Good morning! Here’s what’s happening:

 

NEED TO KNOW

Would your child survive a megaquake? Nearly 400,000 Washington students attend schools built before statewide seismic-construction standards existed. Our state does little to address seismic safety in these vulnerable schools. In addition, buildings on the coast face the inevitable: an earthquake-fueled tsunami. Few are prepared. One plan: “Go upstairs and hope.” It’s the latest in our continuing series, “Seismic Neglect.”

The leader of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, Ron Smith, is resigning amid criticism over a Facebook post after the deaths of five police officers in Dallas. Meanwhile, President Obama has a frayed relationship with some cops, but today he will bring together police officers and civil-rights activists at a White House meeting. Hillary Clinton will attempt to emulate Lincoln with a “house divided” speech in Illinois. A fact check debunks Donald Trump’s dire view that “crime is out of control.” And Trump has declined to speak at the NAACP convention.

The FBI is giving up on its hunt for the most notorious hijacker in U.S. history, D.B. Cooper, who jumped from a Boeing 727 with $200,000 in ransom cash 45 years ago.

Check out our tax calculator to find out how much more you’d pay if voters agree to expand the region’s light-rail system. On average, taxes will go up $326 per household. But your lifestyle is surely anything but average. Use the calculator now.

Airbus stole the limelight from Boeing yesterday at the Farnborough Air Show, landing a $12.6 billion jetliner deal from AirAsia and releasing a playful YouTube video aimed at its competitor. Boeing received mixed reaction after its announcement of plans for a “New Mid-market Airplane.”

 

WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT

Seattle-based Juno Therapeutics has FDA approval to restart a cancer-treatment trial put on hold last week after Juno revealed that of its two patients had died.

And then there’s that other Juno — the spacecraft that arrived at Jupiter last week. NASA released Juno’s first picture from orbit yesterday, with the promise of lots more photos and discoveries to come as it settles into its mission.

Audubon Washington, the state chapter of the national group, is set to back Initiative 732, a climate-change tax, breaking away from a coalition Audubon still belongs to that opposes the initiative. See what columnist Danny Westneat has to say about the “liberal pig pile.”

The boyfriend of a woman whose 2-year-old son shot himself at a Seattle motel was charged yesterday with unlawful possession of a firearm.

All-Star Game: Homers by the Royals lifted the American League to a 4-2 win last night. Robinson Cano, the only Mariner in the game, played three innings and walked in his only plate appearance.

Over the years, some weird tales have emerged about the region’s urban wildlife, including an 8-foot sturgeon in Lake Washington, a “top dog” pig and a Green Lake woman’s squirrel risotto. Check out our timeline.

 

FURTHERMORE

Plenty more politics: A post-Bernie poll of young people finds that Donald Trump is wildly unpopular with young adults — two thirds of them say he’s a racist. But they take a dim view of Clinton, too. Meanwhile … she wanted to be an astronaut? Here are things you may not know about her.

Both Clinton and Trump are zeroing in on running mates. Kaine?Flynn?Christie?Stavridis? Trump plans to announce on Friday.

But wait, there’s more: Ruth Bader Ginsburg has broken the Supreme Court’s tradition of neutrality by assailing a presidential candidate. What she calls Trump.

And Trump today is seeking to block release of videos of him testifying in the Trump University lawsuit. Who decides? The federal judge he has repeatedly scorned and claimed is “a Mexican.” Check in to see what happens.

Practice proper sushi etiquette: What is Omakase versus okonomi? Can you eat with your fingers? (Yes, for certain types of sushi.) Read up on sushi etiquette so you can dine with poise and style the next time you’re at a sushi bar.

Seattle: home of the country’s best cocktail bar? Yes, possibly — Canon, in Capitol Hill, is one of four finalists for one of the highest honors in the drink industry.

 

EDITORIAL/OPINION

Driving while black in Seattle: Former King County Executive Ron Sims follows up to Danny Westneat’s Sunday column with an account of his eight traffic stops by Seattle police. “Has being stopped by a police officer for no violation made me angry? Yes, it has. It is demeaning and hurtful,” Sims writes.

 

TODAY IN HISTORY

Slaughter County is renamed Kitsap County in 1857, in honor of Chief Kitsap, a Suquamish military leader. The county was formerly named after Army Lt. William Slaughter, killed by Native Americans on the White River in 1856. Chief Kitsap had defeated Haida Indians at Battle Point on Bainbridge Island and built a large cedar structure called Old Man House. Port Madison is the first county seat; in 1893 it moves to Port Orchard.
