Washington DC

Yeah, I don't know,

According to documents obtained by Streetsblog and interviews with several government employees, the Federal Highway Administration has been analyzing congestion patterns along several critical Washington D.C. corridors outfitted with bike lanes, with an eye towards an unspecified "reallocation" of lane space - which sources say likely means giving it back to drivers. (The FHWA acknowledged an inquiry from Streetsblog but did not provide a comment for this story.)

Step one, effective immediately, is to make roughly 400 carefully picked patents available online for a free two-year trial period. Specifically, any company that wants to try out one of the 400 technologies in its own research, development, and products can get what's called a Commercial Evaluation License (CEL) without the usual fee. Those 400 technologies- everything from a Navy-developed drone tracking system to novel Army mortar fuses - were chosen out of the thousands of possibilities by Michael's staff.

Snow is in the forecast for the DC area this weekend, with snowfall starting late Saturday, January 24, and continuing Sunday. Accuweather is predicting at least 15 inches over the weekend, while the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang says most models now show an average of eight to 12 inches. Matthew Carpucci, senior meteorologist at MyRadar, says six inches of snow are very likely for much of the DMV, and some areas could see markedly more precipitation.

Lakovic had started the 2025-26 season scoring nearly a goal per game with 18 markers in 22 outings before being forced out of Moose Jaw's lineup. With his final junior season cut short, he will now turn his focus to getting healthy ahead of what will be his first preseason as a professional, and Capitals general manager Chris Patrick expects Lakovic to be ready to work in the fall.

The Washington Commanders are in the midst of some substantial changes. Not entirely surprising when one considers the wreck that eventually became their 2025 season, but it's enough to put everyone on edge regarding their fortunes heading into the 2026 campaign. General manager Adam Peters has some tough choices to make. However, a respected Commanders insider believes there is one simple roster decision staring Washington's front-office leader in the face. And it's something fans have been shouting about for months.

Bethesda couple Lindsay and Andrew met through mutual friends at a party Lindsay and her roommate hosted in Adams Morgan. With some prompting from her best friend, Lindsay made the first move, and four and a half years after a first date at Roofers Union, Andrew proposed at the barn where Lindsay was spending time with her horses.

"It's a really notable sale, not only for the price point but for who's the seller," Abdalla said. "It's kind of bittersweet because it ends this chapter of the Backstrom family being in the area."

Atlas Brew Works, a solar-powered brewery that serves craft beers, moved into the building in November. At most breweries, the heat that's generated from the brewing process would be vented outside. But in the new building, any hot water that the brewery doesn't reuse is sent into a heat exchanger, which transfers heat to the hot water loop for the apartments. (The water itself never mixes; tenants are not showering in brewery water.)

📸: Hershey Bears/Facebook The Hershey Bears are hosting another Washington Capitals night this evening at Giant Center and the team will wear their tan Screaming Bear jerseys for the third time this season. The team will also be hosting a giveaway. The first 5,000 fans in attendance will receive Screaming Bear knit hats courtesy of PSECU. The hats were modeled by Cam Allen and Sam Bitten for Hershey's social media accounts.

It didn't take long for the Washington Commanders to come up among the suitors for cornerback Trevon Diggs after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys. His previous connection to head coach Dan Quinn dictated nothing else, in all honesty. That does not detract from the fact that this would be a high-risk gamble if general manager Adam Peters gave it the green light.

Tom Wilson had an incredible New Year's Eve that he'll likely never forget. The Washington Capitals winger started the day by being informed by Hockey Canada officials that he had made Team Canada's roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Hours later, the 31-year-old forward was on the ice for the Caps, starring in a 6-3 victory over a franchise he has regularly tormented.

When the Legislature passed its new digital advertising tax ( ESSB 5814), the message was that Google, Meta and Amazon would finally pay their fair share. But as of Oct. 1, these companies are not paying a dime. They simply updated their billing software, added the tax as a separate line item on every invoice and passed the entire cost directly to us - the advertisers.

One of the biggest reasons for the Brooklyn loss was poor offensive play for the Raptors, who were only able to put up 81 points against a current lottery team. The absence of RJ Barrett has really affected the offence as Toronto now ranks at a poor 20th in offensive rating after being top 10 for a good part of the season when they were on their season high nine game winstreak before the Canadian was sidelined with a right knee sprain.

Despite plenty of speculation that the Washington Wizards would be sellers ahead of the NBA trade deadline in February, Washington has the opportunity to flip the script and become a buyer. The Wizards have a few intriguing young prospects on their team, with the likes of Alex Sarr, Kyshawn George and rookie Tre Johnson coming to mind. However, it's clear that Washington is still more than one player away from returning to contention in the Eastern Conference.

If I'm lucky enough to get to that point, signing and joining Washington, I'll be super excited but probably super nervous too,

When I landed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to report on Capitol Hill as a junior in college, I immediately reached for my phone, fingers shaking as I typed out texts to everyone I knew. I couldn't wait to live out my dream of becoming a political reporter-and then, reality sunk in. I had to find an affordable place to live for three months, no small feat in DC.

Tracking down pandas from a 2004 art project. In 2004, artists made 150 panda statues that were scattered across DC as part of PandaMania, a public art project that captured the city's imagination.
