Travel writer Rick Steves on Washington's newly signed "Millionaires Tax"

Only Charles Mudede could write a weather report I am both depressed and delighted by: "By Saturday, we will enter the 60s and begin our inevitable climb to days that are ruined by a sun whose power has been inflated by the human liberation of carbon."

How much are we supposed to tip these days? Listen in as @janehu.bsky.social, @mhgreen3000.bsky.social, and @bretthamil.bsky.social ponder that question and more on today's episode.

Good morning from Mercer Island station. Every reporter from the entire Seattle metropolitan region is about to cross a floating bridge on a light rail train for the first time ever.

ICYMI: Here's today's episode with @mhgreen3000.bsky.social, Sarah Stuteville, and @hearthmusic.bsky.social

Loving the extensive discussion of Housey from @citycastseattle.bsky.social and @bretthamil.bsky.social on the City Cast Seattle pod today. We would like to clarify that Housey uses they/them pronouns 😀. For all the fans out there, here's a blooper from Housey's day at the Capitol.

@citycastseattle.bsky.social I loved the segment about how we should not be gatekeeping who is and isn’t a “real” Seattleite. In a city where so many come from elsewhere, I believe there is only one question that matters: Do you want to be a one? If the answer is yes, you are. Welcome home!

We talked about this bill with Ryan in Feb. You can listen to get the full inside scoop here: seattle.citycast.fm/podcasts/ele...

TIL: Ken Jennings is a millionaire (and we're not mad about it)

the most delightful thing i’ve seen this week: @chum.news has a new column from a Washington State Ferries deckhand! www.chum.news/ferry-tales-...

Today on the podcast: it's the 40th anniversary of King County changing its name to honor one King over [email protected] explains, and @mhgreen3000.bsky.social and @janehu.bsky.social also discuss Bill Gates's ties to Epstein and how Seattle could respond megaphone.link/CC5911123495

When four new murals popped up in @samjleeds.bsky.social’s neighborhood they started wondering, why does it seem like Henry is EVERYWHERE now? Sam and @janehu.bsky.social spoke with @geisers.bsky.social to learn the ins and outs of public art and what the deal is with all the Henry in Seattle.

It was great to stop by @citycastseattle.bsky.social to chat elevator reform at the state legislature and the brouhaha stirring in historically-designated Pioneer Square over proposed on-street bike corrals. megaphone.link/CC8072318109

Who’s your favorite writer/artist/content creator in Seattle?

Back on @citycastseattle.bsky.social to talk with @janehu.bsky.social & @samjleeds.bsky.social how turning right on red is no good, why movie theaters are the best places to cry, + the way the city responded to an influx of drones during Super Bowl celebrations. seattle.citycast.fm/podcasts/why...

Excited that @citycastseattle.bsky.social is starting our “Seattle According To” series. It will show Seattle through the eyes of the people who feel deeply rooted in our city. And who better to kick it off than Cynthia Brothers of Vanishing Seattle? seattle.citycast.fm/guides/seatt...

There's a We Bought A Zoo joke from me in tomorrow's @citycastseattle.bsky.social newsletter and it made me remember this amazing twitter thread. @janehu.bsky.social - read from the beginning to the end. x.com/WEBOUGHTAZ00

Shout out to the great work @citycastseattle.bsky.social has been doing recently in the local news space. They're hosting a membership drive that ends TODAY, and if you sign up, you get this really cool map of Seattle. (Yes, the map swayed my personal decision to sign up. Can't resist a good map!)

@citycastseattle.bsky.social @deanspade.bsky.social @guyoron.net 💗 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

In honor of Valentine’s Day, @janehu.bsky.social and I talked to “Love in a Fucked Up World” author @deanspade.bsky.social about why dating in Seattle seems to suck so much right now and how we can make conflict in our friendships and social movements a little less destructive and more generative:

Here are some topics we've covered on the podcast lately: the "Revenge Bowl", renters rights, why dating in Seattle sucks, 7pm sunsets, what happened to all the music festivals, and more! Listen here: seattle.citycast.fm/podcasts 🎧

Seattle weather lately:

Regardless of what you think of the occupation or SUPER UW, their experiences tell us a lot about protest movements on campus and the way universities are responding to pressure from the federal government. I hope you'll give the episode a listen.

In mid-January the students were reinstated at school. But during those 8 months, many had to pay back financial aid, lost their jobs, were evicted from on-campus housing, lost health insurance & had to pay medical bills for concussions, nerve damage & more due to use of force during their arrests.

Students submitted records requests and learned about a letter the Trump administration wrote the University implying the GSA would pull federal grant dollars if the University didn't adequately handle the protestors. We discuss that letter and so much more on the podcast.

Today @citycastseattle.bsky.social released an ep we've been working on since the start of the year. @janehu.bsky.social & I talked to two students from SUPER UW's occupation of a UW building to hear what happened during the 8 months 23 students were suspended. seattle.citycast.fm/podcasts/wha...

Today on the podcast, @janehu.bsky.social is joined by @mhgreen3000.bsky.social and @benkeenan.bsky.social to discuss what Seattle's looking for from our political leaders right now. They also cover Starbucks' new AI "ordering companion", and what to do this weekend. 🎧
