Is Seattle Anti-Business? Plus, Cruise Ship Impact & Renaming the Cascades
Rumors of Starbucks' expansion to Nashville to "refocus its growth" have heightened an already-heated debate about whether or not Seattle and its new democratic socialist mayor are creating a hostile environment for big business. But with Tennessee offering generous tax incentives to corporations, what's really driving the move? City Cast Nashville executive producer Whitney Pastorek joins City Cast Seattle host Jane C.
