This week on Sound Politics... we’re having leftovers, tying up last week's primary elections before heading off to Seattle City Hall, where political pressure is building on the mayor and the police department.
Plus: Join Sound Politics on Wednesday, September 16 at 6:30pm at The Collective Seattle for "Voters Guide Live." This event is a collaboration between KUOW and Seattle City Club featuring me, KUOW's Cat Smith, Scott Greenstone, and Olympia reporter Sarah Mizes-Tan. We're talking about all the issues and races that will dominate your ballot this fall and answering your questions.
Find tickets and more information here.
