Rivian Takes On Tesla’s EV Dominance, Seattle ICE Protests, and the Crosslake Connection Is an Aries?

from City Cast Seattle · host City Cast

Today on the podcast, Jane talks with contributor Hannah Krieg and producer Sam J Leeds about Seattle’s response to the CPB killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis – including protests in front of the federal building, local legislators' response to the DHS budget, and updated numbers on ICE arrests and deportations in our state. Then Jane asks for help understanding The Stranger’s birth chart reading for the crosslake connection, which opens March 28th, making the train an Aries… or does it? And finally, the show wraps with a discussion of a new EV ballot measure, which would eliminate Tesla’s exclusive right to sell directly to consumers in Washington.
