Hey good morning. I'm Patricia Murphy. It's Thursday. This is Seattle now. Election Day is less

than a month away. The stakes are high in Seattle's mayoral race as the city grapples with affordability, policing, and homelessness.

Seattle Times reporter David Cromen is here to talk about how the race between incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell and Challenger Katie Wilson is playing out.

But first, let's get you caught up.

A West Seattle author is a finalist for the prestigious National Book Awards.

Claudia Rowe is one of five authors being considered for nonfiction. Her book, Wards of the State, the long shadow of American foster care, examines the foster care to prison pipeline. Roe is a former Seattle

Times reporter and current member of the paper's editorial board. The winners will be announced

November 19th. The University of Washington today will hold its 20th annual reading of the U.S.

Constitution. It's hosted by U.W. Libraries, and participants will read about a minute each of

the full text. The event will begin with remarks from community members about their sworn oaths

to uphold the Constitution, including a Navy officer and a judge. It all begins at

three o'clock this afternoon at the Allen Library. You can also join by Zoom. And all Washington

State parks are free tomorrow. That means you don't need a discover pass to park. You may

want to pack your rain gear, though. After tomorrow, the next free admission day is Veterans Day, November 11th.
