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?

Can USMNT catch up to world’s soccer powers after another World Cup exit?
It could be cost. It could be a broken youth system. But perhaps the main reason the USMNT lags behind the top-tier countries might be a whole lot simpler: Soccer is just not in our blood.
