China lifts ban on Boeing jet deliveries after U.S.-China continue negotiations
This story was originally published on China is removing its ban on Boeing delivery planes to its airlines after the U.S. and China agreed to a temporary cut in tariffs, Bloomberg News reported. Last month, at least three jets at Boeing's delivery center in China were sent back to the U.S. Now, China's domestic carriers can continue receiving deliveries of aircraft made in the U.S. China previously stopped all jet orders from all American airline manufacturers in response to tariffs issued by the Trump administration, which have reached as high as 145% on Chinese goods and products. Boeing had planned for 50 jets to go to Chinese carriers in 2025 when the freeze happened, with 41 either in the middle of production or already built. According to Reuters, Boeing claimed that other airlines were interested in taking the planes China rejected, but the airplane manufacturer was hesitant to move them. But, government officials from Washington D.C. and Beijing agreed to slash reciprocal tariffs of more than 100% on Monday. Now, a 90-day negotiation period has opened for international businesses between the two countries to continue. China represents about 10% of Boeing's commercial backlog Neither Boeing nor China's Civil Aviation Administration responded to Bloomberg's request for comment.

REAL ID deadline looms: WA residents face long DOL wait times
This story was originally published on The deadline for a REAL ID is a week away, and wait times at the Department of Licensing (DOL) are consistently more than an hour long across the Puget Sound region. By May 7, Washington residents will need to have a REAL ID—a state-issued driver's license or ID card with enhanced security standards outlined by the REAL ID Act of 2005. For those trying to fly without one after May 7, passengers could face delays, additional screening, or be turned away from airport security, according to TSA. 'Passengers traveling after this enforcement deadline should either travel with an acceptable alternative form of ID, like a passport, or enroll for a state-issued REAL ID through their state DMV offices,' the TSA stated. To add to the frustration, scheduling a DOL appointment is becoming increasingly harder as some locations are booked for up to 60 days. There are other forms of ID that can get passengers aboard a flight. State-issued enhanced driver's licenses (EDL) or enhanced IDs (EID), a U.S. passport or a U.S. passport card, DHS trusted traveler cards, U.S. Department of Defense ID (including IDs issued to dependents), a permanent resident card, a border crossing card, photo IDs issued by a federally recognized Tribal Nation/Indian Tribe, including Enhanced Tribal Cards, a HSPD-12 PIV card, a foreign government-issued passport, a transportation worker identification credential, a U.S. citizenship and immigration services employment authorization card (I-766), a U.S. merchant mariner credential, or a veteran health identification card (VHIC). The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) has confirmed it is prepared to help travelers get on their flights without a REAL ID by offering other identity verification procedures. TSA will even accept expired forms of the above-mentioned IDs by up to two years. It takes up to 10 business days for the DOL to mail out the new, REAL IDs. Follow Frank Sumrall on X.

This is the third minuscule earthquake to hit western Washington over the past week. A magnitude 3.4 earthquake happened two miles outside of Lake Holm on Feb. 22 near Auburn.
