The West Seattle bridge will be repaired, not replaced
A verdict has been reached on the West Seattle bridge: replace. But how and why was that decision made? Tracy Record is the editor of the West Seattle Blog, and has been following the story closely from the Accidental Island.

Businesses have closed down again to indoor service, meaning bathrooms are once again off limits. With libraries and community centers still closed, that makes simple things like washing hands difficult – even though it’s one of the most effective measures against the spread of COVID-19. Enter Seattle Street Sink, whose project team includes Real Change lead organizer Tiffani Mccoy.

At the moment access to museums is curtailed to everyone thanks to the pandemic. But when the doors reopen, what will institutions be doing to ensure they’re accessible to all who want to visit? KUOW’s Marcie Sillman spoke to Priya Frank, Director of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at Seattle Art Museum.
