The 11 worked at Nippon from a few months to more than 15 years. One had planned to leave early Tuesday for his wife’s ultrasound appointment for their unborn child. Another was a grandfather. Two were brothers.

At least 1 person was killed and 9 were injured after an implosion at a pulp and paper mill in Longview, Washington. Nine employees remain missing.

Authorities first estimated the tank had 80,000 gallons of liquid. It actually contained 900,000 gallons.

Last week, a massive fin whale got stranded on a Washington beach and died. Hundreds descended on Samish Island to see the endangered animal. And residents had a 40-ton decomposing carcass in their backyards.

NOAA wouldn’t move the whale. Now what?

[Paige Cornwell @pgcornwell]

The Samish Island community has set up a GoFundMe to help pay off the costs of moving a 40-ton whale, like the float bags that cost $9,000. The residents didn't receive any government funding.

Let the record show: Blowing up the whale was never an option (see: the Great Oregon Whale Explosion Disaster of 1970) but someone did bring up using a helicopter to move the 80,000 pound whale.

In the end, a commercial fishing vessel did the trick.

@ByEliott @AlexaVaughn The Seattle Times doesn’t have an AI adoption — that’s what we’re bargaining over. We continue the fight and appreciate your support!

Well worth your time today:

What a beautiful quote on navigating grief from @schwaarzy's story on a Mariners fan who takes strangers to baseball games as she mourns the loss of her son

An Auburn woman was 27 weeks pregnant when she was shot and killed, allegedly by her husband during an argument. Homicide at the hands of a partner is among the leading causes of death of pregnant women nationally, according to health researchers. https://t.co/WLyDxqYS7O

@AlexaVaughn @TheNeedling We remain at the bargaining table and it will likely be a long negotiation process, which is why we appreciate support from readers and former Times employees like you!

For this Pulitzer-finalist work, dozens of Seattle Times journalists produced more than 100 stories about Western Washington’s devastating floods that forced thousands to evacuate their homes and caused millions of $ in damage.

On a related note, these were human journalists.

[Paige Cornwell @pgcornwell]

Honored to be a part of the @seattletimes team named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for our coverage of the catastrophic floods that devastated Western Washington in December 2025.
