Good morning, Tacoma.

The Washington Department of Ecology expanded its drought emergency to include counties across the central Cascades and Puget Sound region—early warm weather melted snow two to four weeks ahead of schedule.

This move provides funding to help local farmers, fish, and water supplies face worsening drought conditions.

The City of Tacoma will support outreach teams and volunteers to deliver essential supplies to unsheltered individuals as temperatures are expected to reach the mid to upper 80s for two days starting June 8.

Shelter capacity will expand if temperatures hit 90 degrees or if the Air Quality Index reaches 151 — non-emergent encampment removals will be paused during these weather events.

Supporters gathered outside the Northwest ICE Processing Center Friday to call for the release of Maximo 'Kuya Max' Londonio—a longtime labor union leader, U.S. green card holder and father of three.
