About this listen

Seattle local news noon update for January 29, 2026. While the morning commute had its hiccups, the midday rush in Seattle is dealing with a new headache as a major water main break shuts down streets in Belltown. We have the details on which blocks to avoid if you are grabbing lunch downtown.

We are also tracking a shift in the weather patterns. While today is grey but manageable, meteorologists are warning of an atmospheric river taking aim at the Pacific Northwest starting tomorrow night. We break down what that means for your weekend plans in the Emerald City.

On a brighter note, we have some exciting news for the waterfront transformation project. A new section of the overlook walk is opening ahead of schedule, offering some of the best views of Elliott Bay.
