Seattle Children's Asking to End Medical Review Committee, the Campaign to Overturning Gay Marriage, and Free Downtown Shuttle Service
Today on the podcast, host Jane gets a first-hand account from contributor Hannah Krieg on this weekend’s Laurelhurst protest. While the protest was being planned, Seattle Children’s Hospital announced they’re asking the city for approval to remove the Medical Review Committee for helicopter landings.
