Spirit of the Beehive had been on tour in support of their new album, You’ll Have to Lose Something, when they got to Seattle for a planned show at the Crocodile. While in the Seattle area, their van, trailer, gear, and merchandise were stolen, they wrote on social media. The trailer was located, but “it was virtually empty,” the band shared.
After losing their van and gear, Spirit of the Beehive have been forced to cancel the rest of their tour. The North American trek had been scheduled to stretch into November.
Spirit of the Beehive have said that they’ve lost “over $100,000 of gear and work,” and, to offset the losses, they’re launching a fundraiser on GoFundMe. The band is also asking people to keep an eye out for the stolen van, a navy blue 2012 Ford E-350 that has the license plate LTB3679.
M.A. Vignola‘s first-half goal was all Angel City FC needed to earn a 1-0 road win over the Seattle Reign at Lumen Field.

Thompson has five goals and two assists in the last seven games.
On Thursday, Angel City (7-12-4) was fined $200,000 and docked three points for violating the NWSL salary cap. The win keeps them in playoff contention.
The Reign (5-13-5) fell to 12th place.

The team announced Friday that minor league starting pitcher Ty Cummings is headed to the Tampa Bay Rays as the player to be named later from the July 26 deal that also sent outfielder Aidan Smith and right-handed starting pitcher Brody Hopkins to the Rays in exchange for Arozarena.
Cummings, 22, was a seventh-round pick out of Campbell University in 2023. He’s outside of Seattle’s top 30 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline.
In 25 starts with High-A Everett this season, Cummings went 4-5 with a 4.17 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 124 strikeouts over 116 2/3 inning pitched. Opponents batted .263 off the right-hander.
Smith, 20, is now the No. 9 prospect and Hopkins, 22, the No. 12 prospect in the Rays’ organization.
The Mariners made the deal for Arozarena, a 2023 All-Star selection, with hopes he’d help spark a struggling offense that played a major factor in the team squandering a 10-game lead in the American League West. However, Seattle still fell short of the playoffs at 85-77 and finished one game behind the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers for the second and third wild card berths.
In 54 games after the trade to Seattle, Arozarena slashed .231/.356/.377 with 14 doubles, five home runs, 23 RBIs, four stolen bases, 28 walks and 68 strikeouts.
Arozarena is under club control through the 2026 season.
