutis the first millennial saint
Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006 at 15 years old, was known as "God's influencer" and used technology to spread his faith.
VATICAN CITY, — Pope Leo XIV declared a 15-year-old computer whiz the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint Sunday, giving the next generation of Catholics a relatable role model who used technology to spread the faith and earn the nickname “God’s influencer.”
Leo canonized Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006, during an open-air Mass in St. Peter’s Square before an estimated 80,000 people, many of them millennials and couples with young children. During the first saint-making Mass of his pontificate, Leo also canonized another popular Italian figure who died young, Pier Giorgio Frassati.
Leo said both men created “masterpieces” out of their lives by dedicating them to God.
“The greatest risk in life is to waste it outside of God’s plan,” Leo said in his homily. The new saints “are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upwards and make them masterpieces.”
An ordinary life that became extraordinary
Acutis was born on May 3, 1991, in London to a wealthy but not particularly observant Catholic family. They moved back to Milan soon after he was born and he enjoyed a typical, happy childhood, albeit marked by increasingly intense religious devotion.
Acutis was particularly interested in computer science and devoured college-level books on programming even as a youngster. He earned the nickname “God’s Influencer,” thanks to his main tech legacy: a multilingual website documenting so-called Eucharistic miracles recognized by the church, a project he completed at a time when the development of such sites was the domain of professionals.
He was known to spend hours in prayer before the Eucharist each day. The Catholic hierarchy has been trying to promote the practice of Eucharistic adoration because, according to polls, most Catholics don’t believe Christ is physically present in the Eucharistic hosts.
But Acutis limited himself to an hour of video games a week, apparently deciding long before TikTok that human relationships were far more important than virtual ones. That discipline and restraint has proved appealing to the Catholic hierarchy, which has sounded the alarm about the dangers of today's tech-driven society.
In October 2006, at age 15, Acutis fell ill with what was quickly diagnosed as acute leukemia. Within days, he was dead. He was entombed in Assisi, which known for its association with another popular saint, St. Francis.
Millions flock to Acutis' tomb
In the years since his death, young Catholics have flocked by the millions to Assisi, where they can see the young Acutis through a glass-sided tomb, dressed in jeans, Nike sneakers and a sweatshirt. He seems as if he's sleeping, and questions have swirled about how his body was so well preserved, especially since parts of his heart have even toured the world as relics.
Both saint-making ceremonies had been scheduled for earlier this year, but were postponed following Pope Francis’ death in April. Francis had fervently pushed the Acutis sainthood case forward, convinced that the church needed someone like him to attract young Catholics to the faith while addressing the promises and perils of the digital age.
“It’s like I can maybe not be as great as Carlo may be, but I can be looking after him and be like, ‘What would Carlo do?’” said Leo Kowalsky, an 8th grader at a Chicago school attached to the Blessed Carlo Acutis Parish.
Kowalsky said he was particularly excited that his own namesake — Pope Leo — would be canonizing the patron of his school. “It’s kind of all mashed up into one thing, so it is a joy to be a part of,” Kowalsky said in an interview last week.
Much of Acutis’ popularity is thanks to a concerted campaign by the Vatican to give the next generation of faithful a “saint next door” who was ordinary but did extraordinary things in life. In Acutis, they found a relatable tech-savvy millennial — the term used to describe a person born roughly between 1981 and 1996 who was the first generation to reach adulthood in the new millennium.
The Vatican said 36 cardinals, 270 bishops and hundreds of priests had signed up to celebrate the Mass along with Leo in a sign of the saints’ enormous appeal to the hierarchy and ordinary faithful alike.
Popular piety for the digital age
An hour before the Mass, St. Peter’s Square was already full with pilgrims, many of them young millennial Italians, many with toddlers in strollers.
“I learned from different people what his professors, his teachers said about his joy and the light he carried around him,” said Leopoldo Antimi, a 27-year-old Roman who got to the square early to secure a spot. “So for me personally as an Italian, even on social networks that are used so much, it is important to have him as an influencer.”
Matthew Schmalz, professor of religious studies at Holy Cross college in Worcester, Massachusetts, said Acutis' canonization extends the church tradition of popular piety to the digital age.
“He becomes an emblem or model of how Catholics should approach and use the digital world--with discipline and with a focus on traditional Catholic spirituality that defies the passage of time,” he said in statement. “He is a new saint of simplicity for the ever complex digital landscape of contemporary Catholicism.”
Frassati, the other saint being canonized Sunday, lived from 1901-1925, when he died at age 24 of polio. He was born into a prominent Turin family but is known for his devotion to serving the poor and carrying out acts of charity while spreading his faith to his friends.

The northern lights may be visible further south than usual tonight. Here’s where and how to watch.
The atmospheric light show could be visible in 18 states, and skywatchers in dark areas should be able to spot it.
WASHINGTON — Skywatchers in 18 states may be treated to a colorful light show Tuesday evening as the northern lights could appear across North America, according to forecasts.
The aurora borealis phenomenon began late Monday, and is expected to last through Tuesday night.
The ethereal lights that make up the celestial show may be visible further south than is typical, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center.
What causes Aurora Borealis?
The light show is caused by "a long-duration M2.7 flare that peaked at approximately 30/2002 UTC," according to the agency. "An associated full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed in coronagraph imagery."
In layman's terms: the sun is constantly shooting out charged particles. But sometimes, it emits a particularly violent stream of energy known as solar wind, during solar flares or "coronal mass ejections."
When these energetic solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere, they collide with the gasses in the upper atmosphere and charge them. As that energy dissipates, it lets out light that we can see.
The different gasses produce different colors, which is why an aurora borealis can shift from green and blue to red and purple.
What states will see the northern lights tonight?
Millions of people across much of the northern United States are in the possible path of Tuesday night's northern lights display, according to NOAA's latest prediction.
Viewers in 18 states may be able to see the lights if they're in a sufficiently dark environment:
AlaskaMontanaNorth DakotaMinnesotaWisconsinMichiganMaineSouth DakotaVermontNew HampshireIdahoWashingtonOregonNew YorkWyomingIowaNebraskaIllinois
How to see auroras
Northern lights forecasts can be found on NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center website or an aurora forecasting app.
Consider aurora-watching in a quiet, dark area away from city lights. NASA's Kelly Korreck recommended skygazing from a local or national park. And check the weather forecast because clouds can cover up the spectacle entirely.
Taking a picture with a smartphone camera may also reveal hints of the aurora that aren’t visible to the naked eye.

Powerball jackpot soars to $1.8 billion, second-largest in US history
The prize carries a cash value of $826.4 million, trailing only the record $2.04 billion jackpot hit in California in 2022.
WASHINGTON — The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.8 billion, offering a cash value of approximately $826.4 million, making it the second-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.
The only prize larger was the $2.04 billion jackpot won in November 2022.
The jackpot for Saturday's drawing was initially set at $1.7 billion, but game leaders increased the estimate Friday morning.
“Excitement is building as players look forward to tomorrow night’s drawing for this historic jackpot,” Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO said. “We encourage everyone to play responsibly and take pride in knowing that every $2 ticket also helps support good causes in their community.”

3. $1.602 billion, Mega Millions, Aug. 8, 2023. The winning ticket was sold at a supermarket in Neptune Beach, Florida.
4. $1.586 billion, Powerball, Jan. 13, 2016. The winning tickets were sold at a Los Angeles-area convenience store, a Florida supermarket and a Tennessee grocery store.

10. $1.13 billion, Mega Millions, March 26, 2024. The winning ticket was sold at a liquor store in New Jersey
What are the odds of winning the Powerball?
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million. The odds of matching all five white balls and winning the $1 million prize are 1 in 11,688,053. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.87.

Howard Stern delays return to SiriusXM show as speculation about his future grows
Stern has been off the air since late July for his annual summer break, and the summer months have been filled with speculation about his future.
WASHINGTON — Howard Stern has delayed his return to his SiriusXM show, originally slated for Tuesday, after weeks of promotion and speculation that the show would be canceled.
For weeks, there has been speculation about the legendary radio personality's show, fueled in part by his own social media accounts.
British tabloid The Sun reported in August that Stern's show was set to end because there was no chance that SiriusXM and Stern would be able to come to terms on a new contract.
The Stern Show's X account then leaned into the report and rampant speculation, posting a video in August featuring a number of possibilities: "Fired? Retiring? Canceled? Bye-Bye Booey?" the ad said. "Howard Stern will speak."
The ad said Stern's statement would come on "The Stern Show" on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
And in the weeks after the post, Stern's social media team has kept the speculation afloat, posting memes about the possibility of him being canceled or renewed.
But early Tuesday morning, the X account for Stern's show posted a new message, saying he would instead reveal all on Sept. 8, next Monday.
Stern has been off the air since late July for his annual summer break, and the summer months have been filled with speculation about his future and contract negotiations.
It's still unclear what Stern's announcement will be, but industry speculation has hinted at him possibly going off the air.
Last year, according to Deadline, SiriusXM’s Scott Greenstein told investors on an earnings call that he saw no end for Stern's partnership in sight.
“As for Howard, he’s a singular talent," Greenstein said. "No one pretended when Johnny Carson or others retired that the new group would replace them. They were just simply filling in on those slots. So Howard, we hope he continues forever."
Neither SiriusXM nor Stern have commented recently about the contract between the shock jock radio personality and his network.
Florida to end all vaccine mandates, create commission to ‘Make America Healthy Again’
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends COVID-19 shots for children ages 6 months to 2 years and for older kids in certain instances.
VALRICO, Fla — Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced the state's Department of Health will be working to end all vaccine mandates.
At a news conference in Valrico, the health official said the government doesn't have the right to tell citizens what to put in their bodies.
Ladapo didn't give a specific timeline for when the mandates would be ended or how his team would achieve this.
"Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery," he said. "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in your body?"
School immunization requirements for Florida include MMR, Hepatitis B, Polio, Measles-mumps-rubella, chickenpox and several others.
"It's not that sometimes people will end up regretting the decision they made, and we've seen a lot of that from the COVID-19 pandemic. I mean, how many people put that poison in their bodies and wish they could turn back the hands of time?" Ladapo said.
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends COVID-19 shots for children ages 6 months to 2 years and advises for older children if parents want their kids vaccinated.
That differs from controversial guidance established under U.S. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which doesn't recommend the shots for healthy children of any age but says kids may get them in consultation with physicians.
Kennedy also announced in August that the federal Department of Health would cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses.
Florida would be the first state to not have a vaccine mandate if this plan goes through. No other state has a complete ban, but all states allow exemptions from immunization requirements for medical reasons. State laws also vary regarding religious or personal reasons, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis also announced the creation of a commission that will help implement policies to "Make America Healthy Again," stemming from federal efforts to create policies and strategies to address and end childhood chronic diseases.
Kennedy has brought children's health to the forefront of the national policy conversation, unveiling in May a much-anticipated “Make America Healthy Again” report that described kids as undernourished and overmedicated, and raised concerns about their lack of physical activity.
The Florida commission will work to implement principles such as individual medical freedom, parents' rights and informed consent, according to DeSantis.
Like the federal government, Florida officials said they will work to determine the causes of chronic diseases and help "restore trust" in Floridians with health care officials.

Iran-backed Houthis raid UN food and children’s agencies in Yemen, detain employee
Abeer Etefa, a spokesperson for the World Food Program, told The AP that security forces raided the agencies’ offices in Houthi-controlled Sanaa Sunday morning.
CAIRO, Egypt — The Iran-backed Houthis on Sunday raided offices of the United Nations’ food and children's agencies in Yemen’s capital, detaining at least one U.N. employee, officials said, as the rebels tighten security across Sanaa following the Israeli killing of their prime minister.
Abeer Etefa, a spokesperson for the World Food Program, told The Associated Press that security forces raided the agencies’ offices in the Houthi-controlled capital Sunday morning.
Also raided were the offices of the United Nations’ children agency, UNICEF, according to a U.N. official and a Houthi official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to brief the media.
Ammar Ammar, a spokesperson for UNICEF, said there was “an ongoing situation” related to their offices in Sanaa, without providing further details.
The U.N. official said contacts with several other WFP and UNICEF staffers were lost and that they were likely also detained.
The raids were the latest in a long-running Houthi crackdown against the United Nations and other international organizations working in rebel-held areas in Yemen.
They have detained dozens of U.N. staffers, as well as people associated with aid groups, civil society and the now-closed U.S. Embassy in Sanaa. The U.N. suspended its operations in the Houthi stronghold of Saada in northern Yemen after the rebels detained eight U.N. staffers in January.
Sunday's raids came on the heels of the killing of the Houthi prime minister and several of his cabinet in an Israeli strike last week, in a blow to the Iran-backed rebels who have launched attacks on Israel and ships in the Red Sea in relation to the Gaza war.

JBLM soldier sentenced for sexually assaulting college student in barracks
A military judge sentenced Pvt. Deron Gordon to over six years in prison for sexually assaulting a college student.
JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. — A Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier who sexually assaulted a college student in the barracks in 2024 was sentenced to more than six years in prison Friday.
A military judge sentenced Pvt. Deron Gordon, 20, to six years and three months in prison after he pleaded guilty to one specification each of sexual assault, abusive sexual contact and as a principal to indecent recording.
Gordon was previously charged with additional crimes, but those were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
Gordon is one of four soldiers who were charged in in connection to the sexual assault of a college student, who is now a commissioned Army officer, in October 2024.
When Gordon pleaded guilty, he said that he and another soldier followed the college student into a bedroom after she had been drinking with them. He said she was unstable walking into the room and when they went inside she was on the bed and not responsive.
Gordon said he and the other soldier each proceeded to have sex with her and they filmed each other sexually assaulting her on Snapchat.
As part of his sentencing, Gordon will be reduced in rank to E-1 and dishonorably discharged from the Army.
Gordon will serve the remainder of his sentencing at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Once he is released, Gordon must register as a sex offender.
The three other soldiers who were charged in the incident are at different points in the legal process, and their cases are being treated separately.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, you can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. Additional resources are available on the Washington State Department of Health's website.

Teen sentenced in 2023 deadly Metro bus shooting near White Center
In the plea agreement, the teen said he recognized the man from pulling a gun on him on the bus several days prior and was nervous and scared.
WHITE CENTER, Wash. — A teenager was sentenced Friday to over 23 years in prison for shooting and killing a man aboard a King County Metro bus near White Center in 2023.
King County Judge Brian McDonald sentenced Miguel Rivera Dominguez, 19, to 23 years and 4 months in prison, with credit for time served. Prison time will be followed by three years of community custody.
The sentencing comes after Rivera Dominguez pleaded guilty July 3 of first-degree premeditated murder.
On Oct. 3, 2023, Rivera Dominguez fired five shots from “point blank range” at the head and neck of Marcel Da'jon Wagner, 21, who appeared to be asleep aboard the bus near Southwest Roxbury Street and 15th Avenue Southwest, according to charging documents.
In the plea agreement, Rivera Dominguez said he recognized Wagner from having “pulled a gun” on him on the bus a few days prior.
“i was nervous and scared when I saw him on 10/3/23 but he was not threatening me and I was not acting in self-defense,” Rivera Dominguez wrote.
There were 15 other passengers on the bus at the time, but none of them were injured in the shooting.
Rivera Dominguez, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, fled after the incident and remained at large for a month before he turned himself in.
The shooting prompted concerns about safety aboard King County Metro buses. After the shooting, Metro said it would add security to the H Line, expanding transit security officers who patrol buses and transit centers.
Let’s Go Washington launches initiative campaign on trans youth sports, parental rights
Let's Go Washington, the backers of the 2024 initiatives, is looking for signatures again.
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Let's Go Washington is back in the initiative game.
The organization, founded by Brian Heywood, sponsored several initiatives in 2024 changing state law.
Heywood announced Monday signatures are being gathered to submit two initiatives to the 2026 state Legislature or potentially voters. The initiatives relate to parental rights and trans youth athletes.
Heywood's organization achieved significant victories last year when voters supported initiatives restricting natural gas use and overturning state laws limiting police pursuits. The state Legislature also passed Let's Go Washington-backed measures banning income taxes and guaranteeing parental rights to access school records. The success came after Heywood invested more than $5 million of his own money into seven initiatives.
"Someone has to stand up and fight back. And what I think I've done is given the voice. I've given voice to 1.2 million people who signed at least one of our initiatives," Heywood said.
However, the organization faced a setback earlier this year when Gov. Bob Ferguson signed legislation overhauling the "parents bill of rights" initiative.
"It stripped all the parts about parental notification or parental access to information," Heywood said.
In response, Let's Go Washington is now gathering signatures for two new campaigns. The first seeks to overturn Ferguson's recent law, restoring their original parental rights initiative. The second would require physicians to assign genders to youth athletes during physicals, prohibiting those considered males from competing against females.
"Allowing biological males to compete in girls sports is a blatant, a flagrant violation of Title IX, I would argue, and also extremely unfair to girls who've worked really hard to get in a position to be top athletes," Heywood said.
Despite failing to pass initiatives targeting the state's climate law, long-term care savings program, and capital gains tax in 2024, Heywood remains optimistic about his organization's impact.
"Four out of seven, I'm pretty, pretty happy with what we did, and we're not done," he said.
If the organization can collect enough signatures by the end of the year, the issues would be submitted to the state Legislature. Lawmakers could either pass the initiatives or let voters decide in November 2026.
Man ‘violently’ assaults 2 women at Edmonds massage parlor
A man violently assaulted two women at an Edmonds massage parlor on Sunday, according to police. Both were taken to area hospitals for treatment.
EDMONDS, Wash. — A man "violently" assaulted two female employees at an Edmonds massage parlor Sunday evening, according to the Edmonds Police Department.
A 911 caller reported an assault at the business on Edmonds Way just before 6 p.m. A 48-year-old man allegedly attacked the two women and then fled the area on foot.
When police arrived at the massage parlor, they found both women unconscious. One woman was taken to Swedish Edmonds and the other woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of their injuries.
There is no information on their conditions at this time.
Witnesses were able to point police officers in the direction of the suspect, and he was taken into custody nearby. The man made statements to police acknowledging he assaulted the women, but he did not share a motive, Edmonds police said. Detectives are still investigating what led up to the attack.

Firefighter arrests prompt ‘non-interference zone’ ordinance
A Thurston County commissioner says federal agents put politics over public safety.
THURSTON COUNTY, Wash. — The immigration arrests of two firefighters working a wildfire in Mason County have prompted a Thurston County commissioner to propose an ordinance limiting the authority of federal agents during emergency responses.
“We don’t—we don’t like cops coming onto our fires,” said Commissioner Wayne Fournier, an Aberdeen firefighter. “You’ve got to let us do our job. That’s it.”
Last week, the U.S. Border Patrol arrested two firefighters on the Bear Gulch Fire, burning near Lake Cushman.
The fire began in early July and is 10% contained, according to fire information officers.
Fournier called the arrests unacceptable, adding, “Emergency scenes are already hazardous. Jurisdictional overreach only adds confusion, causes delays, and increases risk to life and property.”
Under his proposal, federal agents would be required to “refrain from disrupting emergency operations or interfering with personnel unless there is an immediate and articulable threat to public safety.”
The proposed law would also require federal authorities to obtain warrants and coordinate any enforcement actions with incident commanders, preferably after emergencies are resolved.
“This is not a partisan issue,” Fournier said. “Emergencies should not, you know, they should not be part of any partisan discussion. People’s lives, people’s property, need to be put first.”
One of the detained firefighters, Jose Cruz Estrada, was previously deported following a 2013 drug charge but had stayed out of trouble since returning to the United States in 2019, according to his family.
Fournier emphasized the importance of allowing emergency responders to focus on their duties without interference.
The commissioner encouraged other counties to consider similar protective measures for emergency operations.

Trump wants to remove artifacts of America’s darker past. Museum leaders push back
President Donald Trump said the Smithsonian only discusses "how horrible are country is," but local museum leaders say he misses the deeper story.
SEATTLE — A beacon of American innovation and preservation, the unparalleled collections of the Smithsonian Institution have been deepening our understanding of world culture since the mid-1800s.
But the world's largest museum complex is coming under fire, and long standing exhibits are in jeopardy.
On his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump claimed that the Smithsonian is "out of control, where everything discussed is how horrible our country is, how bad slavery was and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been."
An NBC investigation from May found that at least 32 artifacts were removed from the African American History Museum in Washington, D.C., following an order from Trump directing institutions to remove exhibits that "divide Americans based on race." These artifacts include Harriet Tubman's book of hymns and "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass."
Local leaders from some of Seattle's top museums say there's a deeper story of hardship and triumph that the president is missing in these exhibits.
"This is our history, and our history is very complicated," said Scott Stulen, executive director of the Seattle Art Museum. "There are a lot of parts of it that maybe we aren't so proud of - there are parts of it that we are proud of, but we need to show both of those things."
CEO and President of the Northwest African American Museum, Brandon Bird, emphasized the importance of seeing the full picture of the United States.
"We can't remove certain segments of our history," Bird said. "If we're gonna really share and fully understand the full arc of our nation's history...slavery is part of that fabric of the story. We owe it to all of us, as citizens and as stewards of that history, to make sure we're telling a full, factual story of our local population and beyond."
Stulen said, it hasn't been for very long at all that museums have actually strived to tell the full story of their communities - he said it's important not to go back.
"I think it's a danger if you're having any administration, it doesn't matter what party it is, that's controlling that narrative we want to be basing our stories on, principles and values, and telling a complete history from multiple perspectives. That's the role of museums," Stulen said.
Stulen revealed that the Seattle Art Museum has already lost all of its federal funding over the course of a few years. He estimated the funding losses to be between $400,000 to $700,000.
Bird said at this moment he recognizes there are attempts to remove, or even rewrite parts of U.S. history.
"The momentum is stressful, both as the lead steward of a beautiful museum, but also as an individual citizen," he said. "That said, we've been here before as a country, and we have examples that we can rely upon to remain courageous, supplement our endurance."
Bird said at this time he is leaning into fulfilling the mission of the Northwest African American Museum, which includes using "Black heritage to cultivate healing and hope for all."
"It's through the advancement of our mission where we're really able to elevate our commonality with our diverse population and really create a level of dialogue that honestly contributes to the advancement of our region, and our nation as a whole," Bird said.

Seattle commemorates Waterfront Park on Elliott Bay after 15 years of work
Still ahead are extensions that will connect the park to The Beach at Expedia Group by summer 2026.
SEATTLE — Seattle marked the end of 15 years of construction Saturday with the opening of Waterfront Park on Elliott Bay, a 20-acre, 17-block public space built where the Alaskan Way Viaduct once stood.
City and community groups hosted Meet Me at Waterfront Park on Sept. 6, a ribbon-cutting followed by an all-day celebration with live entertainment, art installations and local food vendors.
Seattle's Pier 58 park to open after years of transformation
The $800 million Waterfront Seattle project rebuilt Alaskan Way between South King and Pike streets, added Elliott Way from Alaskan Way to Bell Street, and created a two-way protected bike lane and a waterfront promenade along Alaskan Way. The project also rebuilt Seneca Street between Western Avenue and Alaskan Way, and Columbia Street between First Avenue and Alaskan Way, with new parking, landscaping and lighting.
The Elliott Way bridge now links the waterfront to Belltown, running from Alaskan Way near Pine Street to Bell Street with two vehicle lanes in each direction, sidewalks and bike paths.
Still ahead are extensions that will connect the park to The Beach at Expedia Group by summer 2026. A coalition called Elliott Bay Connections — whose partners include Melinda Gates and the Downtown Seattle Association — plans to complete a new greenway trail between Waterfront Park and Olympic Sculpture Park.
Also in the coming months, Urban Family Brewing Co. is set to open a 4,000-square-foot brewery with a 4,500-square-foot patio at 1022 Alaskan Way.
That addition will bring the number of Seattle Waterfront businesses to 42, according to Bob Donegan, President and CEO of Ivar's. Donegan tells KING 5 that throughout the many years of construction and pandemic-related hardship leading up to the completion of the Waterfront Park, only four businesses shut their doors during that time.

Beijing’s show of strength unites Xi, Kim and Putin in symbolic walk of solidarity
The three leaders are meeting at the symbolic event to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
HONG KONG, — As Chinese troops prepared to showcase their military strength during a lavish parade in central Beijing, President Xi Jinping was flanked by Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The prominent position of the three leaders at the symbolic event to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II represents a show of unity during ongoing pressure from the United States.
Putin and Kim were among some two dozen top foreign leaders who attended a high-profile event that signals China’s growing diplomatic influence in the Global South and other emerging economies.
While other leaders walked behind the trio towards the viewing platform overlooking Tiananmen Square, Xi and Kim smiled as they chatted through an interpreter. Xi also talked to Putin while they walked.

The Olde Canterbury Ale House Space Is Getting Subdivided
Once upon a time, the Canterbury Ale House was famed far and wide — at least on Capitol Hill — for being a dive, a sprawling bar haunted by literal ghosts as well as plenty of living regulars. Soundgarden played there in 1987, long before anyone cared who Soundgarden were. It changed owners in 2014, and they revamped it into a brighter, more family-friendly space that actually served good food, which some regarded as a sign of the Hill’s gentrification. Then it changed owners again, then closed, then in 2023 the space was turned into a stylish, but short-lived restaurant called Meliora, which closed last year.Now the Canterbury is fading further into the mists of time, Capitol Hill Seattle Blog reports, as the owners of the mixed-use building the bar used to occupy are splitting the 5,000-square-foot space in twain. That’s a huge footprint by restaurant standards, and landlord Meriwether Partners hopes that the two smaller spaces will be more attractive to commercial tenants. There’s no sense yet of whether one or both of those tenants would be bars or restaurants, but Meriwether is open to the idea.There’s one leftover bit of Canterbury legacy that might sweeten the deal for prospective tenants, CHS reports: There’s still a single suit of armor kicking around.Bumbershoot reveals food lineupSeattle’s most famous musical festival has in recent years leaned into the food, and this year is no exception.

For the full lineup, go here.The ‘Seattle Times’ names the sandwich of the summerFinally, the Seattle Times had a fun rundown on the trendy dish du jour, the mortadella sandwich. For the uninitiated, mortadella is bologna’s fancier cousin, and area restaurants have been pairing it with cheese, hot honey, pistachios, and other accoutrements; it’s often served on focaccia, a bread that is a kind of local trend all of its own. Our top pick for a ‘della sandwich, and also one of the Times’ top picks, can be found at Tivoli in Fremont.

There may have been more 49ers fans than Seahawks fans at the season opener
Vivid Seats projected 51% of attendees are 49ers fans, based off of ticket sales data.
SEATTLE — There may have been more San Francisco 49ers fans than Seattle Seahawks fans at the Seahawks’ home opener Sunday.
According to the ticket marketplace Vivid Seats, 49ers fans were projected to make up 51 percent of the crowd at Lumen Field, with people traveling an average of 672 miles for the matchup.
"I'm not surprised," said Jared Lucas, a 49ers fan. "There's no way any team is going to Santa Clara, where we play, and outsell us or beat within an inch of us."
RELATED: Here are 3 takeaways from the Seahawks' 17-13 loss in season opener to the 49ers
Local 49ers fan clubs organized meetups and watch parties across Seattle over the weekend, fueling a takeover vibe.
"I was expecting it because there's just such a tight community. Of course people are going to be traveling out here to support them," said Kenya Guzman, another 49ers fan.
The surge of red and gold is no accident.
The 49ers have long been known for their traveling fan base. In Los Angeles, some people even call the Rams’ SoFi Stadium “Levi’s South” — a reference to the 49ers' home stadium, Levi’s Stadium.
"There is a lot of red out here. Since we're so close to each other, it's easier to fly here, I guess," said Laurie Cowling, a Seahawks fan.
For Seahawks fans, the optics sting. Once considered one of the NFL's most intimidating venues, Lumen Field saw its home-field advantage slip last season, with Seattle finishing just 3–6 at home. The influx of rival fans only adds to concerns about whether the “12s” can reclaim their dominance this year.
The rivalry between these NFC West foes is already one of the league's fiercest, and this season opener was expected to set the tone.
Ultimately, the San Francisco 49ers took the win, 17–3.
