Pramila Jayapal: Resources for the World Cup
While this is such an exciting time, it’s important that we are prepared.
Seattle is one of the few host cities that will feature World Cup matches in the heart of downtown. This means that many fans plan to use transit to get to and from matches – there is no public parking at the stadium.
Seattle is one of the few host cities that will feature World Cup matches in the heart of downtown. This means that many fans plan to use transit to get to and from matches – there is no public parking at the stadium.
Here are some changes to be aware of:
- King County Metro plans to add 60 buses on match days and 30 to 40 additional buses on non-match days during the tournament. To plan your trip, use the King County Trip Planner, or download the King County Metro Transit App.
- King County Metro will be providing free rides on the new waterfront shuttle service beginning May 21 through Labor Day. Connections will take place between Seattle Center, Waterfront Park, Pioneer Square, Seattle Stadium, and the Chinatown-International District.
- Temporary barriers and concrete barricades will be installed in some areas, including along Royal Brougham Way, to enhance pedestrian safety.
- Sound Transit will increase service on its light rail lines, running trains every eight minutes on game days until 1:00am.
- The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will scale back major road construction, including pausing the Revive I-5 construction zone on the Ship Canal Bridge.
- The City of Seattle is creating a Pedestrian Zone in Pioneer Square on match days, where the streets will be closed to traffic. Street closures will typically begin about 4 hours before match start times.
Safety is a top priority — for visitors and Seattleites. FEMA and other federal partners will be taking steps to prepare and protect our community. Here are some ways to stay informed and safe during the tournament:
- Download the FEMA App to get real-time updates in English or Spanish for the area you are in or up to five locations.
- Follow FEMA Region 10 on X (Twitter) and LinkedIn, along with FEMA on Facebook and Instagram, for additional public safety updates.
- Sign up for emergency alerts from King County in the language of your choice by text, voice call, or email at ALERT King County.
- Sign up for AlertSeattle to receive customized emergency alerts via text message, email, voice message, or social media. Or text the word SEATTLE to 67283.
Local and federal partners have worked together to make Seattle a welcoming, inclusive, and safe place for fans, while mitigating disruptions to our community members. Let’s all look out for each other during these matches. Until then, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to my office at 206-674-0040.

A surprise in Richmond Beach Saltwater Park

May 2026 Shoreline Market Overview
On a positive note, that figure is 5% above May 2025's 36 sales, suggesting some year-over-year improvement, but the month-over-month drop signals that the spring momentum seen in April did not carry through as expected. Year to date, 183 homes have sold.
Several macro factors contributed to the slowdown. Mortgage rates, which had been trending downward and fueling optimism earlier in the year, reversed course following the outbreak of conflict with Iran.
Gas prices spiked in the aftermath, adding pressure to household budgets, and inflation has been rising as a result. Together, these developments shook buyer confidence at what should have been the peak of the spring buying season, causing some buyers to pause or pull back entirely.
Pricing Trends
The median sale price came in at $777,500 in May, down from $827,000 last month and 2.2% below May 2025's $785,000. On a year-to-date basis, the median holds at $785,000, suggesting overall price levels are relatively stable, though monthly figures continue to run below last year.
Price per square foot rose to $550 in May, a meaningful jump from April's $504 and above the year-to-date average of $522. However, it remains 6.6% below May 2025's $589, continuing the pattern of values trailing last year's levels.
Days on Market
Homes averaged 22 days on market in May, slightly slower than April's 19 days. The year-to-date average of 31 days stands in sharp contrast to May 2025's 9-day average, reflecting a fundamentally different market dynamic than the urgency-driven conditions buyers and sellers experienced a year ago.
Negotiation Trends
The sold-to-list price ratio in May was 101.23%, just below May 2025's 101.57%, indicating that well-priced homes are still attracting offers above asking. Year to date, the ratio is 100.83% compared to 103.23% through the same period in 2025, confirming that while sellers are still achieving close to or above list price, the intense bidding competition of last year has eased considerably.
May Summary
Despite a year-over-year uptick in sales, May underperformed for what should be a peak spring month. Rising mortgage rates triggered by the Iran conflict, spiking gas prices, and growing inflation concerns combined to dampen buyer enthusiasm at a critical time.
The drop from April's activity, combined with prices and price per square foot still running below 2025 levels and days on market significantly higher than a year ago, points to a market navigating real economic headwinds. Sellers who price strategically are still achieving strong results, but the broader conditions needed to drive a true spring surge have not materialized.

Background information on the Shoreline Pool
 |
| The old Shoreline Pool |
A little history
The old Shoreline Pool was built as part of the 1968 King County Forward Thrust bond.
An assessment made in 2013 showed the pool needed significant health and safety upgrades and other major maintenance to keep it operational.
In 2015, the City Council made the decision to invest $750,000 in several mid-term repairs to extend the life of the pool for another five to seven years. At the time, the contractor had to conduct a nationwide search to find some of the parts needed for the repairs as parts were no longer made for the pool’s outdated equipment.
School swim teams
The pool was used by the swim teams from Shorewood and Shorecrest. Their season lasts three months and the district runs on a lean budget, so there has never been consideration of the school district building and maintaining a pool.
Since the Shoreline pool was closed in 2021, Shorewood trains at the private Innis Arden pool and Shorecrest trains at the private Sheridan Beach pool. Both are outdoor pools and the boys season is in the winter.
The land
The land where the old pool was located belongs to the school district. It was an arrangement that worked for years but I can't think what sense it makes to build a multi-million dollar facility on someone else's land.

| New picnic shelter at Shoreline Park at the site of the old Shoreline Pool |
Other pools
There are other nearby pools: The YMCA is a membership organization and it is not cheap. Mountlake Terrace built a very nice pool facility but they are already talking about the difficulty of getting parts and the need to replace the pool. Lynnwood has a beautiful facility that they remodeled in 2011 but they are fully scheduled. When Mountlake Terrace closes, it will be even more difficult to schedule new groups.
Who used the Shoreline Pool?
The Shoreline Pool had a full schedule of swim lessons, the swim teams, water polo, diving, lifeguard training. Beyond that there were after hours sessions for adults and children with disabilities. There were special exercise classes, water safety classes, water aerobics, diving classes, water polo teams, and mother-baby swim classes. A kayak class met late at night, learning how to right their boats after tipping over in the water. It was rented out for private parties.
I met a homeless woman who went to the pool to take a shower and never got near the pool itself. I did that myself during an extended power outage.
The previous pool bond

The previous pool bond
When the previous bond issue was on the ballot in 2019, it had a 54% yes vote but failed the 60% validation requirement required for bonds. It also included everything currently at the Spartan Gym, with the assumption that the city would no longer need the gym.
This time there was extensive public outreach to see what people wanted from a pool facility. The Spartan Gym will remain a recreation site separate from the pool.

| Storage court would be the site for a new pool |
When the city had the opportunity to buy the storage locker property a few doors down from City Hall, they didn't hesitate, so we already own the land. The location is in the center of the city, and right along a frequent transit line and a walking trail, making it more accessible to all.
How to pay for the new pool
How to pay for the new pool
Revenue generated by the pool activities would cover 66% of the costs to operate and maintain the pool. The remaining 34% would need to come from other revenue sources, such as taxes.
