Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom…

Transgender people in Washington’s state prisons are still fighting for better treatment, years after the Department of Corrections agreed to make changes.

Now that Congress has cut funding for the federal food assistance program SNAP, hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians who use the program are trying to figure out what this means for them.

And even after 50 years, Dungeons and Dragons is still growing in popularity, thanks to “actual play podcasts” like Dimension 20, which stopped by Climate Pledge Arena last month.
