Hey, I'm Ton Vin, host of Seattle Eats, a fruit podcast from the Seattle Times and KOWW.

Seattle's waterfront got an $800 million makeover to create a vibrant public space.

But is it a tourist trap?

I'll tell you where to get a good bite with raving the crowds.

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

Late last year, Mom's Bookstore in Seattle's Chinatown International District got a unique new cookbook.

The community cookbook is called Recipes of the CID.

There are some hot topics before the Seattle City Council's Governance, Accountability, and Economic Development Committee today. The committee could vote on legislation that would require council members to disclose to the

public any potential conflicts of interest while considering legislation. The Seattle Times reports

it would also make it easier for council members to vote even if they do have a conflict of interest.

The committee is also taking up legislation to approve eight-foot-tall digital kiosks across downtown

Seattle ahead of the World Cup. If approved and expanded, there could be as many as 80 kiosks across the city.

Boeing released its fourth annual safety report this morning since two deadly 737 max crashes in 2018 and 2019. The report says that since the

Things are going to shape up for the Memorial Day weekend, though.
