Did the Secretary of State Violate Campaign Finance Laws? Attorney General Bob Ferguson's office received a complaint alleging that Secretary of State Kim Wyman missed deadlines to file disclosure reports. "PDC staff found that several reports were filed late in April, and that contributions were filed late in May. Ferguson’s office noted that Wyman self-reported those errors to the PDC before state Democrats filed the complaint. However, the investigation found other similar late reports and deposits by the campaign between 2013 and 2016, according to the attorney general," AP reports. Wyman has served in the office since 2012 and is running for reelection this year against Tina Podlodowski.

Late-Night Bus Routes Benefit People Struggling with Homelessness, Too: A new King County Metro proposal will expand bus service between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. In addition to providing hourly C Line, D Line, and E Line bus trips all night, many daytime routes running through "the University District, Shoreline, Burien, West Seattle and downtown would start running overnight." Alison Eisinger of the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness told KUOW reporter Paige Browning that a number of people use the buses as a safe place to sleep. "While no one would set out to say that we should have [buses] serving as de facto shelter for people who are homeless, that is the reality. So we really appreciate that Metro has taken into account the full range of ridership," she told the station.

Shoreline School District Receives a Love Letter: Because diversity matters. You should go read Stranger contributor Ijeoma Oluo's whole letter at The Establishment, but here's a snippet:

And when you brought the mayor in to talk to my teenager’s high school class, you didn’t censor their questions. You let them ask what was important to them. And when the kids asked the mayor if he thought black lives matter, he was able to say that yes, he did believe that black lives matter. And my son was able to come home feeling like he matters.

I love you for that.
