Lots of people around here fly with Alaska miles. This week, the airline announced they’ve made an offer to buy Hawaiian Airlines. If the deal goes through, the company could see an expansion in aircraft and routes. We’ll talk to Helane Becker, an analyst with TD Cowen about how the merger might impact Seattle.
Seattle recently set a record that no city welcomes. There have been 70 homicide victims in the city so far this year, which is a new record for the most homicides in a single year. KUOW editor Catherine Smith is here to tell us more about why this is happening.
Jurors will learn this week if three Tacoma police officers accused of murder and manslaughter will take the stand in their defense. The key question that has emerged for the jury: If they trust the police account of what happened the night Manny Ellis died, or the account of witnesses who contradict the officers.
This week… SOME of you didn’t vote. This year’s election had the worst turnout in Washington state history. Woodinville staple Molbak’s Home and Garden had a messy breakup over a 15-year development project. And we discuss whether some of Seattle’s tourism staples are over or underrated. Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays, the duo behind KUOW’s new podcast Text Me Back, are here to break down the week.
Seattle Parks and Recreation wants to build a children’s play area in Denny Blaine Park, which is also home to a popular nude beach full of history for Seattle’s LGBTQ+ community. The city says it’s to address a lack of playgrounds in the area, but Seattle’s queer community is mobilizing to protect one of its most historic spaces. Stranger Queer Culture and Politics reporter Vivian McCall is here to tell us all about it.
As the weather gets colder and wetter, finding shelter for unhoused people around the Puget Sound is getting more urgent. But things are about to change for a camp of unhoused Burien residents: the city struck an eleventh-hour deal to open 70 shelter spaces there in collaboration with King County. The decision was controversial, and it won't end high tensions in the city over how to respond to homelessness. Publicola editor Erica Barnett is here to tell us what happens next, and what other cities can take away from the story in Burien.
The Big Dark is upon us again as daylight grows scarcer in Seattle. Between seasonal affective disorder and the impending holidays, it can be a tough time of year for our mental health. Today, we’re looking at comedy as a coping mechanism during these dark, cold months. Seattle comedian Chris Mejia will tell us how he incorporates his depression into his work, and UW professor Tabitha Kirkland will explain why laughter helps our bodies and minds stay healthy.
Now that the holiday shopping season is officially underway, retailers across the country are going big with cyber Monday sales. But before you click, remember, Seattle has lots of independent artists and businesses where you can find a unique gift. We'll hear from crafter and President of Urban Craft Uprising Kristen Rask.
After the turkey gets cleared off the table this week, the Apple Cup is on. The long-standing rivalry game between the University of Washington Huskies and Washington State University Cougars kicks off for the 115th time on Saturday. It’s a year of lasts for the two teams, as UW prepares to leave the Pac-12 for a higher profile. Seattle Now Producer Vaughan Jones is here to tell us all about the history of the rivalry, and how to get in on the fun.
Thanksgiving is just a few days away. It's time for family and feasting, but also a great time of year to consider giving to your local food bank. Eric Williams, community partnerships director for Second Harvest Inland Northwest, and Nicole King, director of innovative programs for Northwest harvest, share the most impactful ways to give this holiday season.
Downtown Seattle was arguably the hardest-hit area during Seattle's lockdown as workers fled offices. As the rest of the city returned to its normal bustle, downtown lagged behind. City and county officials made it a priority to revitalize the area. But how well is that revitalization going? Seattle Times Business reporter Paul Roberts gives us a temperature check on the state of to
This week… We got a clearer picture of the new-look Seattle City Council. Is it a glow up? Time will tell. Seattle city employees got an email about how to save money in the midst of a fight for higher pay. And we discuss the most controversial topic of all: the merits of Thanksgiving turkey, as the biggest food holiday of the year approaches. Publicola Editor and Publisher Erica C. Barnett and Soundview Strategies Partner Sandeep Kaushik are here to break down the week.
It’s the start of the Big Dark here in Seattle. It's understandable that you might want to tuck in and keep to yourself, but freelance journalist Nathalie Graham says it’s the perfect time to get out there and meet new people. She’s been out and about trying all kinds of new things in the city. She’s here with us to talk about her latest experience with the Northwest Accordion Society.
Seattle Public Schools has thousands fewer students enrolled than 5 years ago. That
If you find you’re waiting longer for your coffee, you’re probably not alone. There’s fewer workers to get things done. And that’s something that’s happening on a larger scale. We’re seeing a shift in workers entering and leaving the workforce. UW Public Policy professor Jacob Vigdor is here to explain.
You may have noticed a lot of mushroom photos in your social media feed. Fall is a great time to get out there and forage. Now serious foragers aren’t likely to tell you exactly where they found that basket full of Chanterelles or matsutakes, but Daniel Winkler is willing to share a few tips. Here’s an archive episode of our walk in the woods for fall mushrooms.
This week, Seattle voters cast their ballots and early results look promising for the housing levy, but not for city council incumbents. Mysterious, white powder sent through the mail disrupted ballot counting while election workers evacuated. And Washington state is the land of potholes according to USA today. KUOW Anchor and Reporter Paige Browning and Vocal-WA Community Organizer Deaunte Damper break down the week.
Prostitution on Aurora Avenue has vexed Seattle leaders for decades. But two recent motel closures have led to a decline in sex work and crime in the area. It’s unclear if it will last. The Seattle Times’s Sara Jean Green explains how Aurora got this way and what tools the city and police are using to rein it in.
Non-presidential elections aren’t always the biggest draw for voters even with the future of the city council on the ballot. KUOW editor Cat Smith was watching the returns and will fill us in on what we know so far.
Grizzly bears are considered functionally extinct in Washington state because no one has seen a grizzly here for decades. But a new federal plan could bring large brown bears back to the North Cascades wilderness. Ecologist Chris Morgan is with us to explain why he thinks it’s a good idea, and why some people don’t care for the plan.

If shelters aren't built and sweeps continue to happen, then overall housing affordability has to change. This NIMBY stuff is going too far. People need a place to sleep. You can't just keep throwing your hands up and telling them to figure it out when there are little-to-no resources available.

Writing can be mentally https://www.assignmentuk.co.uk/write-my-assignment exhausting, so it is important to take breaks. This will help you stay focused and avoid burnout. Take short breaks every hour or so and use this time to stretch, walk around, or do something else that relaxes you.

6:55 Hold up. How did Councilmember Andrew Lewis get away with "un-promising" $2.5 million? That's unacceptable.

What I wish from this "Pandemic" is that people connect with the outdoors, but they aren't. I just see a bunch of crybabies connected to their electronic devices indoors.
