    What does the future of Sound Transit light rail look like in the region?

    Sound Transit is looking at potential cuts and readjustments to its ST3 plan. Voters approved the vision for the next phase of regional transit nearly a decade ago. But last year, Sound Transit announced it was somewhere between 30 and 40 billion dollars in the hole. At a Sound Transit retreat in March, board members were presented with the reality that they may need to drop planned stations or entire lines in Ballard, Issaquah, Everett, and Tacoma.  So what happens next? And how will affected communities respond? Guest: Ryan Packer, contributing editor at The Urbanist Kristina Walker, Tacoma City Councilmember, Chair of the Sound Transit Board Rider Experience and Operations Committee, and chair of Pierce Transit Mark Mullet, Issaquah Mayor David Scott, board chair of Seattle Subway Relevant Links:  The Urbanist: Three More Takeaways from a Pivotal Sound Transit Board Retreat The Urbanist: Snohomish County Has Sound Transit's Regional Rail Spine Top of Mind Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    Marijuana research may reach new heights as Trump Administration reclassifies medical cannabis

    The Trump Administration is changing federal cannabis policy. On Thursday acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed an order reclassifying medical marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug.  That puts the drug in the same category as substances like ketamine and anabolic steroids. Now, this doesn’t mean cannabis is legal nationwide, and people with convictions related to marijuana won’t see their charges dropped. But officials say it’ll allow for more research into cannabis for medical use. For distributors in the 40 states that have medical marijuana systems already in place, it could mean tax benefits and less hoops to jump through when selling cannabis. This reclassification does not impact recreational marijuana. But advocates say it could be a sign of bigger changes to come.

    Is it worth it to host the World Cup? It depends.

    In less than two months, Seattle will begin hosting matches for the 2026 World Cup.  And, like in the 10 other U.S. host cities, there is a lot of excitement here about this mega international sporting event coming to town. ... But there's likely some trepidation, too, as people think ahead to the congested streets, possible transit hangups and big crowds.  Seattleites could be tempted to ask, how did we get roped into this and will it be worth it? We called up a sports economist for answers.  Guest: Victor Matheson, a professor at College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts Related links: "The Economics of the World Cup" by Victor Matheson The World Cup is around the corner.

    The PNW-India relationship, from Cosmic Crisp apples to tech

    If you’ve walked through Westlake Park recently, perhaps you’ve noticed the new statue of Swami Vivekananda, a philosopher and Hindu monk. Vivekananda is credited with introducing yoga and the Vedanta philosophy to a global audience. That statue is a gift to the city from the government of India. People from India represent more than 10 percent of Washington’s foreign-born residents. As of 2024, nearly 95,000 King County residents were born there.  The statue is part of a broader cultural diplomacy initiative, according to the consulate general in Seattle. The diplomatic outpost opened two years ago, and India's consul general in Seattle joined Soundside to talk about the relationship between the Pacific Northwest and India.  Guest Consul General Prakash GuptaRelated Links America's First Guru - PBS Trump’s Changes Lock Some Employers Out of H-1B Visa Program & As H-1B Visa Program Changes, Skilled Foreign Workers Consider Leaving U.S.  - The New York Times   Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    American healthcare workers consider careers north of the border

    Canada needs healthcare workers, but there just aren't enough of them in the country. So they've amped up their efforts to recruit medical professionals from other countries, especially the United States. And Canada is seeing quite a bit of success. Last year, the British Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons reported licensing three times the number of American physicians than they had the year before. One person trying to recruit Americans to work in Canada is Tod Maffin. Tod is a former national CBC radio host and producer. He now runs a newsletter and podcast called Mirror Falls. And he's one of the organizers of the Nanaimo Healthcare Infusion this weekend.  Guest: Tod Maffin, former national CBC radio host and producer.
