Avalanche Warning in Cascades: Dense Snow and Rain Increase Danger

The Cascades have been issued a level 4 avalanche warning due to intense and dense snowfall following a dry November. The snowpack, especially on steeper slopes, is highly unstable and at risk of avalanches, both natural and human-induced. Meteorologist Robert Hahn warns of the dangers posed by the rapidly accumulating snow on weak early-season snowpack. The situation may worsen with expected heavy rain, heightening the avalanche threat and potential for flooding in Western Washington.

Gunfire and Chaos in Rainier Vista: Inside the Terrifying Incident that Rocked a Quiet Neighborhood

On December 2, 2023, in South Seattle's Rainier Vista neighborhood, a shootout occurred between two men, resulting in serious injuries for both. The incident started with gunfire and led to a car crash. Witnesses saw the two men exchanging gunfire. One, a 21-year-old, was shot, then crashed a black vehicle on South Alaska Street and South Columbian Way. He was hospitalized with a leg wound. The second man, also in his 20s, was taken in a red vehicle to the same hospital, suffering from a gunshot wound. Seattle Police's Gun Violence Reduction Unit is investigating. The driver of the red vehicle remains unidentified, and the police are seeking information from the public.
