San Francisco gears up for another major sporting spectacle as the Golden State Valkyries prepare to host the 2027 WNBA All-Star Game — a milestone for the expansion team, which is one of just fourteen franchises in North American pro sports to reach the playoffs in their first two seasons. With the city already hosting the Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup, and the MLB All-Star Game coming in 2028, SF’s sports scene is exploding. Meanwhile, wildfire updates show the Timber Fire’s evacuation orders downgraded to warnings after burning over 5,000 acres at 21% containment. In Oakland, two people were shot during a botched robbery attempt, both hospitalized in stable condition. San Rafael welcomes Paul Navazio as its new permanent city manager, who stepped in as interim leader last year after the previous manager left. And in Alameda, an 18-year-old faces felony charges for allegedly shooting a bystander during a failed robbery — charges include robbery and assault with an unregistered firearm.
