Commercial beekeepers face a myriad of challenges, including parasites, toxic contaminants, thievery, starvation and climate change. Bees are dying in considerable numbers, not just here in Central Washington but across the country. These pollinators are a cornerstone to the world around us and they’re threatened from virtually every angle, threats best seen through the niche beekeeping industry responsible for an estimated third of the national food supply.

Chittenden Locks in Ballard on Friday as part of annual maintenance cleaning. The 55-foot-deep chamber was drained of water beforehand. Juvenile salmon passing through the Locks to Puget Sound have no easy passageway through the Locks. In fact, a significant number travel through a hazardous passageway — the large lock-filling tunnels. The fast water and sharp barnacles sometimes de-scale the juveniles, causing injury or even death. Scraping the barnacles off the tunnel walls helps ensure safe passage for the salmon.

Al, who was homeless himself many years ago, is part of the city’s downtown activation program - a combination of arrests and street cleanings that has slowly had an effect in getting people off the streets. However Al believes what the city needs is more treatment centers to solve its homeless problem. “Sometimes I sympathize for them,” he says. “because I do remember what I went through when I was trying to get it together. But in the meantime, it's just me out here trying to clean up the feces, the urine, the vomit, you know, oil everywhere.” Ryan says he spends every night out here. He can’t walk because his knees hurt. Someone gave him money and he bought a coffee from McDonalds. He says he doesn't use drugs because he doesn't have money for that.

A tradition in Seattle for 75 years, the pirates have a reputation for drinking alcohol and targeting women. “We’ve seen the Pirate organization evolve, or devolve, and it hasn’t been a great mix for our family audience,” said the director of public affairs at the Seattle Aquarium in 2017. Back in the 1990’s the Seafair Pirates said they wanted to scuttle their reputation as womanizing rogues and boozers and replace it with a more politically correct image. Today they are busy almost every weekend in the summer making appearances in parades, hospitals and nursing homes. According to their website, prospective pirates are tested for year to ensure they can safely entertain and interact with the community.

Until around the year 2000, fishing on the Egegik North Line was lively and lucrative. Bristol Bay is home to the world's largest sockeyesalmon fishery. The commercial salmon drift gillnet fishing fleet is limited to boats no longer than 32 feet in length There were over 1,800 permanent entry permits listed in 2002 which each vessel is required to have. Typically boats fish with two or three deckhands. Peak of the season is around July 4th in this fishery which lasts about a month. The rivers also get a fair amount of chum, king, and chinook salmon.

Temperatures reached into 90's in Anchorage - 25 degrees above average - a record high. Rising water temperatures throughout the summer caused an estimated 100,000 fish to die. The average price paid to fishermen this year for sockeye salmon was $1.35 per pound. Sockeye is a highly valued species of salmon known for its red meat and steaklike quality.

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez runs in a rematch against Republican challenger Joe Kent, the Trump-endorsed Green Beret veteran she narrowly beat two years ago in one of the biggest upsets of the midterm election. An auto shop owner, she did it with a sort of rural whisperer approach, steering the conversation away from national hot-button topics and toward local concerns and bipartisan cooperation. The race offers voters in Southwest Washington a stark ideological choice. Gluesenkamp Perez co-chairs the Blue Dog Coalition of centrist rural Democrats. If elected, Kent says he’d join the House Freedom Caucus, the most conservative bloc of the House GOP. Polls show the race neck and neck. The race gained additional attention when an arson attack struck a ballot box in Vancouver - the district’s biggest city - scorching hundreds of ballots. In this photo U.S. Rep.

A recent report by the the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and Bellevue-based Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM) analyzing COVID-19 data highlight the pandemic’s disproportionate and increasing impact on communities of color. Case rates over the pandemic for Hispanic people and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander people are nine times higher than those of White people. Hospitalization rates are seven times higher for Hispanics and ten times higher for Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders than those of White people. “We know the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the health inequities historically marginalized and oppressed communities already experience,” said Dr. Kathy Lofy, state health officer at DOH. “These data are deeply concerning and underline the critical need to address the COVID-19 impacts we’re currently seeing by prioritizing outreach, testing, education and related materials for disproportionately impacted communities in ways that are culturally and linguistically appropriate and accessible.” Joseph Seia from the Pacific Islander Community Association, “We have the highest infection rates, highest hospitalization rates. Not just here in Washington State for Pacific Islanders, but throughout this, the country and places like California, Oregon, Arkansas. And so we know our communities as most impacted during this crisis because of decades of health disparities, and systems that are unresponsive to Pacific Islander community health needs.” https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfd749b6/images/Ducey-Covid-Chinatown-2020-11.jpg • Covid-19 - Seattle's C-ID | Seattle photojournalist Karen Ducey | news and documentary photographer View • Covid-19 - Seattle's C-ID by Seattle photojournalist Karen Ducey | news and documentary photographer. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfd749b6/images/Ducey-coronavirus-110.jpg • Covid-19 - Seattle's C-ID | Seattle photojournalist Karen Ducey | news and documentary photographer View • Covid-19 - Seattle's C-ID by Seattle photojournalist Karen Ducey | news and documentary photographer. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfd749b6/images/Ducey-Covid-Chinatown-2020-13.jpg • Covid-19 - Seattle's C-ID | Seattle photojournalist Karen Ducey | news and documentary photographer View • Covid-19 - Seattle's C-ID by Seattle photojournalist Karen Ducey | news and documentary photographer. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfd749b6/images/Ducey-Covid-Chinatown-2020-02.jpg Teresa Moy (R) drops off face cream and pears for her mother i in-law, Suit Moy, at the International Community Health Services’ assisted living facility, the Legacy House, on March 20, 2020 in Seattle, Washington.

He turned 16 just four days after accidentally shooting his brother, and the state charged him as an adult. He faces eight years in jail. He was detained in adult prison twice during his year on home detention, this time for going to football practice after school without the knowledge of his social worker. © Karen Ducey/ Seattle PI https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfd749b6/images/JOKE-005.jpg This is No Joke – sentence Weeks after Michael's death, Michael and Jordan’s parents, Tim Miller, left, Lena Jantoc, and Jordan’s biological father, Lorenzo Jantoc, react with relief in the King County Courthouse after a judge announced that Jordan would be placed under house arrest and could leave jail.

After that time is served, Jordan and his father will be required to speak to the community about the dangers of firearms. "In court it's kind of scary," he says "and having my family there definitely helps because I know that they’re supportive and will be with me forever." © Karen Ducey/ Seattle/PI https://karenducey.com/%E2%80%A2-seattle's-deaf-blind-community monthly 0.8 https://karenducey.com/%E2%80%A2-bering-sea-crab monthly 0.8 https://karenducey.com/captivity monthly 0.8 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebfd749b6/images/captivity-reptile-lizard-2.jpg A Rhino Iguana named "Doc" stares out the window of it's enclosure towards a parking lot at the Reptile Zoo in Monroe, Wash. on July 13, 2016.
