Trump's Wild Judicial Pick in Washington | Seattle News 16.09.2026 1λTrump shocks Washington with surprise nomination of Pete Serrano, a GOP firebrand and gun rights advocate who’s never held federal office—despite running for AG last year and leading a vocal anti-mandate group.

Senators are united in opposition, insisting on a nominee who follows the law—not political loyalty—and are leveraging the historic “blue slip” power to block him. Trump’s furious at the tradition, calling it outdated and threatening legal battle to scrap it all. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Fifteen-Year-Old Faces Juvenile or Adult Trial | Seattle News 16.09.2026 1λA 15-year-old from Fall City is back in court facing charges for allegedly murdering his parents and three siblings—and injuring his younger sister—in a brutal October 2024 attack.

Boating Accident Turns Into Legal Battle | Seattle News 16.09.2026 1λFifty-one-year-old Justin Erickson just pleaded not guilty to serious boating charges after allegedly crashing into a smaller vessel near Boston Harbor, seriously injuring 21-year-old Jack Edwards. Accused of fleeing the scene and failing to stop after the collision, Erickson’s case was transferred to Pierce County prosecutors due to a conflict-of-interest recusal. Though no BUI charge was filed initially — because no blood test was taken — the judge imposed strict conditions for his release: no alcohol or drugs (unless prescribed), no contact with victim or witnesses, and notably, no operating any boats — even though that wasn’t requested. His lawyer plans to interview witnesses, which the prosecutor approved as long as they submit a witness list. Key dates ahead: confirmation hearing November 25, jury trial tentatively set for December 7. This one’s sure to heat up in court.

PNW Governments Sue Over Illegal Funding Conditions | Seattle News 15.09.2026 2λPacific Northwest governments are suing the federal government over new grant conditions they say force local agencies to adopt anti-DEI, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ+, and anti-abortion policies — all as a condition for receiving congressionally approved funds.
