USA Men's Soccer spotlights patriotism in Seattle

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

In Tukwila, a class of fourth graders ended the school year with a big, public art show full of mixed emotions. The school is a hub for new immigrant students, and the artwork celebrates some of their journeys. As KUOW’s Gustavo Sagrero reports, the show came at the end of a tough year, as immigration enforcement took a toll on this classroom.

It’s been five years since a record-shattering heat wave hit the Northwest, killing an estimated twelve-hundred people. As the world’s climate keeps warming, we can expect more heat—and more deaths. John Ryan looks at efforts to make our next heat wave less deadly.

Road trash cleanup often involves people along a highway in orange vests with those little grabbers and plastic bags. But in Oregon, there’s an annual trash pickup event that’s more like a party. Thousands of people come together to drive hundreds of miles of forest service roads picking up trash by day and camping out with live music and fun at night. Matt Martin was there last weekend.
