埃弗雷特(Everett)偷来的大货车撞警车 五名警员送医

Stolen semi rams patrol cars in Everett; five officers hospitalized

周四早上六点21分，埃弗雷特(Everett)百老汇路一家超市停车场有人报案，说一辆半挂大货车被偷；县警发现它往南上了州际公路，随后拐进银湖一带的住宅区。埃弗雷特警方放出无人机跟踪，办案人员称司机反复故意撞击载人警车，四名市警和一名县警受伤送医，检方说伤者有疼痛、瘀伤、擦伤，可能还有脑震荡，一位市警戴上了颈托。周五斯诺霍米什县地区法院认定16项罪名有相当理由，把这名33岁男子的保释金定为30万美元。

At 6:21 a.m. Thursday an employee reported a semi-truck stolen from a supermarket parking lot on Broadway in Everett; deputies spotted it heading south on the interstate before it turned into the Silver Lake neighborhood. Everett police tracked it with a drone, and investigators say the driver repeatedly and deliberately rammed occupied patrol cars, sending four city officers and one sheriff's deputy to hospital; prosecutors said they were treated for pain, bruising, abrasions and possible concussions, and one Everett officer was placed in a cervical collar. On Friday a Snohomish County District Court judge found probable cause for 16 offenses and set bail for the 33-year-old at $300,000.

先锋广场一家酒店因合同谈不拢停工85天 双方达成临时协议

Pioneer Square hotel workers end an 85-day walkout after a tentative agreement

先锋广场的Embassy Suites酒店，员工要的是加薪、全年医保和恢复疫情前的人手，跟资方谈不拢，就在门口设岗停工。这一停就是85天，成了华州历史上最长的一次酒店停工。周五，希尔顿方面宣布与工会达成一份临时劳资协议，员工结束停工；据《西雅图时报》，客房清洁工的起薪将涨到每小时31块零三，是全州工会酒店里最高的。

Workers at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Pioneer Square walked out over wages, year-round health coverage and a return to pre-pandemic staffing, and picketed the door for 85 days — the longest hotel strike in Washington history. On Friday Hilton announced a tentative labor agreement with UNITE HERE Local 8 and the workers ended the strike. Per The Seattle Times, housekeepers' starting pay will rise to $31.03 an hour, the highest for union housekeepers in the state.

麦克拉奇报系裁员 华州四家地方报纸受波及

McClatchy layoffs hit four Washington newspapers

麦克拉奇（McClatchy）是一家拥有全美30家报纸的报业公司，周四在旗下几十家报纸同时裁员，华州四家、爱达荷州一家在内。工会说，华州和爱达荷州的工会会员被裁掉三分之一，其中爱达荷州人报10人，塔科马(Tacoma)《新闻论坛报》、《奥林匹亚人报》、《贝灵汉先驱报》、《三城先驱报》共七人，被裁的多是跑市政府、州政府、学校和调查报道的记者，10月11号正式生效。公司内部信说，过去5年地方报纸的订户收入掉了41%，开支却没降。

McClatchy, a chain that owns 30 newspapers nationwide, cut jobs at dozens of its titles on Thursday, including four in Washington and one in Idaho. The newsroom union says a third of its members across the two states were laid off — 10 at the Idaho Statesman and seven across The News Tribune in Tacoma, The Olympian, The Bellingham Herald and The Tri-City Herald — mostly reporters covering city hall, state government, schools and investigations, effective Oct. 11. An internal memo said consumer revenue from local papers has fallen 41% over five years while expenses stayed flat.

11月3号投票在即 金县选务处教您把票投稳

King County Elections on how to make sure your November 3 ballot counts

11月3号是中期选举投票日，最近关于邮寄选票的消息很多，金县选务处出面说明：联邦层面没有任何提案要取消邮寄投票或恢复全面投票站，眼下真正的变数是邮局递送。8月初选时，金县已有70%选票是投进官方投票箱的，选务处预计11月这个比例还会更高。选务处建议：10月26号前上网或寄信更新选民登记（当日到现场登记也行），并订阅选票追踪短信或邮件通知，看得到自己的票寄出、收到、签名核对到哪一步。

Nov. 3 is the midterm election, and amid a run of news about mail ballots King County Elections says there is no federal proposal to end voting by mail or bring back full polling places; the real variable is postal delivery. In the August primary 70% of King County ballots came back through official drop boxes, and the county expects that share to be higher in November. Elections staff advise updating your voter registration online or by mail by Oct. 26 (in person right through election day) and signing up for ballot alerts that text or email you when your ballot is mailed, received and signature-checked.

州教育委员会拟把外语学分移出高中毕业硬要求

State board would move world-language credits out of core graduation requirements

华州现在的高中毕业要修满24个学分，其中两个是外语学分，中文、日文都算在里面。先要说明的是，按现行规定，2024届起这两个外语学分本来就允许用一个叫「个性化路径」的类别替换掉。州教育委员会9月10号表决通过的这项立法提案，是要把这份弹性写进法律、并扩大到整个毕业框架，目标是2031届。提案将送2027至28年度州议会会期审议；家里有孙辈在读高中、指望学校那门中文课的，接下来1年值得盯着。

Washington's high school diploma requires 24 credits, two of them in a world language — Chinese and Japanese among them. Under current rules, for the Class of 2024 and after, those two credits may already be swapped for a category called the Personalized Pathway Requirement. What the State Board of Education approved on Sept. 10 is a legislative proposal that would write that flexibility into law and extend it across the whole graduation framework, aimed at the Class of 2031. It goes to the 2027-28 legislative session, so families counting on the school's Chinese class have a year to watch it.

一种绿甲虫首次在华州确认 白蜡树恐难保

A metallic green beetle is confirmed in Washington for the first time; ash trees at risk

花曲柳窄吉丁（emerald ash borer）是一种半英寸长的绿色甲虫，原产东亚，钻进白蜡树皮下啃食输送水分养分的那层组织，把树从里面弄死，全美已经死了1亿多棵白蜡树，中招的树几乎无一幸免。8月初，两个人在华州温哥华(Vancouver，华州西南角、与俄勒冈州隔河相望)附近发现挡风玻璃上有只没见过的虫子，收起来上报；8月19号联邦检测确认就是它，这是华州第一次确认。它2022年先在俄勒冈州Forest Grove露头，一路沿5号公路走廊北上；院子里有白蜡树的，可留意树皮上D字形的小洞和顶端枯枝。

The emerald ash borer is a half-inch metallic green beetle native to East Asia that burrows under ash bark and eats the tissue carrying water and nutrients, killing the tree from the inside; it has already killed more than 100 million ash trees in the U.S., with almost no infested tree surviving. In early August two people near Vancouver, Washington — in the state's southwest corner, across the river from Oregon — found an unfamiliar insect on their windshield and reported it; federal testing confirmed it on Aug. 19, the first confirmation in the state. It first appeared on the West Coast at Forest Grove, Oregon in 2022 and has been moving north along the I-5 corridor; anyone with an ash tree in the yard can watch for D-shaped exit holes in the bark and dieback at the crown.
