N Concourse was K-poppin’ today! Travelers got a surprise performance from Andrew Choi — the singing voice of Jinu in @netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters — after he helped celebrate @AlaskaAir’s new nonstop flight to Seoul.

At approximately 8 p.m. Pacific on July 20, we experienced an IT outage that resulted in a temporary, system-wide ground stop for Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air flights. As of 11 p.m. Pacific, the ground stop has been lifted, and our operations have resumed. As we reposition our aircraft and crews, there will most likely be residual impacts to our flights. It will take some time to get our overall operations back to normal. We apologize for the inconvenience and encourage guests to check the status of your flight before leaving for the airport.

Thankful to everyone who joined me at the Port of Seattle today to discuss the impact Trump’s tariffs are having in WA. This trade war hurts workers, businesses, health care providers, & many others in our region.

In WA state, 2 out of 5 jobs depend on trade, so #tariffs are a big concern. @PortofSeattle Commissioner @SamChoTweets talked to me about this on @SeattleChannel--check out the clip here. Full show, w/@WAStateCommerce & @SeattleChamber: seattlechannel.org/CityInsid… @WWConverge

2 in 5 jobs in our state are tied to trade, which puts our economy in a particularly vulnerable position in light of Trump's uncertain & evolving tariffs. @callananseattle hosts @WAStateCommerce, @SeattleChamber, @SamChoTweets to discuss impacts: youtu.be/OfWkLjj1d54

I'm deeply dismayed and engraged by this decision by @pike_place. Japanese Americans accounted for 75% of vendors at the market prior to being incarcerated during WWII. Never again is now. @MktFoundation seattletimes.com/seattle-new…

Pike Place Market Foundation backs out of Day of Remembrance event

The event aimed to highlight the parallels between Japanese Americans’ incarceration during World War II and President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies.

There was a minor collision at @flySEA today between Japan Airlines and Delta Air Planes. We've had to temporarily close down our de-icing facility nearby. No injuries were reported.

Tariffs are inflationary. Period. And retaliatory tariffs by foreign nations will hurt American exports. Overall, this is bad for the economy. There's no way around it.

The idea that tariffs will stem drugs coming into the country is a straw man's argument at best...
