Summary
As Seattle prepares to welcome hundreds of thousands of World Cup visitors, business leaders are calling for additional security measures and renewed focus on public safety. We break down the debate over surveillance cameras, the economic stakes for local businesses, and what city leaders are doing ahead of kickoff. Plus, Washington's WA Cares program is encouraging previously exempt workers to opt back in, raising fresh questions about taxes, benefits, and long-term costs. Also: New developments in the Longview industrial disaster investigation. #Seattle #WorldCup2026 #WACares #WashingtonState #PublicSafety #Taxes #Taxpayer #SeattleNews #BusinessNews #Longview
