Support comes from Voices Rock, a non-audition community rock choir with rehearsal locations in Seattle and Tacoma.

Voices Rock provides choirs for adults of all ages who love to sing rock and pop music. No musical experience necessary.

Come for the music. Stay for the community. Learn more at voices rock.com. Support comes from the Gates Foundation

Discovery Center, hosting a discussion on the evening of September 17th of Road Trip Nation's

documentary, Rethinking Higher Ed, with a screening of exclusive clips and a live panel

featuring students featured in the film. More at

Good afternoon. Welcome to a new week from the KUOW Newsroom. This is Seattle Now. I'm Paige Browning

with a roundup of today's top stories. It's Monday, September 8th.

I've got a quick ask for you before we dive into the news. On Seattle Now, we bring you the news you need to know twice a day.

And you get this show thanks to an entire newsroom of local journalists at KUOW who are following stories across the city.

You hear them all the time. Sammy West, Gustavo Suggero, Casey Martin, Ruby De Luna, Amy

Radle, and so on and so on. This week, it's KUOW's fall fund drive, the time every year

where we're on the air and on the pod asking listeners for support.

And now that federal funding for public media is eliminated, we now rely almost entirely on listeners and local businesses.

Please join as a monthly donor today.

The donation link is in the show notes. Thanks.

organizers are fighting the Trump administration's proposed repeal of the roadless rule,

which prohibits road building and logging on 45 million acres of national forest lands.

Kurt Russo is executive director of Cecila, which is the Lummi word for our grandmother.
