Hi, it's Terry Gross, host of Fresh Air. Hey, take a break from the 24-hour news cycle with us

and listen to long-form interviews with your favorite authors, actors, filmmakers,

comedians, and musicians, the people making the art that nourishes us and speaks to our times.

So listen to the Fresh Air podcast from NPR and WHYY.

Hey, good morning. I'm Patricia Murphy. It's Monday. This is Seattle now. After roosting for years at the University of Washington Bothell campus, thousands of crows recently moved to Redmond.

Doug Wacker studied the birds for years at Udub Bothll,

and he's since tracked down their new roost. We'll have more on the crow's new home in a minute,

but first, let's get you caught up.

Aounsel is moving forward with plans to redevelop the area that once housed Molbeck's Garden and Home Center.

The Seattle Times reports the plan includes 1,300 housing units, a 200-room hotel plus retail, restaurant, and office space.

One thing the project will not include, a revamped Mulbacks, which closed in 2024. A new garden center

got scrapped due to rising costs. Governor Bob Ferguson is meeting for a second time with

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver today, and there is no doubt about what they're talking about.

The NBA Board of Governors is meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday

and will vote on whether to open up expansion bids for Seattle and Las Vegas. If the yes vote goes

through, the new plan is to have a team in Seattle back for the 28 NBA season, according to ESPN.

And hey, real talk now. Every day, twice a day. You listen to Seattle now

and learn something about this place. This show is powered by an entire newsroom following local
