Hope Solo is back in the news. This time her husband Jerramy Stevens has been formally charged with a DUI, according to TMZ.

Starbucks mobile ordering launches today in Seattle. How it works: Use your Starbucks mobile app (only on iPhones at the moment; Android coming soon) to choose your store and order your drink in advance. The system, according to The Puget Sound Business Journal, then “tells you how many calories are in your order and how many minutes the store is from your location.” You then pick it up in store, skipping out on the long lines. Mobile Order & Pay will be available at approximately 650 locations in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Alaska. Starbucks plans to continue a national roll out throughout 2015. Will you use mobile ordering?

In tunnel boring machine news that isn’t Bertha: Brenda is plugging away and is scheduled to complete its path this morning and break through the ground near the Roosevelt light rail station.
