KUOW’s 2025 Year in Review Live
It’s the last week of 2025 and so much happened!
Our summer was defined by a rogue rat mosaic in Cal Anderson Park.
Starbucks closed its fanciest store in Seattle: the Capitol Hill Roastery.
Seattle’s nude beach Denny Blaine now has a fence between the clothed and unclothed.
And Seattle elected its youngest mayor ever while pushing out its more moderate incumbents.

There’s a lot to reflect on, and thankfully our friends over at Week in Review took the time to look back on the year for their Year in Review event.
Bill Radke hosted the panel of Libby Denkmann, Phyllis Fletcher, and Sandeep Kaushik.
Mayor elect Katie Wilson and Attorney General Nick Brown were there too.
We're bringing you an excerpt from the evening.
