Seattle Now

A new Seattle edition of Monopoly is coming out next year. And right now, the company designing the game is asking locals what to include on the board. If you were to design your own custom, Seattle edition of the game Monopoly, what would you put on it? Maybe Pike Place Market needs to be represented, the Space Needle is obvious. What about Dick's Drive-in? 

KUOW’s Dyer Oxley brought in local comedians Phil Burton and Ellen Acuario to find out their essentials for a Seattle version.

Today, we’re helping you prep for next month’s election with KUOW’s “Soundside.”

Today, we’re helping you prep for next month’s election with a debate from KUOW’s Soundside.

Two candidates are running to represent Seattle’s northern neighborhoods - from Greenwood to Bitter Lake, and Crown Hill to Lake City.

The outcome of this race has big implications for the political balance of City Hall…

And could prove to be the tipping point in continued debates over tax revenue, CCTV cameras, Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan, and the ever-looming issue of the city’s budget deficit.

Soundside is made by Libby Denkmann, David Kroman, Sarah Leibovitz, Hans Anderson, Jason Burrows, Gabrielle Healy, Jed Kim, and Maleeha Syed.
