This week…

Seattle is known for being a magical place this time of year, but we’ve just upped the ante. It’s Hot Rat Summer! The notorious mosaic at Cal Anderson Park is sparking heated debates about art, graffiti and rats.

Plus, new statistics show Seattleites love to ride Lime e-bikes and scooters… But aren’t great at wearing helmets.

We’ll dig into all of it with Science Journalist Jane C. Hu and Seattle Met Food and Drink Editor Naomi Tomky.
