AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Seattle Labor & City Hall: Seattle’s biggest union PROTEC17 just won retroactive raises worth roughly $3M–$5M, but the money hasn’t flowed yet—staff are waiting on HR instructions, and the city is now facing a fresh fight over whether the settlement should’ve been handled at the bargaining table. Starbucks Tension: The same week, Mayor Katie Wilson’s comments about Starbucks’ corporate shift to Nashville collide with Starbucks’ restructuring cuts, including 300 corporate roles. Local Sports Shock: Sounders FC’s 22-game home unbeaten streak ended 2-0 at Lumen Field, with LA Galaxy scoring through Gabriel Pec and Matheus Nascimento. Pensions Watch: In Illinois, new reporting highlights how small-town police/fire pension burdens can vary wildly—Troy at $126 per household in 2024, Woodridge at $309. Region & Infrastructure: Amtrak’s first next-gen Airo trainset arrived in Seattle, signaling a broader rail upgrade rollout.
