UW stabbing case: A 31-year-old Bellevue man turned himself in and appeared in court after police released photos in the killing of 19-year-old Juniper Blessing, a UW transgender student. A judge found probable cause for premeditated first-degree murder and set $10 million bail, citing the “horrific” attack—40 stab wounds. Federal money: Washington is getting $538M in delayed COVID-era reimbursements from FEMA, including $263M for the state Department of Health, after years of lag. Benefits squeeze: Food stamp enrollment in Washington dropped from 548,000 households (March 2025) to 525,000 (March 2026), with noncitizen participation down about 23% as fewer immigrants use the state’s Basic Food program. Courts & schools: A judge rejected a lawsuit trying to block the 2025 rewrite of Washington’s parental rights law. Sports/entertainment: Starbucks announced more corporate layoffs, and the NFL doubled down on a Wednesday kickoff idea as it rolls out the 2026 schedule.
