Quick Glance: Majority of Seattle-area Renters Report Significant Rent Increases in Past 12 Months
- While rents in the Seattle area and nationally surged in the early pandemic years, the rental market seems to have calmed since 2023, providing some relief to local tenants.
- However, recent survey data from the US Census Bureau suggests that the majority of renters in the Seattle area may not agree with these reports.
- Out of the estimated 658,000 individuals who experienced rent hikes, approximately 113,000 had a relatively minor increase of under $100. A significantly larger group - around 306,000 - saw their rent rise between $100 and $249 per month.
- Established in 2020 as a response to the pandemic, the initiative aimed to inform authorities and policymakers about the pandemic's effects on communities nationwide and offer data to support recovery post-pandemic.

Quick Glance: Haitian PM Tenders Resignation After Jamaica Talks
- Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has resigned as head of the Caribbean nation following talks in Jamaica, as confirmed by a regional leader. Henry, an unelected figure, has held this role since the 2021 assassination of the country's last president.
- The establishment of a transitional presidential council and appointment of an interim prime minister were acknowledged by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) chair and Guyanese President Irfaan Ali, who expressed gratitude for Henry's service to Haiti.
- Due to a surge in violence in the capital during his absence in Kenya, Henry was unable to return, prompting the need for a presidential council to appoint an interim prime minister and prepare for upcoming elections in Haiti.
- The United States has called for an accelerated political transition as armed groups seek to destabilize the government. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the creation of an independent presidential college to address the urgent need for political stability and security in Haiti.
