Week in Review: Backyard cottages and no more Independents
Bill Radke reviews the week's news with Chris Vance, former state Republican party chair, Brandi Kruse, correspondent for Q13 News, and Marilyn Strickland, president and CEO of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
The Seattle City Council is debating changes to the way we build homes in the city, including more backyard cottages and limits on the size of homes. The Seattle Times says the council should wait to vote until the next election. What does our panel think?
Also, this week the Washington Independents political action committee ended. Co-founder Chris Vance tells us his story.
McKenzie Bezos, ex-wife of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, said she'll give more than half her $35 billion fortune to charity. Why was this big news?
Plus, Brandi Kruse tells us the story of her father's addiction, which she wrote up in a moving piece at Q13.
Finally: Do Washington state residents really not want to talk to you? Why are so many people on Mt. Everest? And how did a Washington state ferry hit a whale?
