Bellingham, WALocal News

The Mariners seek a third consecutive win against the Royals tonight after a solid 6-2 victory, featuring Cal Raleigh's MLB-leading 33rd home run. Raleigh's achievement places him among five players in MLB history to reach this milestone before July. George Kirby's strong pitching performance, allowing only one run and three hits over six innings, contributed to the win. In NHL developments, the Kraken signed defenseman Ryan Lindgren to a four-year deal valued at about $4. 5 million per year and goaltender Matt Murray to a one-year, $1 million contract.

Seattle University officially reentered the West Coast Conference, marking its return after 45 years and joining Gonzaga as the only Washington schools in the WCC. Washington State and Oregon State will also compete in the WCC for one final season before transitioning back to the Pac-12 in 2026. This return to the WCC enhances the local collegiate sports landscape, potentially increasing competition and fan engagement. The Mariners' and Kraken's recent actions highlight the dynamic nature of Seattle's sports scene.
