WA Senate Republicans - Income Tax on Everyone bill (SB 6346)
@WashingtonSRC
Happening Now: The WA House goes into the 20th hour of debate on the Income Tax on Everyone bill (SB 6346). Legislative Republicans are dead-set against this unaffordable and unconstitutional legislation that's wrongly being branded as a "millionaire's tax" by the far left and special interests. #NoIncomeTax

5 Starbucks stores in Seattle set to close, including busy Armory location
Starbucks is closing five additional Seattle locations in early April 2026, including four unionized shops, citing financial performance and customer experience. Affected sites include Madison St., University Way, Seattle Center, Seattle Children's, and Minor Ave. This follows previous 2025 closures, including the Capital Hill Reserve Roastery.
Key Details on 2026 Closures
Affected Locations: 1101 Madison St., 4147 University Way NE, 305 Harrison St. (Armory), 4800 Sand Point Way NE (Children's), and 1730 Minor Ave.
Timing: Closures are set for early April 2026, affecting employees with 30-day notice and potential transfers.
Union Status: Four of the five stores are unionized, leading to an unfair labor practice charge filed by Workers United.
Context: The closures are part of a broader, ongoing strategic shift under CEO Brian Niccol to improve performance and reshape the company’s footprint.
These closures occur despite Starbucks confirming that Seattle will remain its headquarters, even as it expands corporate roles to Nashville.
