This week… 

Seattle’s newest RapidRide line is only four weeks old, but already in need of some quick fixes.

Seattle’s EMTs are now administering buprenorphine to people struggling with opioids as part of a first-in-the-nation program.

And a reminder: Don’t feed wild raccoons. A woman in Kitsap County learned the hard way.

Author Geraldine DeRuiter and Commute Seattle Executive Director Alex Hudson are here to break down the week.
