Here’s a worrying statistic: pedestrian deaths in Seattle are increasing, even though the city has been working for years to make streets safer for people walking and biking. The intersection at Rainier Avenue and South Walden Street is one of the most dangerous in the city.

On today's episode, KUOW Reporter Casey Martin dives into the problems with the intersection and tells us what might help.
