What Do We Do About Aurora? It’s Complicated
Today on the podcast, we dig into the issues surrounding Aurora Avenue. Aurora has a long and complicated history, and more recently, local residents’ relationship to one northern section of the road has only gotten more so: the section of the road between 85th and 105th streets experiences frequent gunfire, which some believe is rooted in sex trafficking. Earlier this summer, neighbors, dissatisfied with the city's response, took matters into their own hands and placed makeshift barriers blocking through traffic on their streets. We wanted to hear from some of those neighbors directly, so host Jane C. Hu and producer Sam J. Leeds talk with a community advocate who led a walk of Aurora for local community members and lawmakers, a sex worker impacted by the city’s policing efforts, and a resident reimagining the future of Aurora.

How a Civic Assembly Changed Minds on AI. Plus, the WA Lawsuits Over Schools and Housing
A civic assembly of 29 Snohomish County residents just spent three weekends wrestling with one of the thorniest questions in local government: how should officials use AI and should they use it at all? Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu talks with KNKX reporter Nate Sanford and assembly participant Dhruv Raithatha about what it's actually like to build consensus with strangers. Then contributors Brett Hamil and Chase Hutchinson join for a midweek medley covering Washington's growing list of federal lawsuits, the Seahawks' new billionaire owners, the Seattle Public Library levy fight, and a new film shooting in the city next month.

Are You Paying Rental Junk Fees? Plus, Expanded Transit and Time Capsules
Today on City Cast Seattle, Jane C. Hu is joined by regular contributors Hannah Krieg and Ryan Packer to discuss the news that Mayor Katie Wilson is targeting rental junk fees and what a renter should pay and what they shouldn’t. Then they talk about another of the Mayor’s plans: an increase on sales tax towards transit measures, which would up the 2020 figure of .15% to .3%, raising $138 million a year for transit. The trio discuss what kind of advantages expanded service could offer, especially late nights and weekends. Finally, in honor of the country’s 250th birthday, Jane tells Ryan and Hannah what items Washington lawmakers put into the Semiquincentennial time capsule, which won’t be opened until 2276. Suffice it to say, Ryan and Hannah have opinions. Learn more about the sponsors of this July 14th episode: Seattle Theatre Group pFriem Beer Grand Central Bakery Want to get in touch?
