  • Ex-SPD Chief Diaz Fired, Bus Stabbing Sparks Safety Debate, Graffiti Crackdown
    2024/12/20

    This week Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell fired former SPD chief Adrian Diaz following an investigation by the city’s Office of Inspector General. The report found Diaz violated a number of city policies in the course of a workplace relationship that he tried to cover up. We take a closer look at the report and talk about the fallout for the city.

    Next, the pod discusses the fatal stabbing of a bus driver in Seattle's University District that's sparking a debate about public safety. Plus, the latest graffiti crackdown.

    Our editor is Quinn Waller.

  • Anti-"strip club" petitioners and Seattle's debate about crowd control
    2024/12/13

    Seattle's City Council is considering legislation to remove restrictions on the use of “less lethal” weapons for crowd control. Should SPD be allowed to use "blast balls" on protestors? Erica's been covering it. We take a closer look.

    In Part Deux we discuss the brewing controversy over a Ballard bar applying for an "adult cabaret" license. A nearby property owner is circulating a petition in protest, calling it a "strip club." Is moralism making a comeback in Seattle?

    Hear our hot takes and look for Erica's story on Publicola later this week.

    Plus, Sandeep issues a clarification from last week's episode.

  • The good, the bad, and the ugly takes on Tammy Morales quitting Seattle's City Council
    2024/12/05

    Tammy Morales has announced she's quitting the city council in January. She accused some colleagues of treating her very poorly and also told Erica she sees no point in continuing because she can't make any progress whatsoever passing progressive legislation with the current, more centrist council.

    Is the current council toxic? Is Morales right to quit? Is she abandoning her progressive allies? We take a closer look at these questions, and speculate on the fallout from the move in 2025.

    As our regular listeners might expect, Erica sides with Morales, Sandeep is less sympathetic, and David questions the consistency of both.

    Our editor is Quinn Waller.
