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.

Listen to Seattle Eats on the KOWW app or wherever you get your podcast.

Hey, good morning. It's Zaki Hamid. It's Monday and this is Seattle now. In Washington State, the involuntary commitment system doesn't work.

That's something critics who want to make the process easier, and critics who want to see it

use less can agree on. So far, reforms from Olympia have been underutilized, if they're done

anything at all. We'll learn more about our involuntary commitment

system, flaws and all, with Seattle Times reporter Jayati Ramakrishnan in a minute. But first,

let's get you caught up. Local disaster preparedness officials say they're being barred from communicating with their

federal counterparts at FEMA.

FEMA told local agencies they'll no longer communicate with each other through the usual

channels.

That's according to a spokesperson for U.S. Senator Patty Murray.

Murray's office said the change appears to be part of President Donald

Trump's push to centralize control over FEMA's operations. Meanwhile, King County Council members

are calling on FEMA to reconsider their denial of emergency funding for last year's bomb cyclone.

Washington Attorney General Nick Brown is taken apart in a community town hall tonight,

focused on protecting democracy and the rule of law.

He'll be joined by attorneys general from Oregon and California.

Tonight's event is at Town Hall Seattle, beginning at 6 o'clock.
