Oregon’s New EV Fees Spark Debate

Garlic Bread, Community, and Survival

From a tiny picnic three years ago to a global gathering in Seattle’s park, “Gays Eating Garlic Bread in the Park” has become a beloved community event where strangers bond over bread, friendship bracelets, and the simple joy of being seen. Now facing rising costs and logistical hurdles, organizers are turning to nonprofit status to keep this quirky, heartwarming tradition alive — proving that sometimes, the most powerful connections start with a single slice of garlic bread.

Seattle’s Hot Start to World Cup

Seattle’s World Cup kickoff is heating up—literally—with a forecast of 90°F, smashing June records and arriving three weeks early. While locals brace for an unusual heatwave, Egyptian players may have an edge, and Belgian athletes could feel the chill. Fans are advised to hydrate, thanks to new stadium water bottle rules, and to wear sun protection—Lumen Field’s shade covers 70% of seats. FIFA’s heat protocols include mandatory water breaks and cooled benches. The blast won’t last: temps drop to the 70s by Wednesday.

Seattle’s Wave Origin Story

Seattle might just be the birthplace of “The Wave” — the stadium phenomenon that now sweeps across the globe. Robb Weller, a UW yell leader in the early 70s, claims he invented it to hype fans and rattle opponents, with a 1981 game even syncing the wave with a big play. While others like Krazy George and the 1986 World Cup credit the wave’s rise, Weller stands firm — and proudly admits he’s never profited from it, even joking he sold apples to make ends meet. But he sees the wave as pure fan magic, a shared moment of joy fans can’t score on their own. With Seattle set to host World Cup games, Weller’s expecting the wave to roar back — a homecoming for a global ritual that started right here.

Washington Bans Guns After Two DUIs

Washington’s top court just handed down a bold new ruling: two DUIs within seven years strips you of gun rights. The majority says it’s for public safety, linking repeat drunk driving to future violence risk — and they’re not asking for proof of individual threat. The dissent? Furious. They argue this violates the Second Amendment by punishing people based on assumptions, not actual violence. Now, convicted folks must wait five years of clean behavior and petition to get their rights back — a move that’s sparking national debate over how far states can go in regulating firearms after nonviolent crimes.
