Birds v. Pickleball

New SPD Chief

Library Ransomware

32-Hour Work Week

Have a great Friday!

This week…

Holy moly what a week, and not just for former United States Presidents.

Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz is out, replaced in the interim by a familiar face.

Seattle Public Library had its system taken down by a ransomware attack.

And we check in on how San Juan County employees are enjoying their 32-hour work weeks… Here’s a hint: some of them got new hobbies.

Needling Editor-in-Chief Lex Vaughn and Ticket Editor Chase Burns are here to break down the week.
