Snow: questions and answers
As you might have noticed from the deserted, sadly unsalted streets: it’s snowing in Seattle. How does that affect our most vulnerable residents? KUOW’s Kate Walters told Ross Reynolds about what the city is doing to shelter the homeless population through deep overnight lows. Meteorologist Rhonda Lee explained why this is happening (not the polar vortex!) and Ross Reynolds wants detailed information about where King County Metro’s buses are. We asked Torie Rynning from Metro communications.
Run, Fight, Hide
How do we prepare kids for a school shooting? Federal Way Public Schools uses a video called “Run Hide Fight.” However, they've edited the advice for their youngest students, grades K-12. In the post-Sandy Hook era, how young is too young for kids to see videos that prepare them for the worst? James Densley is an associate professor of criminal justice at Metropolitan State University. Steve Fisk is principal of North Central High School in Spokane.
Prime(d), Season Two
Amazon is the second most trusted institution in America – second only to the military. But is that trust misplaced? Joshua McNichols is co-host with Carolyn Adolph of KUOW’s Prime(d) podcast, the second season of which launches today.
In memory of Rick Anderson
If you're new to the area you might not know about Seattle's once dark underbelly. But for decades, that was Seattle reporter Rick Anderson's bread and butter. Crime, cops and corruption were his specialty. Last month, Anderson died at age 77; this is a re-airing of our 2011 conversation with him.
