Washington’s Aging Ferry Fleet, How the Millionaires Tax Fight Is Spilling Into Legislative Races, and Ranking PNW Horror Movies
Between an aging fleet and the recent sickout drawing attention to pay disparities, the Washington State Ferry system runs on a razor's edge. Fill-in host Liam Billingham asks contributors Hannah Krieg and Chase Hutchinson what’s happened since 119 ferry workers requested sick leave on the same day, and if the state is taking our ferry system seriously enough. Then, Hannah breaks down her reporting on the big business money flooding into a tight 48th District legislative race, and Chase shares his recommendations for this weekend’s Seattle Trans Underground Film Festival. Plus, just in time for Halloween, Liam and Chase are joined by guest Brian Keiper to rank the scariest movies set in the Pacific Northwest.

Real Power, Real Dignity: Closing Out a Fair Economy
Ana Gaeta, Communications Manager at the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County, and Deric Gruen, Lab Leader at People's Economy Lab, join City Cast Seattle Host Jane C. Hu on this final episode of Weaving Our Future: Stories for a Fair Economy to talk about what real dignity and real power look like for workers in King County. They dig into what happens when the Workforce Development Council hands people cash with no strings attached, how a group of renters in Brighton bought their own apartment building instead of getting pushed out, and the agency — the ability to choose your work, have a say in it, and share in what it produces — that ties both of their work together. To get involved, head to peopleseconomylab.org or seakingwdc.org. City Cast Partner Studios presents Weaving Our Future: Stories for a Fair Economy, a five-part series on what a fair economy looks like in King County, told through the people building it.

Seattle’s Weird Flyers, Blood Testing Sample Concerns, and Jane Says Goodbye
Today, Jane C. Hu hosts her last episode of City Cast Seattle (unless we can drag her back). She speaks with Madison Jones of Seattle Gay News about the concerning news that the Seattle LGBTQ+ Center has been ordered to send HIV/STI blood samples to a facility in Texas as part of a cost-saving measure, according to the Washington Department of Health. Madison explains why giving data to a state like Texas is concerning for transgender and queer people in general. Next, Jane is joined by Liam and Sam to talk about Seattle’s weird, analog flyers. This leads into a final segment where Sam and Liam interview Jane on what she’s discovered about Seattle doing this podcast, what she plans to do next, and what she hopes for the future of the show. If you’re a neighbor, you then get to hear about Sam, Jane, and Liam’s perfect days in the city. Join now to listen.
