World Cup Pride fight in Seattle: Iran and Egypt have formally urged FIFA to keep Pride-related ceremonies and “Pride Match” branding out of the Egypt-Iran match at Lumen Field, even as FIFA says rainbow flags are allowed inside the stadium and that community Pride events outside venues aren’t under FIFA control. Local organizing response: Seattle host officials say the Pride weekend celebrations outside the stadium will proceed as planned, with the “Pride Match Day” framing set before the teams were drawn. Seafood leadership moves: High Liner Foods named Nina Stangeland incoming exec VP for procurement and salmon strategy, while the Norwegian Seafood Council appointed Jan Eirik Johnsen as Japan country director. Marine/atmospheric science pushback: A Senate vote blocked efforts to dismantle the Ocean Observatories Initiative and its deep-sea buoys, with Washington’s Cantwell and Murray cited among key supporters. Public safety—industrial incident: Washington labor investigators previously opened multiple cases tied to Nippon Dynawave Packaging in Longview, including concerns about malfunctioning valves and toxic exposure risk. Weather outlook: A major cooldown is expected to linger into the Fourth of July, with highs mostly in the 60s in western Washington and only limited shower chances.
