Will Seattle Say Yes to Taxes for Transit? Plus, SIFF Walkout, and Public Toilets Dethroned
Seattle's City Council unanimously passed the Seattle Transit Measure this week, sending a sales tax increase to November's ballot that would mean more frequent buses and 22,000 free transit passes for low-income households. Host Jane C. Hu is joined by contributors Ryan Packer and Chase Hutchinson to discuss what actually changed through two dozen proposed amendments, and what happens if voters say no. Then Chase explains where SIFF Cinema Workers Union negotiations stand after last week's walkout during a sold-out 70mm Odyssey screening. And finally, Ryan breaks down why two of Pioneer Square's public Throne bathrooms are being relocated. We’re doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners.

SGN Endorsements Rebecca Saldaña (King County Council District 2)
Our endorsement for King County Council District 2 is Rebecca Saldaña! Her decade of Washington State Senate experience, along with her commitment to coalition building and progressive policies, is ultimately what led us to choose her as the best option for the county council seat. As far as political track records are concerned, Saldaña has accrued an impressive résumé of policy achievements that would be hard for most to match. Since taking over the 37th District Senate seat in 2017 from Pramila Jayapal a
