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: Red Lobster Considers Bankruptcy

The seafood chain Red Lobster is exploring a potential Chapter 11 filing to restructure its debts, based on insider insights.

Legal guidance for Red Lobster is provided by King & Spalding. The restaurant chain is contemplating terminating long-term contracts and renegotiating a variety of leases.

A sign reading “Open For Takeout & Free Delivery” is displayed outside a Red Lobster establishment in Secaucus, New Jersey, USA.

Established in 1968 in Lakeland, Florida, Red Lobster started with a single restaurant. The introduction of their famous cheese-flavored biscuits occurred in 1992, and the chain now operates hundreds of locations in the US, Canada, and international franchises.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.

Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.
