    Primary Elections 2026: Danica Noble, candidate for Position 1, Legislative District 32

    One of Washington’s hottest statehouse races is for a district representing northwest Seattle, Shoreline, parts of Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood. Legislative District 32 has an open seat, because longtime representative Cindy Ryu is challenging for a state senate seat. For Position 1, the candidate field in this solidly-blue district is crowded with Democrats.  For this round of interviews before the primary, Soundside is focusing on candidates who have raised more than $50,000 to fund their campaign.

    How UW scientists built an archiving technology as old as life itself

    How do you store a TON of data in a very small package for 250 years? Do you copy it onto a flash drive? Record it onto a voice message? Or, heaven forbid, write it down on a piece of paper? That’s a question that the Library of Congress considered when it put together a time capsule meant to be opened in the year 2251. We don’t know what the world will look like in that year and technology like servers and USB drives may be out of date. They could go the way of the floppy disc or CD. So, to give the time capsule the best chance of being understood by future generations, the Library of Congress turned to an archiving technology that is as old as life itself: DNA. And they did it with the help of a team from the University of Washington.  GUEST: Chris Takahashi - Principal Investigator at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering.

    Washington state sees it as restitution, opponents call it racial discrimination

    In 2024, Washington state took a novel approach to undoing some of the historical damage caused by racist housing policy. That’s the year the state launched the Covenant Homeownership Program. It provides no-interest loans to descendents of people impacted by redlining or racially restrictive covenants. Those loans can be used for down payments and closing costs.  So far, more than 1,500 home buyers have benefited from the program. And supporters say it’s giving people the chance at home ownership their ancestors were deprived of. But the program has opponents: After it was established, a nonprofit group quickly sued, alleging racial discrimination. And earlier this year, the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development launched an investigation into the program.  Guest: Susan Shain, freelance writer reporting for The New York Times Related Stories: Washington State Tried to Make Up for Redlining.

    XBox layoffs tell a larger story about a video game industry in transition

    The gaming industry in the Pacific Northwest has been dealt some major blows in the past few weeks. Monday, Microsoft announced it would be cutting thousands of full time employees and “restructuring” their XBox division, where 1,600 jobs were cut. It’s not immediately clear how many of those are Washington-based. Last month, Bellevue based game studio Bungie announced it would be laying off almost 300 full time employees here in the state. What's behind the upheaval in gaming right now? And what does this mean for our favorite franchises?  GUEST: Sam Machkovech RELATED LINKS: XBox CEO Asha Sharma's letter posted on X Xbox to cut 20% of workforce, plans to divest of five studios Microsoft cuts 4,800 across Xbox, sales divisions, redeploys hundreds more A Studio Shattered: The Aftermath Of The Mass Bungie Layoffs Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    Has TikTok ruined the Enchantments?

    The Enchantments are on the up and up.  Or at least, things are looking better than last year.   The 18-mile stretch in the Cascades has long been a popular destination for hikers and backpackers in Washington. But federal cuts and staffing shortages last year made the Enchantments pretty disenchanting.   In 2025, only one ranger was in charge of patrolling the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest - which spans 900 miles.  That made trail maintenance really difficult. We’re talking trash on the trails, overflowing garbage cans, and overflowing toilets.  It didn’t help that last summer, the area saw record-shattering crowds - with 2,400 people visiting on one day during the July Fourth weekend.  It’s been a year, and while some things have improved, there’s still a lot of work to be done in the region.
