Bill Radke reviews the week’s news with The C is for Crank writer Erica Barnett, Crosscut reporter David Kroman and former attorney general of Washington State Rob McKenna.

This week, Jenny Durkan marked one year as mayor of Seattle. How does she run the city and has it been effective? We discuss how the mayor’s governing style has changed City Hall.

We also take a look at how the 2019 Seattle City Council races are shaping up. Two councilmembers, Rob Johnson and Sally Bagshaw, have already said they are not running for reelection next year. What do we know about who is running and how the council might change?

Also, late last Friday the Trump administration released a new climate report that focuses on changes to regional climates. What did we learn about how climate change will affect Washington State?

Plus: What to do about sea lions? And can a city decide to not follow the law?
