Washingtonians disapprove of the cuts to education that the Legislature made in the 2026 session, Civic Heartbeat poll finds
55% of likely 2026 general election voters recently surveyed by Emerson College Polling for the Northwest Progressive Institute said they disapproved of the decision by the Legislature and Governor Ferguson to reduce funding for priorities like Transition to Kindergarten, Running Start, and K‑12 public school transportation in the budget, rather than raising taxes on large corporations to avert the cuts, while only 29% approved. Another 16% were not sure.

Does Seattle Like National Chains? Plus, Why Downtown Isn’t Dead After All
Today, Jane C. Hu is back, and she’s talking about the latest business news in Seattle. Joining her are Alex Halverson of the Seattle Times and regular contributor Marcus Harrison Green. They discuss the latest developments for Anduril, the very-real-but-fantasy named weapons company based here in Seattle that is expanding its footprint to Bellevue. They also talk about the news that DocuSign is staying in Seattle, and perhaps that downtown Seattle is going to remain attractive to local businesses and their employees who value good transit, nightlife, and all the pluses of a big city. The trio also discuss whether Seattle likes national chains and the give-and-take between employers and what they owe the city. Finally, they discuss their favorite spots to watch the World Cup. If you’re a neighbor (sign up if you’re not), stick around for a conversation about the state of thrifting in Seattle with Jane, Sam, and Ashley.

Phone-Free Concerts and Public Schools, World Cup Expectations, and the Crocodile’s Comedy Pivot
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? Liam is joined by executive producer Ashley Smith to give a rundown of the changes coming to Seattle in preparation for the first World Cup matches, including the pedestrian-only zones downtown and new digital kiosks. Then contributor Chase Hutchinson breaks down what the new ownership of The Crocodile means for the iconic venue, as well as why Tacoma might be getting its own sitcom, and if Seattle should do the same.

SIFF Reviews: “Are You Native?” “Powwow People”
When it comes to curating and programming — choosing which films get put into a certain category or get paired with another film for the maximum movie-goer experience — the folks over at Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) are doing everything right, because these two great documentaries (short doc and feature-length doc) that came out in this year’s SIFF are both Indigenous-made, both related to the Puget Sound and both feature (in some capacity) the master of Master of Ceremonies Reuben Little Head doing what he does best as a popular Powwow host throughout the west.
