Kettle: The Real Time Crime Center, Seattle CCTV, repped Seattle values in the Seattle way. They're not standard bills, they're "definitely not red state, red county bills." Public comment had little to do with red states. It was the federal government. You know, the one that runs ICE?

At the Seattle City Council meeting rn: public commenters don't want the Council to expand a police surveillance program. Why? Surveillance doesn't work and it's risky. Especially now, as the federal government can use this tech to target immigrants, trans people, and women seeking abortions (1/?)

Pan de La Selva started from Mayra Sibrian’s apartment in 2020. Now her pan dulce fills City Hall with color, conchas, and punk-to-pop soundtracks. Mixing Latin American traditions with PNW ingredients, she bakes for the diaspora and anyone hungry for pastries that make you feel something.

Seattle cabaret legend Julie Cascioppo has sung in Paris clubs, on cruise ships, and once even got recruited by the FBI. Now she’s telling her own story in a memoir, I Love Being Abroad. She’ll perform Sept 11 at Chapel Performance Space to celebrate its release.
