Ex-SPD Chief Diaz Fired, Bus Stabbing Sparks Safety Debate, Graffiti Crackdown


Listen Later

This week Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell fired former SPD chief Adrian Diaz following an investigation by the city’s Office of Inspector General. The report found Diaz violated a number of city policies in the course of a workplace relationship that he tried to cover up. We take a closer look at the report, which includes some salacious details and Star Wars references, and talk about the fallout for the city. 

Next, the pod discusses the fatal stabbing of a bus driver in Seattle's University District that's sparking a debate about public safety. Plus, the latest graffiti crackdown.  

Our editor is Quinn Waller.
