The week ahead: August 24–28
What’s coming on seattletrendlines.com the week of August 24–28 — 10 posts, two a day, every weekday.
Monday, August 24 — Seattle’s cruise business: from a 2020 shutdown to a record 1.9 million; King County homes under contract, July 2026.
Tuesday, August 25 — New listings per 10,000 King County residents, June 2026; King County’s electric fleet, July 2026.
Wednesday, August 26 — The river Seattle drinks, July 2026; What moves through the gateway, 2025.
Thursday, August 27 — What it costs to keep Seattle comfortable, 2025; City and county, 1990 to 2026.
Friday, August 28 — Seattle’s crimes against society, June 2026; Seattle building permits, July 2026.
This is the plan, not a promise. Every weekday post here is tied to a data release, and a release that slips takes its post with it — the post simply waits for the day its numbers land. A figure that arrives early, a revision worth writing about, or an unexpected story out of Seattle can just as easily add a post that isn’t on this list. Expect the week to look roughly like this, and expect at least one day of it not to.
