In our second episode of Prime(d), we’ll look at a relationship that has had a lot of push and pull and is now at place of asking, where do we go from here?

We benefited immensely from stellar reporting by The Seattle Times and the Puget Sound Business Journal and our friends at CityLab. Our theme song is by Raymond Scott. You also heard "Heartline" by Pezzner, a local Seattle artist.
