Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom… First, one of Seattle’s oldest businesses is also one of its biggest polluters. Next, policy shifts are creating a state of limbo for people who are following a legal process in the Pacific Northwest, including those who are nearly U.S. citizens. Next, many of the orcas captured and sent to marine theme parks in the 1960s and 70s came from the Pacific Northwest… An incident 50 years ago this month changed that.  And finally, the sun is finally setting late enough that you may WANT to be leaving your house more these days… And maybe appreciate some local art.

feel free to celebrate-but not everyone is happy this. FW Residents were told it'd be quiet (we knew that wasn't true). waking up often because of noise + the ground vibrating. it messes negatively with your health? yep The new people in the area? yep. increased vehicle theft? yep. people walking out from bay 11, (no crosswalk), and nearly get hit by cars? yep. people sleeping on residents decks? yep. but who cares, someone gets to check the "complete" box and list it on their resumé.

In short, dog whistle sounds—whether training tools, natural dog vocal range, or decoded by dog translators—are a mix of science and communication. They’re how dogs “talk” in ways we’re only starting to grasp. https://www.dogwhistlings.com
