WA Subaru shop braces for price hikes amid new tariff on foreign cars
The Brief President Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on all foreign-made automobiles has raised concerns for local businesses in western Washington. A Subaru repair shop in Lake Forest Park has received many questions from customers worried about how much the new tariffs will cost them. LAKE FOREST PARK, Wash. - President Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on all foreign-made automobiles, set to take effect at midnight, has raised concerns for local businesses like Suburb Service, a shop specializing in Subaru repairs. Local perspective At the Lake Forest Park auto shop, owner Debra Christner has been fielding a lot of questions from her customers, many of whom are worried over how the new tariffs will affect the cost of repairs. "There's just so much uncertainty. People just don't want to do repairs right now," said Christener. "This is just straight out, 'okay, we're going to raise all these prices 25%.' That's a huge hit to a lot of customers." For the past 18 years, Suburb Service has focused on Subaru vehicles imported from Japan. Christner, who specializes in servicing this brand, explained that the impact of the tariff is still unclear, but it is expected to raise the cost of imported parts significantly. Christner pointed to common items like oil filters, air filters, and wiper blades — all imported from Japan or other countries like Mexico. In anticipation of the hike, Christner stocked up on essential parts. The hope was to give her customers two weeks of relief before the sticker shock sets in. However, once her stock runs out, the price increases will be unavoidable. "What it is today is not going to be what it was last week," added Christner.

WA native, astronaut talks to FOX 13 from International Space Station
The Brief Anne McClain, 45, is a Washington native and is currently living on the International Space Station. McClain is the commander of the SpaceX Crew-10 mission that launched on March 14, 2025. SEATTLE - As the world awaited the return of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, the astronauts stranded on the International Space Station for nine months, the crew heading up to relieve them included Washington native Anne McClain. McClain, 45, is no stranger to the ISS, having previously arrived on the orbiting space lab in late 2018. This time around, McClain was tapped to be the commander of the SpaceX Crew-10 mission alongside pilot Nichole Ayers and mission specialists Takuya Onishi and Kirill Peskov. "There is a heightened level of responsibility to so many people," said McClain. "Living aboard the International Space Station is an international endeavor, and there are so many people all around the world that have put resources and time into making this possible." Dig deeper McClain told FOX 13 that she works with hardware or experiments every day that qualify as someone's life's work. She said everyone onboard view themselves as stewards of both the station, and the path to becoming an astronaut. "As I always say, 'when you get to goals, don't forget to send the elevator back down for the next people,'" said McClain. McClain had long dreamed of becoming an astronaut, stating she first told her parents of her plans as a three-year-old. She'd achieve that goal in 2018 during her first mission to the International Space Station – she'd spend 204 days aboard the ISS while completing two spacewalks during that time. What's next Crew-10 is expected to work on more than 200 scientific experiments and tech demonstrations during their six-month stay onboard the ISS. Those experiments will include a number of research experiments aimed at preparing astronauts for exploration beyond low Earth orbit for future missions, including NASA's future Artemis missions. McClain was born and raised in Spokane, Washington. She attended West Point and is currently a colonel in the U.S. Army – she was an instructor pilot, with hundreds of hours of combat time before her first space flight. She called her path a series of big steps, one at a time. "So many people give up on their own goals before they're even told they can't do it," she said. "I think my biggest key to success from Spokane to the International Space Station was never giving up on myself."
