from Seattle Now · host KUOW News and Information
Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom. First, Democrats are working to flip a few Republican seats in the state legislature this year. One of them is in farm country in central Washington. Next, artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and many local governments are trying to figure out how, or if, they should be using it. In Snohomish County, local leaders are trying a new experiment by convening what’s known as a “civic assembly.” And finally, while many families can access free lunches during the school year, experts say summer creates a hunger gap.
