WOOF! Seattle shelters have too many dogs Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

Seattle is a super dog-friendly city, so it may surprise you to hear that local shelters are overflowing with pups in need of homes. The crunch has a lot to do with after effects of the dog boom during the pandemic, and it's sounding alarms for people caring for these critters.

We visit veterinarian Cardin Kennedy at the Seattle Animal Shelter and meet a pack of sweet dogs up for adoption.

SPD's (tentative) contract and what it means for the city Apr 11, 2024

Show notes

How much should a brand new police officer in Seattle make?

It looks like the new starting salary of officers will be in the low six-figure range, thanks to a new union contract with the Seattle Police Officers Guild.

The new tentative contract also includes large retroactive raises for current officers, and some changes to accountability.

Publicola Editor and Publisher Erica C. Barnett is here to explain what’s in it, and what it says about Seattle’s relationship with its police force.
