The Record

Eyal is the author of "Indistractable: How to control your attention and choose your life."

A crushing defeat for the Seahawks. The memoir of an "almost" ballerina. Why does Seattle love breweries so much? And how do they set up all those fireworks on the Space Needle?

If you drive a car, you’ll probably be paying a new kind of tax. The best of the best in books of the 2010s. And an oncologist’s experience with psychedelics.

It’s the end of the year, and Record producers have been revisiting some of our favorite conversations. Mine were about: immigrants.

The Record takes a peak behind the glass and in the drawers at the Burke Museum. Richard Louv wants you to combat loneliness in the wild. Grizzlies might be making be a comeback in the North Cascades after all. And the birds we love and the ones we love to hate.

Bill Radke finds out what happened to the family with the decomposing whale in their backyard. We also hear about who's choosing to compost their dead bodies, and what's happening with the Washington Independents.

Anatomy of a great Christmas song. AI surveillance on a neighborhood street near you. As recently as the 1960s, America was no longer detaining unauthorized immigrants – what changed? And yet another car share program bites the dust.

The prominent librarian comes to the rescue on your holiday gifting needs. Digital mindfulness, and Bob Ferguson’s winning streak.

A tough new federal homelessness czar is in, but recent court rulings say that winds may be blowing away from criminalizing the homeless. This isn’t the first time Seattle’s transit has been a mess. And: a landlord and a tenant advocate face off about the reinstituted first-in-time rental law.

The travel giant undergoes a shakeup. Would (will??) Washington state politicians vote to impeach? And mental health responders alongside police.
