Podcasts about north seattle

Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom and KNKX. First, as Seattleites reel from the city's worst mass shooting in years, North Seattle voters are poised to pick a new city councilmember. That race that will likely be defined by gun violence. KUOW’s Scott Greenstone reports. And, tribal families from around the Northwest have been traveling in traditional cedar canoes since mid July, part of an annual canoe journey. The theme of this year’s journey is “healing through our waters by honoring our ancestors.” The destination is the Nisqually Medicine Creek Potlach, near Olympia. KNKX environment reporter Bellamy Pailthorp got an invitation to ride along during a practice with the Nisqually Canoe Family. She brings us this audio postcard.

Tarra Simmons asks Ethics Board to dismiss misconduct allegations // Guest: Rep. Dan Griffey // Quick Hits

North Seattle residents got tired of waiting. Tired of watching sex traffickers work the Aurora Avenue corridor night after night while city hall looked the other way. So they did what Mayor Katie Wilson wouldn't — they blocked the streets themselves, throwing up makeshift barricades to break the johns' loop and take back their neighborhood by force.Now, after months of community pressure made the city's inaction impossible to ignore, Seattle officials are announcing their own formal street closures. Mayor Wilson and SDOT are framing this as a response to a "clear message" from residents — which is one way to describe what happens when a government fails so completely that ordinary people are forced to build their own infrastructure just to survive it.The Police Chief is promising redirected resources. The City Attorney is pointing to gun seizures and new prosecutorial involvement. Whether any of it amounts to more than a press conference remains to be seen. Seattle has a long track record of theatrical responses to crises its own progressive policies created and then ignored until the cameras showed up.New episode every weekday.

Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom First, residents of North Seattle along Aurora Avenue are on edge, after a recent surge of gun violence in a neighborhood that has been a longtime hotspot for human trafficking. City officials say they’re working urgently to close streets and assign police patrols Next, the latest from the paper mill disaster in Longview, where earlier this week, the names were released of the 11 people who died. The scope of the tragedy has sparked concerns about the lasting impact on this Southwest Washington town. Next, students and families in Bothell have been pushing back against a decision to not renew the contract of a popular school resource officer.

Dr. Burrows founded the group in December 2025. In this conversation, Dr. Burrows shares some of the history of Crown Hill Cemetery and explains the recent origins of the preservation group. Based on letters sent by the City of Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections in December 2025, neighbors are concerned about what appears to be a move by a private developer to build housing on land that used to be part of the 1903 cemetery, and that directly abuts areas containing historic graves.

In this episode, Paul sits down with estate planning attorney Derek Wayne Jensen to demystify what estate planning really involves and why it's far more than drafting a simple will. Derek explains how planning evolves over a lifetime, beginning with young adults choosing beneficiaries, through major life milestones, to complex multi-generational legacy planning. They explore the biggest misconceptions, including the belief that estate planning is "one and done," and discuss why outdated beneficiary designations routinely undermine even the best plans. Derek also highlights triggers that should prompt a review: health scares, major purchases, business exits, new children or grandchildren, and significant increases in wealth. The conversation ends with practical guidance for high earners, business owners, and anyone whose documents are more than five years old. -- About Derek: Derek W. Jensen, JD, LLM, is a tax attorney and the founder of the North Seattle law firm, Jensen Estate Law, to assist individuals and their families with complex issues surrounding federal income tax, state and federal estate tax, estate law, business law, elder law and asset protection. Derek is a trusted advisor, with over 25 years of experience helping clients achieve their estate and tax planning goals. He makes it his priority to listen and mold documents for each unique case that happens upon him, while addressing all concerns his clients may have.

We will be answering questions like "How does a Christian explain Israel?" and "Is replacement theology Biblical?"Since this is such a broad and massive topic of discussion, I will be stopping there only to continue this study in the following episode, which will focus on the debunking of Replacement Theology with Sha'ul's (Paul's) own words. Also I will dive into the true and Biblical definition of the term "Synagogue of Satan", how the Bible is a book of Jewish self-criticism and finally, pointing out the fact that Yeshua The Messiah has NOT REPLACED Israel and that anyone who believes in this lie needs to reevaluate their theology and get right with the Messiah of the Jews! To go against Natural Israel (as opposed to the Israeli government) is to go against Yeshua Himself!To my fellow Gentile pastors; do not wait for another, different Israel to return to its Biblical boundaries that were promised to her over and over again by her God in the very Scriptures you read from, every Sunday morning! The prophecies of ADONAI are being fulfilled in front of your very faces yet your relying on your own wisdom and understanding is causing you to MISS IT.I urge you all to revisit your theology and realize what YeHoVaH ÉLÖHÍM יהוה אלוהים is doing in your midst!

After less than 18 months in office, Councilmember Cathy Moore, representing District 5 (North Seattle), announced she will be resigning her position effective July 7. Swinging into immediate action, Erica and Sandeep (David is away, gamboling and gallivanting in distant parts) weigh in on this emergency episode of the podcast with their red hot takes on this surprise bombshell announcement. While Moore ascribes her decision to step down to personal and medical reasons, speculation is rampant that Moore's dissatisfaction with the job and unhappiness with the harsh criticism the Council sometimes faces also played a central role in her decision. Rest assured, we fully indulge this speculation, while offering our takes on Moore's legacy and assessing where she sat on the Council's ideological spectrum. Given the timing of Moore's decision, her seat will not be up for election until 2026, so we close with what early names we're hearing bruited about for who the Council might appoint to replace Moore until then. Our editor is Quinn Waller.  Thanks to Uncle Ike's pot shop for sponsoring this week's episode!

"Hello? Is it me you're looking for?"In November of 2014, 6-year-old Julia Potter went missing. She was last seen in the care of her father, Jason, who'd had a scheduled visit with Julia that fateful weekend. As police would later learn, Jason had willingly fled from his North Seattle home, having informed his lawyers beforehand that he was "going off the grid."In the years that have passed, rumors have swirled around where Jason and Julia have been. Some theorize that Jason's family and friends, scattered throughout western Washington, have been providing them shelter. Police speculate that the two may have fled to Asia.

Community members greeted kids on their way into Garfield High School in Seattle's Central District, after Mt. Zion Baptist Church, and the organization 100 Black Parents organized a massive show of support. Classes started up again Tuesday morning after a shooting on campus that claimed the life of 17-year old student, Amarr Murphy-Paine.  The shooter, believed to be another high school aged boy, has not been found or identified by Seattle Police.  Monday, a 15-year-old boy pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, among other charges, in the shooting death of a classmate at Ingraham High School in North Seattle in 2022.  In the wake of that shooting, Seattle Public Schools and local elected leaders pledged to step up mental health support for students and improve safety on school campuses and in surrounding neighborhoods. But nearby gun violence has since repeatedly shattered the peace at Garfield, putting the school on lockdown, and now another Seattle student has lost their life at school.   So – what's the answer? How do we protect kids at school –  the place where the LAST thing they should be worried about is dodging gunfire?
