Seattle is reportedly within range of a North Korean nuclear missile, and there's a war of words between President Trump and Kim Jong-Un. Should we be afraid?

Puget Sound is still tucked in beneath a smoky haze from British Columbia wildfires. But has it really "ruined summer?"

Seattle considers letting people living in their cars park for longer periods of time, to save them from paying off parking tickets when they could be saving up for a place to live.

And hundreds of mountain goats are endangering the landscape at Olympic National Park. But do we really have to shoot them? 

Listen to the show on Fridays at noon and join the conversation on Twitter using #KUOWwir.
