The idea is simple. You donate your unused airline miles. The Make-A-Wish Foundation then uses them to help grant wishes for local kids dealing with critical illness. Jesse Ellenbos is Interim Communications and Marketing Manager at Make-A-Wish Alaska in Washington. She spent 13 years as the Senior Wish Manager. When a child can make a wish that allows them to go somewhere on a trip with their families, it really is for the whole family. And it does give them that strength and courage and reset that they need to make  see the world again and to find something to be happy about.

I took care of them at home as long as I could. Eventually, they had to go to a nursing home. They didn't want to go. They thought their nest egg would be enough to keep them at home.  But it wasn't. My parents did all the right things to plan for retirement, but my life was turned upside down by their needs. I don't want to do that to my kids. So I attended a free retirement planning seminar with Rajiv Nagayich. I'm so glad I did. Rajiv showed me how to create a retirement plan that will help me age at home without running out of money and without turning my kids into my unpaid caregivers. My advice to you, listen to what Rajiv says and then do it.  There's a free retirement planning seminar near you. Federal Way on August 3rd. Puyallup on August 6th.

The Pentagon's confirmed three September 11th defendants reached plea agreements with prosecutors, including mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. It says the White House played no role in the process.  Former President Trump wants to know when Vice President Kamala Harris became black. She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black? She is always identified as a black woman. I respect either one.  The president in a question and answer session at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention, which was co-moderated by ABC's Rachel Scott.

SWAT teams still have surrounded an Everett Motel 6 after reports of a 48-year-old man inside possibly armed with a gun and holding a young child. A little before 10, they responded to the 911 of an assault with a weapon.  It had attempted to make contact with the man, but people staying in the Motel 6 were evacuated. And according to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, the man barricaded himself in the room with a woman and a child. The woman was able to safely get out, but they believe the child is still in there with the man. And again, we're keeping tabs on this. We'll bring you the updates as we get them.  Boeing has hired a new CEO. Starting August 8th, Kelly Ortberg will take the yoke of the troubled company. But even more telling is the fact that he'll be based in Seattle. Aviation analyst Scott Hamilton says it could be the first step in moving the company's headquarters back to western Washington. You know, if the CEO is going to be here, you want your chief financial officer to be here. You want your chief operating officer here. You want your executive team here. Ortberg's final first task will be to work out a new deal with local machinists as their contract expires in September.  Four suspects are now charged in the murder of 13-year-old Matthew Stokovuy earlier this month in Kent's Turnkey Park. One of them was charged last week, the others charged Tuesday, and suspects range in age from 16 to 20. In new court papers, prosecutors underscored just how much of a setup.  This really was, saying the suspects, quote, planned an approach route. They had a getaway drive. They arrived early so they could stage themselves. This shows a surprising amount of planning. Prosecutors also say this case almost became a double tragedy. That's because they say Matthew's sister narrowly avoided being shot herself as she and her brother made a frantic attempt to escape this robbery and ambush.  And despite their young ages, bail for each of those suspects is $2 million. That's Como 4's Ryan Sims reporting. A King County Sheriff's Office revising its pursuit policy. Effective tomorrow, deputies will be allowed to give chase for felony crimes and non-felony crimes against a person where there is an imminent and ongoing threat.  The new policy also allows for pursuits following a burglary. The changes come amid a rollback of state restrictions on when officers could initiate a pursuit. In a statement, Sheriff Patty Cole-Dindle said, quote, I have the confidence in the good judgment of our deputies when weighing the dangers of a chase against the potential threat to the people of King County. Jeff Pogel in Northwest News Radio. 434 Northwest News Radio. We've got your traffic and weather every 10 minutes on the fours. And in the High Performance Homes Traffic Center, Tama Fulton. How's it looking?  Well, some good news in Seattle. That earlier stall that was partially blocking the southbound 5 exit to James Street, that's been cleared away. Still seeing some pretty heavy traffic, though, as you head from the Northgate area all the way into downtown Seattle. Off and on slowing from around Boeing Field all the way around the Duwamish River curve.  As you're heading in towards ZTAC. Looks like southbound 1st Avenue or Highway 509 is also struggling as you leave downtown Seattle. All the way into the White Center area. We still have this semi that's crashed and overturned eastbound 90 at the 405 interchange.  That interchange has been blocked at 405, so you can't go northbound or southbound right now until they can get that semi righted. That is causing solid backups on eastbound 90 from Mercer Island, almost the midspan of the I-90 bridge. Also, westbound 90 is heavy as you come across the water towards I-5. Westbound 520 is filling in as well, approaching I-5. Watch for a crash in Federal Way. Eastbound 320 is straight at Warehouser Way, causing a backup from I-5.  Looks like it's a stall in Buckley, Westbound Highway 410 at Main Street, causing a backup from Park Avenue, partially blocking the right lane. And we've got a crash reported in Issaquah on Westbound Highway 900 at Southeast 83rd Place. It's causing that backup from Newport Way. This report, well, it's our next report, actually, is at 444.  And your forecast sponsored by Northwest Crawl Space Services. Summertime is back and we are clearing out mostly sunny and our temperatures today are going to top out in the below 80s. Overnight tonight expect to be mostly clear in the evening and tonight temperatures will cool by morning in the upper 50s to low 60s.  There's going to be some fog and low clouds around, but by 8 a.m., breaking out to sunshine again. High temperatures tomorrow are going to be warm. Expect to be around 80 near the water in places like Everett. But otherwise, we're going to be in the upper 80s, near 90 degrees. From the Como 4 Weather Center, I'm meteorologist Rebecca Stevenson. 76 degrees under sunny skies in Seattle. Northwest News Time, 436. King County election workers getting ready to process all those ballots for next week's primary. Como 4's Lee Stoll takes a look.  We're going to have about 300 employees who are going to process them for the primary. And that number jumps to 800 for the general election, now less than 100 days away. Earlier this month, staff ran their annual accuracy test for the ballot machines. They ran test ballots through the scanners, checked the results, all of them matched.  Secretary of State's office, they're spreading $2 million over 29 county election offices to bolster security ahead of November. It is the second year for that funding in particular. The elections offices, they can use it to buy or upgrade election security software and hardware, hire IT security personnel and make structural improvements.  It is also now a felony to harass election employees. Several offices got suspicious envelopes in 2023. Two of them tested positive for fentanyl. So we're doing training, active shooter training, de-escalation training.  Those ballots are due by August 6th, which is this upcoming Tuesday. Election workers in King County, they say they expect to process about half a million ballots in this election cycle. That would be about a 40% voter turnout rate.  That's Lee Stoll reporting. And ballots are on the way to Pierce County voters. In some areas, they've been delayed, but they're in the mail now. That delay, they say, hasn't affected early returns. They're currently at about 7% of a ballot return rate. What about is typical for this point in the election process? You do need to have that ballot postmarked by August 6th or in a drop box by 8 o'clock that night.  Seattle's minimum wage is set to go up by nearly $3 an hour January 1st, but now there's an effort to extend the tip credit for small businesses and not force them to raise. Ethan Stoll has built a restaurant empire in Washington and believes the council should stay the course. Stick with it.  Go forward and just stop changing the rules and stop changing the plan. There was no no one could know where we're going to be 10 years later. Amy Fair Gunner runs the Portage Bay cafes and likes the new legislation for small chains like hers. Is that a good thing or bad thing?  It is 100% a good thing for us. Just the cost of doing business here is making it really difficult for people to survive. This is a blatant attack. With no immediate answer, expect those old voices to continue roaring until a final vote is tallied.  That's coming for us, Chris Daniels reporting. A word to the wise, don't get caught up in illusion of AI buzzwords. Northwest News Radio's Tim Hole explains. A new study from Washington State University has uncovered a surprising twist in consumer behavior. Products branded as AI-powered may not be the selling point companies hope for. In fact, the research suggests these labels could be a hard sell, leading to fewer purchases compared to identical products without the AI tag.  Published in the Journal of Hospitality Marketing and Management, the study surveyed over 1,000 U.S. adults and consistently found the mention of AI in product descriptions detracted from their appeal. Study authors say when AI is in the picture, emotional trust tends to take a backseat, which can leave consumers feeling hesitant to buy. Researchers say companies should focus instead on highlighting the specific features and benefits of their products. Tim Hull, Northwest News Radio.  And we have some beautiful weather out there today, so it's kind of no surprise that a new report is ranking Seattle's 17th of the most popular destination for international travelers. Here's Coma 4's Molly Shen. This is according to LuxuryLink, an online booking platform for travel. Researchers found the Seattle area attracted 579,000 overseas travelers last year, and that was the 17th most of any U.S. metro.  Meanwhile, an estimated 31 million visitors came to the US last year from overseas, down from 40 million in 2019. The most popular activity for international tourists is shopping, with nearly 25.8 million visitors hitting the stores. Sightseeing is a close second, with almost 24.3 million tourists participating in that.  Northwest News Time 440. Time to check in with Bill Swartz at the Beacon Plumbing Sports Desk. A winning Mariners road trip ends with a tough loss in Boston. Well, Seattle swept three from last place Chicago White Sox and had a chance to take two of three from playoff contending Red Sox. Both bullpens were solid today, Kim, but in the 10th inning, Boston's best hitter, Rafael Devers, walked it off for the home team on New England's Sportsnet.  Swing and a fly ball left center field. Well hit. Raley's back there all the way to the wall. It is off the wall. Here comes the run. Here comes O'Neal. He will score. Raffy delivers. And the Red Sox win it in ten. Three to two.  So the Mariners return home with at least a share of the AOS lead. Pittsburgh at Houston starts in half an hour. The Seahawks made roster moves, adding a couple of undrafted rookies.

Well, eastbound 90, it looks like about a 35-minute drive between I-5 and 405 in Bellevue. That's a 25-minute delay. This is partially due to this overturned semi-crash that's been going on for a while now. It's blocking the ramps to north and southbound 405, and that's causing that backup as you come across Mercer Island, adding that 25 minutes to your already heavy drive time. They're headed from Seattle to Everett on northbound 5. That's  Taking you just about an hour and five minutes right now.

Right now, there are more than 600 children with critical illnesses in Alaska and Washington waiting for their chance to have a dream come true through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  And you can help without spending a dime. All it takes is a few of those unused airline miles. Make-A-Wish's Jeanette Tarchez joining us on the Northwest Newsline. So is there a particular airline you guys are working with or can folks donate miles from any carrier? Oh, that's such a great question. I'm glad you asked. We have partnerships with several different carriers. The ones that our volunteers are able to take today on the phones.  are Alaska Airlines, Delta, and United. If you have JetBlue, Southwest, or American, we also have partnerships with them, but those have to be done by the actual person donating them, and they need to go on those individual airline websites and make those donations themselves. Okay, so what's the most popular destination for Wishes these days?  Oh, my goodness. Well, you can imagine anything that there's a little mouse and his name is Mickey and he's got big ears. There's lots and lots of kids that want to go visit him and meet him, whether it's California or Florida or even the popular, you know, the Yolani destination in Hawaii. I would say probably 50 to 60 percent of our wishes for travel. They're all Disney related. So the kiddos love that for sure. Yeah.  Well, this is the 15th year we've partnered with Make-A-Wish for this flight mileage drive. So I'm curious, what are the most interesting and unusual trips that you've seen kids take? Some of the ones that are just so sweet and special to me are the ones where it's like families being reunited. So we've had kids who, you know, their family served in the military overseas and they want to go and visit them. We've sent kids to Germany for that. We've had a kid who wanted to be reunited with his dog.  That was cross country because he had to move for treatment and his dog was at his grandmother's house. So we flew the dog to be reunited with him. I mean, those are the ones that really tug at my heartstrings because, you know, they're really all about the essence of family and being around those who we need that love and that support from, especially when we're going through the toughest times in our lives.  Yeah, absolutely. And as a parent, I can only imagine how it must feel to get to see your child's wish come true when they've had to struggle with medical issues and not had a chance at a typical childhood. Oh, it really, you strike a really good point because the wishes are definitely about the kids.  But they're also for the families. I mean, they go through illness too. And there's a lot of kids that have siblings that have to be, you know, split from their siblings. And mom has to, you know, go and travel hundreds of miles to be away from the rest of the family so that she can be with her child who's going through treatment. And dad is holding down the fort with the other kids.  And it really is an opportunity when they get these tribal wishes for them to be a family together again and to sort of remember what that sort of normalcy feels like. And it's something that we all need and we crave and we all know how great it is when we go on amazing vacations. But just multiply that times a thousand when you're a kid in the family that's struggling through the throes of illness. Right.  So let's do it. Let's reunite more kids with their dogs. Let's bring more families together. How can people get involved? They can give us a call. Our phone lines are going to be open today until about 7, 730. And that number is 206.  404-4444, or they can go online and they can make a donation themselves. Our direct donation website is wishesinslight.akwa.wish.org. We're so thankful to our community here that's been helping to support our wish-granting mission for the past 15 years. We couldn't do this  you know, this drive and to send all these kids on their wishes without the support of the community. So we're really, really thankful for that. And we are so close to our goal. Six million miles is what we're hoping to raise today. We're at about four million. So we're doing good. And this hour, Alaska Airlines is generously matching airline donations this hour only. So you got to call in by five o'clock. Turn your one mile into two. That phone number again, 206-404-4444 for wishes in flight.  Northwest News time now, 4.50, and let's get a money update.
