Summary
This week…
It was hot, hot, hot in Seattle… that’s it, full stop.
SeaTac’s flashy new July 4 drone show made a splash in the worst way, with a few drones taking an unplanned dip in Angle Lake.
And did I mention it was hot? Seattle Department of Transportation had to get the hoses out to keep the bridges from breaking down.
Author and speaker Jodi-Ann Burey and Publicola Editor and Publisher Erica Barnett are here to break down the week.
