This episode delves into three political developments in Seattle and King County. Part I examines a proposed initiative to ban unauthorized public camping in unincorporated King County, discussing its scope, the signature-gathering process, and the larger goals of its main proponent, Saul Spady. Part II focuses on the B&O tax increase proposal which passed out of committee unanimously last week, exploring its financial implications, its goals, recent amendments, and its potential impact on Mayor Harrell's re-election. Part III gets into City Attorney Ann Davison and Mayor Bruce Harrell's lawsuit against the Trump administration, and the timing … just before the August primary.
