Human Trafficking In Washington State

Human trafficking is twenty–first century slavery. While it's often associated with the sex trade in foreign countries, the issue goes far beyond prostitution. Victims right here in Washington state have been found in a variety of businesses such as construction, housekeeping, food service, and agriculture. Victims advocates and law enforcement say it can surface in any industry..

Between Worlds / Behind Bars

From the dark days of the Chinese Exclusion Act to post–September 11 crackdowns on undocumented immigrants, immigration detention has a controversial history in both our nation and in the Puget Sound region. "Between Worlds / Behind Bars" is a four–part series exploring immigration detention from its roots in the 1930s at "Seattle's Ellis Island" in the International District to today's privately–run Northwest Detention Center on the Tacoma Tideflats.

Old Masters 2

How does an artist's age influence the work he or she creates? What inspires an artist to pick up a paintbrush or a musical instrument? How does the art form shape or transform that artist's life? "Old Masters" is an ongoing series about older artists, how they came to their art form, and how age has affected the art they create. Five Puget Sound area artists tell us about their lives, their art, and what growing older has contributed to their creative process.
