These days, there's so much news.

It can be hard to keep up with what it all means for you, your family, and your community.

The Consider This Podcast from NPR features our award-winning journalism.

Six days a week, we bring you a deep dive on a news story and provide the context and analysis that helps you make sense of the news.

We get behind the headlines.

We get to the truth.

It seems our signature vehicle has been overtaken by another household name. Is the Tesla the new

car of Seattle? And Seattle City Council President Sarah Nelson's campaign office left a little

something extra in a memo this week, leading to a peak behind the political curtain.

Author and blogger Geraldine DeRoyder and author Danielle Marie Holland are here to break down the week,

but first, let's get you caught up.
