King County Executive Dow Constantine unveiled a new film production facility at the former Fisher Flour Mill on Harbor Island.
The 117,000 square-foot sound stage is King County’s first major public investment to bring back a once-thriving film industry and hundreds of family wage, creative economy jobs as the region rebounds post-pandemic.
“We transformed this vast warehouse into a creative space with stages, sets, and shops to put hundreds of people to work in good, union jobs making films right here in King County,” said Executive Constantine.

The ST3 program involves projects throughout the tri-county region included in the ST3 ballot measure, including light rail from Downtown to West Seattle.

Imagine your state of mind, if you lived a quiet life taking your dog out for a walk, tending a garden. doing household chores and listening to music, or reading biographies of famous people. You’d likely be calm, easy going, and pleasant to be around.
Notice I did not include using a computer, phone, or television to consume news. A survey conducted by the American Psychological Association in 2017 pointed to the consumption of news as a serious source of stress for two thirds of Americans since it made them more uncertain about the future of the nation.

King County Executive Dow Constantine will present a new film production facility this Saturday at the County-owned Fisher Flour Mill warehouse on Harbor Island.
The sound stage is part of an ongoing effort to bring films and episodic productions to King County, along with hundreds of family-wage jobs and economic development.

In 2003 Gary Ridgway, Washington’s notorious Green River killer, pleaded guilty to murdering forty-eight (48) women. As of today, two of Ridgway’s victims remain unidentified.
Parabon Nanolabs, Inc., working in concert with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, utilized their proprietary Snapshot DNA Analysis to develop this composite profile of one of these remaining women.
The investigative team, including detectives with the King County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit and forensic anthropologist Dr. Katherine Taylor, is sharing this newly developed image today so we can work to identify a woman known only to King County investigators as Bones-17.
The woman featured here was discovered, along with another Green River victim, on January 2nd, 1986 by detectives in southeast King County. Although unidentified at the time, her death was included in Ridgway’s 2003 plea agreement.

We are blessed in Western Washington to have a climate conductive to growing many kinds of fruit. The hardest part is deciding which varieties to plant!
Consider tree fruits, for example. We can grow apples, pears, cherries, peaches, and plums. And if you’re looking for something more exotic - figs, persimmons and pomegranates all do well in this area.
