Officials determined that the Orca whale found dead earlier this month died from a bacterial infection from her fetus. Sad.

Helpful holiday note for anyone traveling through Sea-Tac: Volunteers for the nonprofit USO Northwest will again host a free gift-wrapping station inside the airport’s central terminal.

Yay, we’ve stopped sinking! Last week, it was discovered that the ground underneath Pioneer Square had sunk about one inch potentially due to repairs being done on the stalled tunnel-boring machine Bertha. So the sinking has stopped, but the official reason why is not yet being released.

Good news if you still have most/all of your holiday shopping (ahem, me) left to do: Amazon has extended its free shipping offer through December 19.

Police investigated an armed robbery early this morning in West Seattle’s Morgan Junction, the West Seattle Blog reports. It’s confirmed that the Subway restaurant in the 6500 block of California Avenue SW was held up. A different store nearby–Wyatt’s Jewelers in Westwood Village–was recently burglarized twice, but there is no word that the two incidents are related.
