Hey, I'm Ton Vin, host of Seattle Eats, a fruit podcast from the Seattle Times and KOWW.

Seattle's waterfront got an $800 million makeover to create a vibrant public space.

But is it a tourist trap?

I'll tell you where to get a good bite with raving the crowds.

Listen to Seattle Eats on the KOWW app or wherever you get your podcast.

Hey, good morning. I'm Patricia Murphy. It's Wednesday. This is Seattle now. More than a quarter of people living unhoused in the city

are sleeping in a vehicle. And Seattle's 72-hour parking law means that anyone stuck in one place

is in a precarious position. An RV law set up for people experiencing homelessness since

2023 is being reclaimed for a pickleball court complex.

But as Seattle Times Homelessness Reporter Greg Kim explains, the development is more complicated

than it seems. We'll hear more about that in a minute, but first, let's get you caught up.

Maybe draw the shades in your living space today. It is going to be hot in Seattle. The National Weather Service is predicting sunny skies and temperatures into the mid-80s. If you're dreading the heat, just hold tight. There's a chance of rain tomorrow morning. Highs will be about 67. The federal government canceled a $50,000 grant to the Burke Museum at the University of Washington. The UW Daily

reports the funding was initially awarded last spring for an exhibit called Woveen in Wool. It features

Coast Salish Art. Earlier this month, the National Endowment for the Arts canceled

the grant saying it's not aligned with the NEA's priorities. According to the paper, the exhibit

will open this fall despite the federal cuts. Under President Trump's new policies, the Burke Museum

has also lost grant funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

And the popular Tiger Mountain Trailhead is going to close for the summer for renovation.

The trailhead closes June 9th. It won't reopen until November.

Washington's Department of Natural Resources says the current parking lot is no longer big enough.

The renovation will triple the number of parking spaces, add ADA parking,

and increase accessibility for hikers and mountain bikers. DNR officials say the trail system will remain open. You just won't be able to park at the trailhead. Check back for more headlines
