📰 News we're reading

• New details emerge as Amazon pushes ‘Project Peregrine' delivery service (spokesman.com) — Amazon is eyeing a 24/7 ultrafast delivery hub at 12368 Northup Way near Bellevue’s Spring District, potentially bringing 30-minute grocery and essentials delivery deeper into local neighborhoods. Permit filings show the Bellevue site tied to Amazon’s “Project Peregrine,” an expansion of its Amazon Now pilot already operating in Seattle, with coverage that includes parts of the Eastside and Snohomish County.
   

• Pacific halibut catches declined this year (nationalfisherman.com) — Bellevue will host the International Pacific Halibut Commission’s 2026 annual meeting, where new catch limits will be set following another year of declining halibut stocks. The latest data show smaller fish, reduced landings across Alaska, and the lowest overall halibut removals in a century, trends that could influence future supply and prices in Washington markets.
