Does Seattle Like National Chains? Plus, Why Downtown Isn’t Dead After All
Today, Jane C. Hu is back, and she’s talking about the latest business news in Seattle. Joining her are Alex Halverson of the Seattle Times and regular contributor Marcus Harrison Green. They discuss the latest developments for Anduril, the very-real-but-fantasy named weapons company based here in Seattle that is expanding its footprint to Bellevue. They also talk about the news that DocuSign is staying in Seattle, and perhaps that downtown Seattle is going to remain attractive to local businesses and their employees who value good transit, nightlife, and all the pluses of a big city. The trio also discuss whether Seattle likes national chains and the give-and-take between employers and what they owe the city. Finally, they discuss their favorite spots to watch the World Cup. If you’re a neighbor (sign up if you’re not), stick around for a conversation about the state of thrifting in Seattle with Jane, Sam, and Ashley.

Kraken add Patrik Allvin as Assistant GM, add Pascal Vincent as Assistant Coach
The plot for both Lane Lambert and Jason Botterill thickens today, as the Kraken have added to their front office with the additions of names both slightly known and slightly unknown. Alison Lukan broke the story: The #SeaKraken announce Patrik Allvin as their new Assistant General Manager and Pascal Vincent as an assistant coach → t.co/ihmtYGt0UF— Alison Lukan (@alisonl.bsky.social) 2026-06-11T16:36:54.899Z Patrik Allvin is a swedish-born former player who was the previous GM of the Vancouver Canucks from 2022 to 2027; principally tasked with the unenviable problem of Elias Pettersson being good, stopping being good as hard as humanly possible, and then trying desperately to pull him back to being good while the team around him showed serious holes from day one. Combine that with the Quinn Hughes and JT Miller fiascoes and it paints a picture of a GM who was maybe promoted from scout to GM a little too fast; Allvin’s draft record has been decent, but acquisitions around the constraints put in front of him were just a little bit too much. Though it’s difficult to truly say that Allvin was 100% the problem when he’s had famously stable and normal owner Francesco Aquilini and Jim Rutherford breathing down his neck, it’s probably in everybody’s best interest that he’s in a support role for the time being. Vincent meanwhile, has had a similar story; Pascal Vincent is usually credited for his work as a coach coming into rough teams and getting them back into form over time; having done so with the Winnipeg Jets AHL affiliate and was the unlucky soul who had to pick up the pieces after the Columbus Blue Jackets fired Mike Babcock before he even coached a game. After that brief and not exactly fruitful stint, he went back to the American Hockey League, and quickly turned Montreal’s affiliate, the Laval Rocket, into a surprise juggernaut; winning the AHL equivalent of the president’s trophy and an appearance at the AHL Eastern Conference Finals. While he wasn’t necessarily able to pull that off this year (they got beat in the first round), it would not be a stretch to say that he was a major part of allowing the Rocket to be good as they were through the last two years, which arguably makes him one of that program’s better minor league coaches in the past couple of decades. He took a team that was regularly out of the playoff picture in the AHL, settling around 10th to 12th in conference, and made them a Top 5 team in extremely short order. Per EyesOnThePrize‘s AHL .gif guru Scott Matla, he is a man who will be sorely missed. Even if his teams have a predilection towards penalty minutes. I mean, if you have Arber Xhekaj, you kind of have to, right? As for my personal opinion, I am…cautiously optimistic! The Kraken have issues, that’s for sure, but nothing even close to the scream-yourself-awake nightmares the Canucks had and will continue to have even with the Swedes the fans like in charge. Did Allvin contribute to some of that? Sure! But he no longer needs to make those calls. He can just focus on the prospect pool and maybe some scouting responsibilities, which were always his strengths anyways. He’s also critically not got Franky and a man who remembers when Nebuchadnezzar was in power yelling at him! That may improve his ability to manage! Meanwhile, Vincent was given maybe some of the worst circumstances imaginable in his single shot at coaching in the NHL, and at just about every other stop he’s been at he’s been a shockingly strong coach! It helps that, of course, he is not going to be in charge of running everything. The parts of Lane Lambert’s game I think he can help the best is stuff that Lane would absolutely be willing to delegate anyway, like the offense. It also appears that the new meta for coaches is being extremely bald, so unfortunately I am very out of the running. Welcome Patrik and Pascal to The Deep!

Christine Bumstead Named Head Coach of the Seattle Torrent
The Seattle Torrent named Christine Bumstead as the head coach for the franchise’s second year. Bumstead was an assistant coach during the team’s inaugural season and takes over the role from Steve O’Rourke who was let go on May 22. In their press release, the Torrent’s GM Meghan Turner said, “Christine brings a valuable combination of hockey expertise, leadership presence, and an unwavering commitment to high standards.” Before joining the Torrent, she spent four seasons as an assistant coach with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies while also doing player development work with the WHL’s Saskatoon Blades. She later served as an assistant on gold-medal-winning Team Manitoba’s staff at the 2025 WHL Cup, and led Canada’s national team at the 2024 World Deaf Ice Hockey Championship as both head coach and general manager. As for an NHL connection, Bumstead was invited to join the Florida Panthers as a development camp guest coach in 2024, after that year’s Stanley Cup win, and sat in as an assistant coach for a preseason game. This gig apparently happened because of a hunting trip where she got a chance to discuss hockey philosophy with Paul Maurice during a long car ride. Also in their press release, Bumstead is quoted as saying, “I believe Seattle is the best city in the world for women’s sports. The best is still ahead for Seattle Torrent hockey, and we can’t wait to continue growing.” In this biased reporter’s opinion, she ain’t wrong about Seattle being the best city in the world for women’s sports. We’ll see how the season shapes up as the expansion process unfolds in the coming weeks.

Julia Gosling Signs Two-Year Deal With the Torrent
Julia Gosling rejected a foundational player offer (FPO) to become a key component for the Seattle Torrent next year. She signed a two-year deal and became the first of Seattle’s Phase 3 protections and fourth protected player overall. She will be joined by Alex Carpenter, Hanna Murpy, and Anna Wilgren, all protected in Phase 1. Seattle has two more protection slots to use before the Phase 3 deadline of June 12. Gosling became famous for her 5-point performance for Canada’s Silver Medal win during the Winter Olympics and tied Alex Carpenter for first place in points for the Torrent. Torrent fans must brace themselves for a team that will look very different than the one they knew last season. Detroit will now be home to Hanna Bilka and Cayla Barnes. Corinne Shroeder will now find herself between the pipes in San Jose. Hilary Knight is heading to Las Vegas, though this is a move to join Bilka and Barnes in Detroit in exchange for a first-round draft pick.

Council Votes on Data Center Ban Today, Wilson Activates Stadium Cameras, and Condos for Cars?!
Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is joined by contributor Hannah Krieg and guest Adam Willems, co-founder of CHUM news, to talk about surveillance, data centers, and test their general Seattle news knowledge in a new quiz. First, Adam shares what he learned about the forthcoming data center moratorium being voted on this afternoon in his reporting for The Guardian. He explains the last-minute amendment passed last week, which allows existing datacenters in Seattle to apply for expansions to their power usage, up to 20 megawatts of additional power, during the moratorium. Then Jane and Hannah break down the “general but credible threat” that Mayor Katie Wilson says led her administration to turn on surveillance cameras in the Stadium district ahead of the World Cup, and what it means for the city’s approach to surveillance. Finally, how well do you know our city’s recent headlines? Jane created a news quiz to test your Seattle knowledge against two local journalists.
