Smith Demands Trump Removed From Office | Seattle News

Congressman Adam Smith is sounding the alarm, calling for President Trump’s removal over what he calls an “authoritarian takeover,” warning it’s endangering lives and global stability. Though hesitant about impeachment as a tool, Smith insists action is urgent and believes Republicans in Congress or the Cabinet must step in. This isn’t his first major political pivot — he was the first Washington lawmaker to urge Biden to drop his reelection bid in July. Now facing a tough reelection battle himself, Smith’s opponent is Kshama Sawant, a socialist firebrand. The political landscape remains tense and unpredictable as officials weigh next moves.

Millionaires Tax Battle Heats Up | Seattle News

Governor Bob Ferguson is locked in a high-stakes battle to defend Washington’s Millionaires Tax, facing a repeal effort led by conservative activist Brian Heywood and his group “Let’s Go Washington,” which collected over half a million signatures. The tax, expected to generate $3 billion annually, funds vital programs like education, childcare, and food security — and also includes expanding the Working Families Tax Credit and eliminating sales tax on diapers and health essentials. Ferguson warns that repealing the tax means cutting critical services, while Heywood argues the state’s budget can cover these needs without the tax, claiming funds are misallocated. Surprisingly, some wealthy residents, including tech exec Brian Kirshner, support the tax, saying it’s not about tax cuts but fairness — and repealing it would hurt everyone. Amid rising unemployment — Washington’s second-highest in the nation — Ferguson counters that the state is still improving its business climate, proving the tax doesn’t hinder economic growth.

Sonics Return Feasible by 2028 | Seattle News

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is moving forward with expansion, with Seattle emerging as a top contender to bring back the Sonics — and fans are rallying behind the dream. With a ready-made arena, strong local support including Governor Bob Ferguson, and high-profile backers like Samantha Holloway and Melinda French Gates leading the bid, Seattle’s chances are heating up. The league aims to finalize decisions by year’s end, with potential new teams possibly playing as early as 2028 or 2029.
