Is Seattle Ungovernable?

Seattle Nice

David is away this week, and Sandeep and Erica are in charge! Our question for this week: Is Seattle in a state of chaos? 

The evidence: The Seattle school district is considering potentially devastating cuts. Hundreds showed up at a Seattle City Council meeting to protest a last-minute proposal that could doom the city's largest anti-displacement program. Mayor Bruce Harrell  demoted the Seattle Police Department chief amid a swirl of lawsuits and allegations. And the King County Regional Homelessness Authority is about to appoint a leader by default, after all the applicants but one dropped out.

That's all just in the last week! Listen and leave a five-star review wherever you listen to this podcast.
