GPS Leads Driver Into Mount Baker Light Rail Station. Plus, How To Keep Beloved Local Businesses Open
Today on City Cast Seattle, a Utah woman drove her Mazda up the light rail tracks and into Mount Baker Station. Host Jane C. Hu explores this bizarre transit incident with guest Meron Menghistab, co-founder of CHUM News, and contributor Lex Vaughn, founder of The Needling. They ask, how did she get that far, and what can we do to prevent this from happening again? Meron also brings CHUM’s new report on lessons learned from the shuttering of three beloved local businesses: Columbia City Ale House, Waterwheel Lounge, and Shanty Tavern. The three discuss what the city can do to better support local businesses in the long run and what role individuals play in a healthy local economy. Then, it’s time for weekend recommendations, which include DJ sets on the Seattle/Bainbridge ferry to celebrate Washington State Ferries’ 75th anniversary, as well as Gays Eating Garlic Bread in the Park.

Will Another Transit Tax Measure Pass? Plus, Buying a Building for the Community
Today on City Cast Seattle, we start with an incredibly local story: Joining host Jane C. Hu is Jed Sundwall, founder of the Downtown Loyal Heights project, which aims to purchase an $8.8 million redevelopment site at the corner of NW 80th and 24th Ave NW. Jed tells Jane how he decided to try to purchase land he has always wanted to develop, and how he’s taken on a big project despite having little experience in real estate or development. Jane is then joined by arts writer Jas Keimig and City Cast contributor Chase Hutchinson to talk about the news that Katie Wilson wants to double the transit measure to increase the frequency of buses. The trio gets into what this means for taxes, public transit users, and the Mayor’s priorities. Finally, they talk about Hannah Sabio Howell’s campaign brand identity based on a piece Jas wrote for CHUM, the news that SIFF is championing high-quality exhibition with a 70mm run of The Odyssey at SIFF, and finally, Jas’s Substack and screening project Unstreamable.
