Hey, I'm Katie Campbell, host of Meet Me Here, KUOWW's Arts and Culture podcast. You've probably

heard you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Well, I disagree. On the latest episode, I talk to a

cover designer whose job it is to catch your attention. You'll hear about all the work that goes into

it. Plus, we'll critique the covers of some of

last year's most popular books. Listen to meet me here on the KUOW app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, good morning. I'm Paige Browning. It's Tuesday. This is Seattle now. Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in the year 2000. But last year, case numbers hit their highest in 34 years. And this year, the U.S. has seen nearly 1,300 cases well on track to beat even last year's numbers.

other vaccine preventable diseases that will eventually come back as well.

Coming up, we'll talk with University of Washington medicines, Dr. Helen Chu, about what's

happening here in Washington State and what's led vaccine rates to drop off.

development, expansion, or conversion of detention centers in Seattle. King County,

Taquilla, Renton, and CTAC have already limited where ICE can expand immigration lockups

in their jurisdictions. We've all been wondering where winter has been, and it looks like it's making a

brief but noticeable visit this week. The National Weather Service is predicting that a system moving

in tonight will bring a lot of rain to lowland western Washington. The mountains might even see a few

feet of snow, not a few inches feet. Great news for snowpack, but if you have cross-state

travel plan for Wednesday, you may want to reconsider. And, Tequila's getting a new tiny house

village this week. It'll have 40 tiny homes plus community spaces for unhoused residents, including

families with kids, couples, individuals, and people with pets.
