Finding available vaccines is a gauntlet. Software engineers built a solution
Even if you're eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, the process of actually finding and getting an appointment is anything but easy. After searching through a catalog of websites, you may still be out of luck when you call to check for availability. If only all that information was in one place! Bill Radke speaks with George Hu, a retired Microsoft software engineer and project manager, and the creator of COVIDWA.com, a website that aggregates COVID-19 vaccine availability across the state.
The Swinomish Tribe is leading the charge on local climate restoration
Native Americans are frequently the first to experience the effects of climate change. After a 2007 storm inundated the Swinomish Reservation on Fidalgo Island, the Tribe began a climate change initiative that's since inspired similar action from 50 tribes across the United States. Bill Radke speaks with Amy Trainer, the Environmental Policy Director for the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, about how the Tribe is leading the way on climate restoration efforts.
