North Tacoma Club Shakes Up Soccer | Seattle News

North Tacoma Soccer Club’s explosive growth—now managing over fifty teams across all ages and genders—shows how community-driven programs can rival elite clubs. Their U-17 squad’s national championship win proves local talent can shine without big budgets. While elite teams charge $15K, North Tacoma keeps fees under $2K with financial aid, highlighting the U.S.’s pay-to-play gap. Unlike Europe’s player-funded systems, America’s funding model leaves grassroots clubs struggling. With the World Cup buzzing, the club’s rallying cry? Local support—because these are the kids playing right in your neighborhood. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Washington Pays Striking Workers | Seattle News

Washington just became the first state to pay striking workers unemployment benefits — a bold new law that’s already sent $500K to 138 people on the picket line. Union members can now get financial support for up to six weeks, giving them real leverage in contract fights. Workers at Seattle’s Hilton Embassy Suites are among the first to apply, demanding better pay, healthcare, and staffing — ready for a long haul. Passed by Democrats last year without Republican support, the law aims to empower low-wage workers by removing the financial pressure that forces them to accept bad deals. The state is monitoring the unemployment fund closely — and could impose new business taxes if it strains. This program runs until 2035, and could reshape labor power across the state.

West Seattle Fest Goes Zero Waste | Seattle News

West Seattle Summerfest just pulled off a major eco-win: it’s the first major Seattle festival to go fully single-use waste-free, using 65,000 reusable dishes that save vendors money and cut trash.

It’s smooth, convenient, and even fun, like dining at a restaurant. Vendors love it — slashing costs while boosting sustainability. And for guests? No more confusing compost vs. trash bins. This bold move isn’t just cleaning up the event — it’s setting a new standard for future gatherings, proving big events can ditch plastic without hassle.
