This week, we’re revisiting some of our favorite segments of the year.
And today, we're talking about transit. And translators.
A now-former King County Metro Bus driver tells us what passengers should know when they ride the bus. But more importantly, we got some insight into why the 8 in downtown Seattle is so often called the late bus.
Plus, we sat down with a Seattle-based translator to discuss her National Book Award-nominated work translating the novel We Computers into English.
She said that translating the poetry and the prose in this book was like running a triathlon.
We're taking a trip with two local women who helped us get from point A to point B in 2025.
