This week…

The Seahawks are in a good spot - one win away from the Super Bowl. 

Washington State’s Legislature could require cursive lessons in schools and allow alcohol in large movie theaters.

And we’re not done debating the name of our region’s big airport. They have a suggestion, but you may not like it.

On the show we’re kind of having a public media party. We’ve got a KUOW panel here today with Producer Andy Hurst and Editor Phyllis Fletcher.
