Another victory for voting justice, just in time for July Fourth: Jim Walsh’s IP26-500 voter elimination scheme fails to qualify

Walsh's initiative sought to force Washington's thirty-nine counties to carry out a mass purge of the voter rolls before the 2027 general election. Despite using party resources for promotion, Walsh couldn't gather enough signatures by the July 2nd due date. He was left to watch as Brian Heywood submitted signatures for a measure to overturn the million-dollar earners tax while his own measure died.

The Best Seafood Restaurants in Seattle

Seattle is synonymous with seafood, and anyone who visits from out of town naturally wants to know where the city’s best seafood is. But that’s a tricky question.

Your Guide to July 2026 in Seattle

Today on the show, host Jane C. Hu is joined by producers Ashley Smith, Sam J. Leeds, and Liam Billingham to discuss all the best things to do in July. Liam requests recommendations for day trips on the ferry, and the team delivers: from a popsicle stand on Vashon to one square inch of silence in the Hoh Rain Forest. Plus, they discuss summer hikes, including the gorgeous turquoise Diablo Lake and Jane’s tip to check out hidden gems in Teanaway. Then, Sam gives a history of the surprisingly chaotic origins of Seafair, including literally setting ships on fire in Elliott Bay.

And finally, everyone runs through the month's best events like free movies at Northwest Film Forum, a fashion show on decommissioned railroad tracks, a 206-mile bike ride to Portland, and a dance night for the Swifties.

Sense narrowly prevails at SCOTUS as Roberts, Barrett, and the liberals uphold birthright citizenship over right wing dissents

On June 30th, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment in a split decision, affirming that children born in the U.S. are citizens, whether or not their parents have citizenship or not. The ruling hopefully has the effect of ending Donald Trump's attempts to overturn this sacred constitutional guarantee.

VICTORY! Democracy wins, authoritarians lose as laws allowing postmarked ballots to count are upheld in SCOTUS stunner

In the case of Watson v. Republican National Committee, the Court's six member right wing bloc splintered. Two of the bloc joined with the liberals to hold that the federal election-day statutes (3 U. S. C. §1, 2 U. S. C. §§ 1, 7) "do not prevent Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by election day but received up to five days thereafter; nothing in the federal election-day statutes requires ballots to be received by election day." This means Washington, Oregon, and other states can keep counting ballots with a timely postmark that are delivered after Election Day. VICTORY! Democracy wins, authoritarians lose as laws allowing postmarked ballots to count are upheld in SCOTUS stunner is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.
