Are You Paying Rental Junk Fees? Plus, Expanded Transit and Time Capsules
Today on City Cast Seattle, Jane C. Hu is joined by regular contributors Hannah Krieg and Ryan Packer to discuss the news that Mayor Katie Wilson is targeting rental junk fees and what a renter should pay and what they shouldn’t. Then they talk about another of the Mayor’s plans: an increase on sales tax towards transit measures, which would up the 2020 figure of .15% to .3%, raising $138 million a year for transit. The trio discuss what kind of advantages expanded service could offer, especially late nights and weekends. Finally, in honor of the country’s 250th birthday, Jane tells Ryan and Hannah what items Washington lawmakers put into the Semiquincentennial time capsule, which won’t be opened until 2276. Suffice it to say, Ryan and Hannah have opinions. Learn more about the sponsors of this July 14th episode: Seattle Theatre Group pFriem Beer Grand Central Bakery Want to get in touch?

With August Primaries Approaching: How Do Democracy Vouchers Work? Plus, How To Make Friends In Seattle
Today on the show, host Jane C. Hu sits down with City Cast CEO David Plotz to talk about Democracy Vouchers. With August primaries coming up, it felt like a good time to refocus on one of Seattle’s most iconic political innovations. For the last decade, Seattle has issued $100 in vouchers to every voter to donate to the candidate of their choice in municipal elections. For the August primary this applies to residents of District 5. Jane and David discuss how these Democracy Vouchers work, how many people are participating, and what the impact on local elections has been. Plus, is the “Seattle Freeze” a real thing?

Senator Lindsey Graham: 1955–2026
The long-serving Republican, South Carolina's senior U.S. Senator, passed away on July 11th, 2026, due to an aortic dissection. He was known for his controversial stance on issues and close ties with Donald Trump, which came after he bluntly disavowed Trump before the 2016 presidential election. His death could seriously impact floor and committee dynamics in the United States Senate, leading to potential challenges for Republicans as they try to move their agenda before the midterms. Senator Lindsey Graham: 1955–2026 is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.
