Seattle is experimenting with looser rules around drinking, both for the World Cup and beyond.

Why it matters: Expanded alcohol service zones at World Cup fan events and Pike Place Market are temporary for now. But they may lead to a longer-term relaxation of the state's liquor laws.

Catch up quick: A new state law approved last year lets people roam more freely with drinks at several of Seattle's World Cup fan celebrations, rather than being confined to smaller, roped-off beer gardens.

The same law also allows restaurants to band together to provide shared, family-friendly outdoor spaces where people can drink without some of the typical restrictions, such as strict fencing and staffing requirements.

The more permissive law is in effect through the end of 2027, when the Legislature can decide whether to extend it.

How it works: At Pike Place Market, businesses are taking advantage of the new law to let people carry alcoholic drinks along the market's main street.

The market's "Sip and Savor" pilot runs from noon to 5pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Labor Day.

Meanwhile, at Seattle Center and the waterfront, expanded alcohol service zones for the World Cup are letting people drink beer and wine in a wider area — such as throughout the Armory Building on certain match days, as well as the entirety of Pier 62.

Pacific Place is also using the new law for expanded alcohol service at its World Cup fan fest.

The goal is to create "a more welcoming environment," says state Rep. Julia Reed (D-Seattle), who sponsored the legislation. "We want people to be out using the public space that they own," she tells Axios.

At Pike Place Market, the vision is for people to be able to buy a drink and "sit with their kids rather than have to be in a bar," Joel Miller, public space manager at the Seattle Department of Transportation, tells Axios.

Yes, but: Certain rules remain in place — such as requiring the expanded drinking areas to have a defined outer perimeter and security plans.

The big picture: The state law can also be used by neighboring breweries in areas like Ballard to create shared outdoor spaces for dining and drinking.

Seattle city officials are encouraging more restaurants to expand dining service outdoors by helping cover permit fees, Miller says.

"I think our vision is larger than Pike Place," he says.

What's next: Cities and counties taking advantage of the program have to submit reports in the coming months outlining how well the system has worked.

Those reports will help inform whether the Legislature extends the program beyond 2027.

Every U.S. state contributed items to a time capsule marking the nation's 250th anniversary this year. Washington's picks were … well, a little boring.

The big picture: While states like New Mexico, Maine and West Virginia sent handmade art and cultural artifacts, Washington contributed just two things: a gubernatorial proclamation and a letter from the lieutenant governor.

To put that in perspective, Arkansas sent a diamond. California sent a fusion superconductor. 

If the goal was to tell people in 2276 what Washington was like, we'd have packed a little differently.

People 250 years from now probably won't understand why thousands of strangers stuck chewed gum to a brick wall.

Still, it's one of Seattle's enduring oddities. The tradition began in the 1990s, when patrons and performers at Unexpected Productions started leaving gum on the wall, according to Pike Place Market.

The appeal of Dick's is almost impossible to explain to outsiders. (Though Bethany Jean Clement at The Seattle Times captured it well a few years ago.)

Who knows what Seattle's shoreline will look like in 2276?

A weathered piece of driftwood would at least give future Washingtonians something tangible from one of the city's best places to wander.

Few Washington experiences are as familiar as waiting for a ferry that's running a little late — then forgetting all about it once you're on the water.

The views. The smell of salt air. The chance of an orca sighting. Standing on the deck in the drizzle. That's Washington.

The red "R" is instantly recognizable to generations of Washingtonians. Few brands are more closely tied to the state's identity.

We'd have preferred to include the giant neon "R" sign, but a beer can is a lot easier to squeeze into a time capsule.

The geoduck has been part of life for Coast Salish peoples for thousands of years.

The shellfish's famously phallic appearance has also helped make it one of Washington's cult icons.

The other side: The lieutenant governor's office said the state's two documents were chosen to give people in 2276 a sense of how Washingtonians viewed the nation's 250th anniversary.

After seeing Oklahoma submit the Thunder's NBA championship ring from last year, Dallas Roberts, chief of staff for Lt. Gov. Denny Heck, told Axios it "would have been awesome to get our hands on an early release of the Seahawks Super Bowl ring."

Now that's a submission we can get behind.

Fans attending World Cup matches in Seattle can expect to pay $18 for a beer — but that's not even the steepest stadium price out there.

The big picture: Among the 11 U.S. cities hosting World Cup matches this year, the prices for food and drinks vary widely.

Case in point: Beer prices at World Cup stadiums range from $5 in Atlanta to $24.50 in San Francisco.

By the numbers: At Seattle Stadium (Lumen Field), a 16-ounce American beer costs $17.99, while a craft or imported beer costs $18.99, MyNorthwest reports.

A soft pretzel at the stadium costs $13.49, while a cotton candy costs $11.99.

By comparison, Seattle Sounders matches at Lumen offer more food items for $10 or less.

What they're saying: Unlike previous World Cups, where FIFA had one concession model throughout all games, this year it partnered with different operators, per a spokesperson.

"Food and beverage pricing at FIFA World Cup 2026 stadiums is broadly in line with pricing at regular events held at each respective venue. As a result, prices may vary between venues," the spokesperson tells Axios.

FIFA did not respond to a question about how the revenue is shared among FIFA and the venues. 

A message to Lumen Field wasn't immediately returned Thursday.

What's next: Iran faces Egypt at Seattle Stadium at 8pm Friday — the fourth of six World Cup matches in Seattle.

You can now reserve a spot to see some of the nation's founding documents when they come to Seattle this summer.

The big picture: The Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) is one of eight stops the Freedom Plane National Tour is making this year to celebrate America's 250th birthday.

MOHAI will host the traveling exhibition from July 30 to Aug. 16.

Zoom in: Nine of America's founding documents from the National Archives will be on display, including:

A secret printing of a draft of the Constitution from 1787.

George Washington's, Alexander Hamilton's and Aaron Burr's oaths of allegiance to the Continental Army from 1778.

The Treaty of Paris from 1783, which recognized U.S. independence and ended the Revolutionary War.

If you go: Entry is free, but advance timed reservations are highly recommended.

MOHAI officials say that reservation slots have been snapped up quickly in other markets and that walk-ins can be accommodated only on a space-available basis.

The museum is located at 860 Terry Ave N. (in Lake Union Park).

The number of people experiencing homelessness in King County rose 9% between 2024 and 2026, according to a new point-in-time count released Tuesday.

The big picture: The continued rise in homelessness in the Seattle area comes after years of efforts to get people into housing — and 11 years after Seattle and King County declared homelessness a public emergency.

How it works: The point-in-time count aims to measure how many people are living outside or in temporary shelter at a given time.

The latest count was conducted between Jan. 26 and Feb. 6.

By the numbers: This year's tally estimated that 18,365 people were experiencing homelessness countywide, up from 16,868 in 2024.

More than 11,800 people were living unsheltered this year — meaning they were on the street or in a place not designated for sleeping, such as a car or abandoned building.

That's up from 9,810 unsheltered people who were counted two years ago — an increase of nearly 21%.

What they're saying: The King County Regional Homelessness Authority, which released the numbers Tuesday, said in a news release that the numbers point to "some stabilization" in the homeless population, "even as the overall need continues to rise."

The total homeless population rose much faster between 2022 and 2024, when it spiked 26% over two years, the agency noted.

The homelessness authority has recently come under intense scrutiny after an audit flagged years of financial problems inside the agency.

Stunning stat: Emergency shelter units have actually decreased countywide since last year — although the report also says there has been a rise in permanent supportive housing units.

In a written statement, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson pointed to high housing costs and evictions as drivers of the rise in homelessness.

"'[W]e're simply not doing enough to keep up with the scale of our housing and homelessness crisis," Wilson said in a statement emailed to Axios.

What we're watching: How the numbers may shape attempts to reform the regional homelessness authority — and whether Wilson's efforts to open new shelter units and build housing more quickly will have any effect.
