Is Seattle Anti-Business? Plus, Cruise Ship Impact & Renaming the Cascades
Rumors of Starbucks' expansion to Nashville to "refocus its growth" have heightened an already-heated debate about whether or not Seattle and its new democratic socialist mayor are creating a hostile environment for big business.
