Weekend Listen: One of Seattle’s oldest businesses is also one of its biggest polluters, the 50th anniversary of the capture of the “Budd Inlet Six,” and people are waiting months in limbo after their citizenship ceremonies were abruptly cancelled

from Seattle Now · host KUOW News and Information

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.
