Episode description
This week, ace transportation reporter Mike Lindblom gives a progress report on Bertha, the giant Seattle tunneling machine now halfway through its work on a waterfront tunnel. Then, a debate on I-124, the Seattle initiative run by a hotel-workers union that would require "panic button" and other protections for housekeepers and other hotel workers - rules hotel owners say are onerous and that would create an unfair "blacklist" of guests accused of harassment. This week's winner: Seattle's notorious "process" Loser: state Republicans dragged down and divided by Trump.
