A nationwide FAA ground stop snarled flights at Sea-Tac on Friday

Friday's ground stop was only the third nationwide in modern U.S. aviation history

  1. Sept. 2001FAA grounded aircraft across the country and shut U.S. airspace by 9:45 a.m.
  2. Jan. 2023FAA's NOTAM system went down, causing a nationwide halt.
  3. Nov. 13FAA halted flights nationwide; the stop lifted nearly four hours later.

If you tried to fly out of on Friday afternoon, you ran into the first nationwide ground stop since 2023, the Associated Press noted. The FAA cited "extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety," and the airport said departures were temporarily suspended. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said a communication issue hit all .

The stop lifted nearly four hours later, and FOX 13 says nearly 10,000 flights were delayed nationwide. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said it was done "out of an abundance of caution" and that there were "never any lives at risk."

  • Michigan State kickoff: 2:30 p.m. Saturday, was 1:15 p.m.
  • Basketball tip at Utah: 11 a.m. PT Sunday
  • UW cross country teams: stranded in Sacramento

Washington teams felt it too. The Huskies football team didn't leave Seattle until after 7:30 p.m., and the men's basketball team now plays at Utah on Sunday instead of Saturday.

Seahawks head to Vegas mostly healthy, with Drew Lock set to start again

If you're watching the Seahawks at the Raiders on Sunday, the injury report is mostly good news. Seattle ruled out four players Friday, and none was expected to play. Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and edge Uchenna Nwosu are set to return after missing two games.

  • Quarterback: Drew Lock starts again; Sam Darnold is out
  • Left tackle Charles Cross: expected back for Week 12 at San Francisco
  • Raiders coach: Klint Kubiak, Seattle's offensive coordinator last season

Lock is on track for a second straight start despite elbow and oblique injuries. “I know he’s confident and optimistic, so we’re in good shape,” coach Mike Macdonald said. On the other sideline, No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza makes his NFL debut at quarterback for Las Vegas. It's Seattle's last game before the Week 11 bye.

The Wrap

A band called the Criminal Squirrel Orchestra is recording a live album in Shoreline this Sunday, Nov. 15, and you're invited to be part of the crowd. The show at the Aurora Borealis on Hwy 99 is free, and everyone there gets a copy of the album once it's made. We'd say that's a nutty good deal.
