The week ahead: October 12–16
What’s coming on seattle.metrotrendlines.com the week of October 12–16 — 11 posts on the calendar.
Monday, October 12 — King County Metro bus ridership, August 2026; Seattle’s air, June 2026 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet).
Tuesday, October 13 — Seattle offences against persons, August 2026; Seattle offences against property, August 2026.
Wednesday, October 14 — Sounder commuter rail, August 2026; Washington State Ferries ridership, August 2026.
Thursday, October 15 — Washington business applications, August 2026; Seattle’s crime rate, August 2026.
Friday, October 16 — Washington jobless claims, week of Oct 3, 2026 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet); Seattle gas prices, August 2026 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet); King County’s share of Washington’s EVs, August 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.
