Today on the podcast, producer Liam Billingham takes over the host seat to ask the important questions like what Phoebe Bridgers and Seattle Public Schools have in common (hint: it has to do with cell phones) and what format is the film The Odyssey best viewed in?

65% of Washington voters support an “away for the day” ban on mobile phones in all K‑12 public schools, with just 27% opposed
NPI's research finds that most voters are on board with Superintendent Chris Reykdal and Governor Bob Ferguson's plans to propose legislation to require all K-12 public schools to generally prohibit mobile device use during the school day, which experience suggests can reduce distractions and enhance student engagement even if it doesn't spur a big improvement in academic outcomes. 65% of Washington voters support an “away for the day” ban on mobile phones in all K‑12 public schools, with just 27% opposed is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.

Council Votes on Data Center Ban Today, Wilson Activates Stadium Cameras, and Condos for Cars?!
Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is joined by contributor Hannah Krieg and guest Adam Willems, co-founder of CHUM news, to talk about surveillance, data centers, and test their general Seattle news knowledge in a new quiz. First, Adam shares what he learned about the forthcoming data center moratorium being voted on this afternoon in his reporting for The Guardian. He explains the last-minute amendment passed last week, which allows existing datacenters in Seattle to apply for expansions to their power usage, up to 20 megawatts of additional power, during the moratorium. Then Jane and Hannah break down the “general but credible threat” that Mayor Katie Wilson says led her administration to turn on surveillance cameras in the Stadium district ahead of the World Cup, and what it means for the city’s approach to surveillance. Finally, how well do you know our city’s recent headlines? Jane created a news quiz to test your Seattle knowledge against two local journalists.

64% of Washington voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s job performance, a new record in NPI’s Civic Heartbeat polling
Even more striking, the percentage of voters in the Evergreen State who approve of Trump's job performance fell to 30% in NPI's spring survey of the Washington electorate, which is 4% less than the previous low. Nationally, Trump's job performance rating is also declining, with Trump's war of choice in Iran and increasing prices alienating even his own voters. 64% of Washington voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s job performance, a new record in NPI’s Civic Heartbeat polling is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.
