Shell’s Arctic Drilling Rig Hearing Scheduled for July 23: The Port of Seattle and Foss Maritime finally have a date for their hearing to appeal the city’s determination that the port’s land-use permit isn’t in compliance with its ability to host Shell’s Polar Pioneer. The city had set a deadline of June 4 to remove the Polar Pioneer from Terminal 5, but Foss Maritime (the company that is leasing the space for Shell) delayed it. The Polar Pioneer is expected to leave Terminal 5 sometime this month—well before the July 23 hearing.

However, Seattle is still ahead of San Jose and above the national average of 15.5 percent.

Whooping Cough Cases on the Rise in Washington State: So far this year, there have been more than 600 cases of whooping cough, mostly in children, whereas a year ago at this time, there were only about 120 cases.
