Hey, good morning. I'm Patricia Murphy. It's Thursday. This is Seattle now. West Coast states are teaming up to issue their own vaccine guidelines in the face of rapid changes at the CDC and the FDA. The federal turmoil has some people wondering what this means for their seasonal shots. Udub's Dr. Helen Chu is here to clarify what you need to know about vaccines,

illnesses, and insurance coverage this year. But first, let's get you caught up.

The tech company Oracle is laying off more than 100 workers in Seattle, according to a new state filing.

The cuts include software engineers and salespeople. That's in addition to an August layoff announcement that will impact more than 160 people.

Geekwire reports the company has expanded its Seattle workforce over the past decade and employs more than 3,800 people here.

As Seattle population has grown over the past several years, here's something that hasn't kept pace.

Cars.

The Seattle Times reports the number of vehicles owned by Seattleites since 2017 has basically gone unchanged.

During that time, the city's population grew by 35,000 people.

According to the paper, nine out of ten households without cars were renters, not homeowners.

And the first mayoral debate between Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and Katie Wilson is on the calendar.

The two will square off Friday, October 3rd at 8 p.m. The moderators are King 5 news anchor Mimi Jung and Seattle Times reporter David Cromen. It'll air live on King 5 TV and stream online as well. Check back for more headlines on tonight's episode of Seattle Now.
