Aurora Bridge closures ramp up starting Thursday: One lane will be closed in each direction on the Aurora Bridge for 10 days starting today. The reason? Emergency bridge repairs. The closures will start tonight at 9 p.m. A worrisome sentence in this KING 5 article: "Gaines said bridges are built to last at least 75 years. The Aurora Bridge is almost 90 years old." Good thing crews are patching it up. While we're on the subject, you know what would impact future bridge repairs? In a bad way? Tim Eyman's Initiative 976. Vote against that.

The impeachment vote is happening: Meaning that the US House of Representatives is voting on a resolution that will steer the impeachment process. This will be the House's first formal vote on the inquiry. The rules that will be drafted today will dictate how public hearings go and the rules for drafting up the articles of impeachment. While all this is happening, Timothy Morrison, the former senior director for Russian affairs at the National Security Council, is testifying in a closed hearing.

The MLS Cup will be in Seattle: For the third time in four seasons, the Sounders will be in the Major League Soccer final. For the first time in history, that game will be held in Seattle with the Sounders playing. The Sounders will be playing Toronto FC, who soundly beat Atlanta United 2-1 last night. The Cup is on Sunday, November 10, at noon.

DNA databases are hackable: According to the University of Washington, when people take results from DNA testing services to third-party sites, that information becomes vulnerable. This means that someone could easily "use a small number of DNA comparisons to extract someone's sensitive genetic markers to create fake genetic profiles to impersonate someone's relative." That seems... not good. I don't want my DNA hacked.

Man who attacked three people on Portland light rail won't get death penalty: Remember this horror story? A man on the Portland light rail stabbed two people to death and badly wounded a third. The man, Jeremy Christian, may not get the death penalty because of a motion filed by prosecutors to alter his charges. If the motion is approved, Christian will not be eligible for the death penalty under Oregon state law.

Happy Halloween: There is nothing spooky about this forecast.

Starbucks wants you to be civically engaged: Ten Starbucks in Seattle will be hosting "Wake Up and Vote" events on Election Day on Tuesday, November 5. There will be free coffee and information about drop boxes as well as some "why civic engagement is crucial" 101. Starbucks is not telling people who to vote for, but they really want to crack down on public safety issues and have an accountable city council, which is basically telling you who they want you to vote for.

Facebook censors sexy fruits and vegetables: Forget hate speech, Facebook is going after what's really wrong on its platforms. The social-media giant doesn't want you using the horny emojis. No more suggestive eggplants. You can forget about that juicy peach. Facebook wants only clean fruit and veggie usage. If you say anything remotely sexy with a peach or an eggplant, that's "Sexual Solicitation," bucko, and that's against the rules. But if you're a Nazi, that's fine.

WE'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN WE SEE IT, GEORGE: Either he's lying or he has no intention of writing a TV prequel.

Twelfth time's a charm? North Korea did its twelfth missile launch this year. The country fired two missiles into the East Sea.

Santa Ana winds as "bad as we’ve ever seen" says fire chief: California is under siege. Hurricane-force winds are buffeting Southern California. The Simi Valley Fire, or Easy Fire, that ignited yesterday was apocalyptic. It was also zero percent contained as of Wednesday night. Winds could reach anywhere from 50 to 80 miles per hour. Everywhere is vulnerable. Diablo winds up north are also fueling the Kincade Fire.

High-school principal fired over Holocaust: Because he said he couldn't confirm that the Holocaust was a "factual event." The high school is in Florida.

The Washington Nationals win: They beat the Astros in Game 7 of the World Series and secured the franchise's first title.

Donald Trump Jr. bemoans his heritage: Donald Trump's eldest chucklehead-of-a-son told Fox News that he "wished his name was Hunter Biden so he could 'make millions off my father's presidency.'” Don Jr. currently runs his father's business.
