“We will always be here in Seattle ... Let’s say I don’t get a contract [next season]. If I get a chance to work for the organization, then I’m going to stay here full time.” More from Kraken goalie turned Gasworks Brewing co-owner Philipp Grubauer, from the Times' Mike Vorel:

New Library cards just dropped, in collaboration with local artists Diego Fidelis and Ning Wan! Pick one when you sign up for a Library card, or swap out your old card for a new design (just remember, you'll get a new Library card number, too).

Two library cards.

The first design shows swirling colors and geometric shapes representing books, a library, and patrons.

The second design shows cartoon marine animals reading books together, including an orca, otter, seal, fish, and crab.

Text reads: New Library card designs!

"Seattle is my home. You are my family. And I will always be grateful for the incredible journey we've shared together." A message from Rick Rizzs on Instagram, ahead of his last weekend in the broadcast booth for the Mariners.

I want you all to know that I see you. I see your messages coming in, I see the pictures you're sharing, and I see so many names of people who have been with me for years. Some of your stories have already stopped me in my tracks.
I wish I could respond to every one of you right now, but I'm trying to stay in the moment and take in everything that comes with this final weekend. When I get through these last games, I'm going to sit down and read every message. I want to hear your stories and remember those moments right along with you.
For 41 seasons, you've welcomed me into your homes, your cars, your summers, and your lives. We've celebrated the unforgettable wins, gotten through the tough losses, stayed up through the late nights, and shared so many moments in between.
I don't think I was prepared for the amount of love you would send my way this week. It has meant more to me than I could ever put into words.
Seattle is my home. You are my family. And I will always be grateful for the incredible journey we've shared together.
I love you guys. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Go @mariners #tridentsup
Rick
