“Run, Hide, Fight." 

That's the advice given to many students in the event of an active shooter at their school. Both the U-S Department of Homeland Security and the FBI support run/hide/fight as a safety protocol.

It could save a lot of lives, theoretically. According to the Gun Violence Archive and Education Week this year in the U.S., there have already been 30 school shootings that resulted in injury or death.

But - what happens when you can’t run, hide, or fight? What are you supposed to do in any kind of emergency - especially at school?

When you can't run, hide, or fight: How schools can create safety plans that accommodate everyone

There’s one seat up for grabs on Seattle’s city council this November. 

Typically city council seats are filled during odd-year elections.

But, when former councilmember Teresa Mosqueda was elected to the King County Council in 2023, she left a vacancy that needed filling. Tanya Woo was appointed by the council to fill the seat, until this year’s special election could determine a replacement to serve through 2025. 

Position 8 represents all of Seattle, as opposed to just one geographic district.

This week, Soundside is speaking with both candidates for the office. Today, we're speaking with incumbent councilmember Tanya Woo.

Your Seattle City Council Position 8 Candidates: Alexis Mercedes Rinck

In 2018, The North American Post, Seattle’s oldest Japanese-language newspaper, printed the final strip of Seattle Tomodachi, a comic created by Sam Goto.

Goto was a second generation Japanese-American, born in the Seattle area in 1933. He raised two girls here, working for most of his life as a dental technician. 

He passed away at the age of 84, just a few months before his final comic strip was printed.

For 5 years, Goto used his pen to illustrate the Japanese American experience in the Pacific Northwest.

The strips could be funny and whimsical. But his work could also be somber and reflective, as the main character, a young boy, grows up as an outsider straddling two worlds – caught between assimilating and preserving his heritage.

These are struggles the real Sam Goto faced in his life.

Now, a retrospective of Sam’s art and life has been compiled and published in a new book, called Seattle Samurai: A Cartoonist’s Perspective of the Japanese American Experience.

Guest:
Kelly Goto, author of Seattle Samurai: A Cartoonist’s Perspective of the Japanese American Experience, and Sam Goto's daughter.
