Despite the city's stated goal to increase tree canopy, Seattle’s urban forest is actually shrinking.

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.

Weekend Listen: PNW Bosnian community celebrates the World Cup, tiny forests are sprouting up in WA, and citizen scientists are counting pikas in the Columbia River Gorge.
Today, we’re bringing you the best from newsrooms throughout the Northwest. Bosnia and Herzegovina fans celebrated as their national soccer team made history in Seattle this week. The country made it the furthest they’ve been in the World Cup. Northwest News Network contributor Grace Madigan has more about what it means to the Bosnian community in the Northwest. Tiny, pocket forests are sprouting up all around Washington state. On old, abandoned fields and in people’s backyards. These forests are meant to mimic nature and to grow quickly. It also helps increase biodiversity. NWPB’s Courtney Flatt takes us to one of the Yakama Nation’s mini-forests. American pikas are an ’indicator species.’ If they’re doing OK, there’s a good chance the local ecosystem is doing OK. That’s one reason why the Oregon Zoo and other groups are looking for people this summer to go out and count pikas. OPB’s Kristian Foden-Vencil has the story.
