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

First, the latest on the closest big fire to the Seattle area… the Little Giant Fire.

Next, every spring, scores of volunteers get together in Newport, Oregon to dissect hundreds of juvenile salmon.

And finally, after a flurry of art, tattoos and even a bobble head made in Jimothy’s honor... A local man has created an 8-Bit video game.
