Another day, another chaotic mess in Seattle where Mayor Harrell somehow thinks churchgoers are the real problem. Over 31 arrests in just four days, millions in taxpayer money wasted on police overtime, and the city's brilliant solution? Blame the people peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights while Antifa runs wild in the streets.We dive into the absolute circus outside City Hall where eight more arrests happened during what should have been a simple religious gathering. From masked protesters throwing tantrums to police using bikes as weapons, this footage captures Seattle's complete inability to maintain basic law and order. The contrast is striking—peaceful worship inside, chaos and violence outside, all while city officials point fingers at everyone except the actual troublemakers.Is anyone surprised that Seattle can't handle a church service without it turning into a riot? How much more taxpayer money will be burned on crowd control because our leaders refuse to address the real issues? And why does exercising religious freedom suddenly make you a "right-wing extremist" in this city?
Another day, another Seattle disaster where city officials somehow blame everyone except the people actually causing violence. Mayor Harrell's mental gymnastics are Olympic-level as he tries to explain why 23 Antifa arrests at a permitted Christian rally are somehow the churchgoers' fault. We break down the chaos at Cal Anderson Park—yes, the same park that hosted the CHOP/CHAZ disaster—where masked agitators attacked families attending a lawful "Don't Mess with Our Kids" rally. The city approved the permit, police made proper arrests, yet the mayor still finds a way to blame the victims. What does it say about Seattle's values when peaceful worshippers need police protection from violent counter-protesters? Is anyone surprised that the same park that saw two murders during CHOP is still a magnet for mayhem? How is attacking families for their religious beliefs considered "tolerance"? Seattle's already short hundreds of cops, taxpayer money keeps funding this circus, and residents are left wondering who's actually running their city. Like and subscribe if you're tired of officials defending the indefensible while your tax dollars pay for the cleanup.
Jenny Donnelly, founder of Her Voice Movement, brought a special worship event to Seattle. Antifa assaulted people and police, with 23 arrests, and yet, Mayor Harrell condemned the Christians, calling them the extremists. Jenny joins us with the full story you aren't hearing in the news.

What do you call it when Mayor Bruce Harrell raises eyebrows with alleged praise for Trump advisors, a totem pole stands in the way of a park opening, and a tree divides a neighborhood? Just another week in Seattle! In this episode, we dive into Mayor Harrell's comments at a downtown business event, where he appeared to praise tech advisors to Donald J. Trump like Elon Musk. Was it an off-script gaffe, a calculated appeal to the business community, simply a fact about tech innovation leaders, or something else entirely? We discuss the comments, the context and what it might mean for Seattle politics.Then, we explore the battle between historic preservationists and the city over totem poles that has kept the newly renovated Victor Steinbrueck Park shuttered. What should happen to the contested poles? It's a classic Seattle story of process, history, identity, and bureaucracy. Finally, we look at the heated debate over "Grandma Brooks' Cedar" in Ravenna. When is it right to save a tree, and when is it time to let go? We debate the story of conflict between neighbors, activists, and the family of the woman who lived alongside the tree for decades.

KUOW has uncovered a controversial period in the life of Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell -- one that he's rarely discussed in public. In 1996, while at a casino in Iowa, Harrell brandished a gun in a late-night confrontation over a parking spot. Harrell was arrested over the incident before the charges were dismissed five months later. He says he was racially profiled in the events leading up to the arrest. KUOW’s reporting is the first local coverage of Mayor Harrell’s run-in with the law. It comes at an important moment because this year, Harrell is up for reelection. The reporting on the incident comes from KUOW investigative reporter Ashley Hiruko, who joined Soundside to share her reporting.
