Seattle Mayor Ed Murray says any future NBA team should play at Seattle Center and picks a development team that includes Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer to renovate KeyArena.

Former FBI director James Comey tells a Senate investigative panel that he was fired because of the investigation he was leading into ties between Russia and President Trump's campaign.
Seattle decides you'll be better off paying more for sugary drinks and taxes soda to the tune of an estimated $23 million a year.

And it seems to be the final curtain call for two much-loved Seattle movie houses.
