Seattle Police locked down the grocery store and the corner of 15th and John after a reported exchange of gunfire at the Capitol Hill Safeway early Sunday evening. No victims were found at the scene. 25 minutes later, a 911 caller reported a male with a gunshot wound to the leg at 12th and Fir. Police were called to the reported 15th and John shootout just after 5 PM as people in the parking lot and customers inside the store scrambled for cover. SPD taped off a large area around the parking lot and Williams Place Park where they reported finding multiple shell casings and at least one unspent round. According to East Precinct radio updates, the shootout involved at least two armed assailants with one reportedly fleeing northbound on a rental scooter. About 25 minutes after the Safeway call, police were called to 12th and Fir where a male was reported with a gunshot wound to the leg. Seattle Fire was at the scene to treat the victim and transport him to the hospital. It was not immediately clear if the incidents were separate shootings though at least one 911 caller described a group of possible suspects leaving the 12th and Fir scene. There were no reported arrests. According to a radio update, Seattle Police were investigating the possibility a Glock handgun reported stolen earlier in the day was used in the Capitol Hill shooting.

The Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) has adopted new toll rates for the SR 520 Bridge. Beginning **August 15, 2024,** toll rates will increase by an average of 10 percent, rounded to the nearest nickel. Depending on the time of day and day of week, tolls will either decrease by 10 cents or increase by up to 70 cents. In addition, the new rate schedule will feature six rate variations throughout the week instead of the current eight. Please see the table below for a breakdown of the changes: [Weekday rate changes \(Monday-Friday\)](https://preview.redd.it/twrapao67ahd1.png?width=968&format=png&auto=webp&s=9452051de1c9fb827c625847ed3a655d1b1fc95a) [Weekend rate changes \(Saturday & Sunday\)](https://preview.redd.it/9txxxld77ahd1.png?width=988&format=png&auto=webp&s=79348cd8289986e9b8d16424bc262f26aaace56e) State law mandates that tolls generate sufficient revenue to meet the bridge’s financial obligations, such as operations and on-going maintenance costs, and repaying construction bonds used to build the bridge. Tolls are also required to be set in a manner that helps maintain travel time, speed, and reliability in the corridor. These rate adjustments aim to streamline the toll structure while ensuring toll revenue meets the bridge’s financial requirements.

> The Seattle City Council delayed a vote on an initiative, I-137, to [fund social housing](https://publicola.com/2024/02/06/social-housing-backers-propose-new-tax-on-pay-above-1-million/), citing unspecified legal concerns, on Tuesday. The council’s last-minute maneuver prevents the measure from going onto the ballot in November, when progressive voter turnout is likely to be high. A majority of the council appears to oppose the [measure](https://www.letsbuildsocialhousing.org/initiative-text), which would impose a 5% tax, paid by employers, on employee compensation above $1 million a year.
