The Record

A conversation between a firearms retailer and a firing range renter about looking for customers who may be suicidal. A debate over a proposal to create a regional governing board to respond to homelessness in King County. And a movie theater that needs a hug.

Criming in space. A senator speaks out about conditions at the border. Curtailed recess. And crows whose cholesterol levels give pause.

Where’d you go, Bernadette’s film crew? (Pittsburgh. The answer is Pittsburgh.) How a for-profit mental health facility is failing local patients. A controversial Republican state lawmaker. Banning anti-fascist signs from the soccer pitch for being “too political.” And: can you eat those wild blackberries after all?

Should domestic violence victims have to pay for repairs to their rentals due to violence (and if not, who will)? What would happen if we removed the Snake River dams? And how are Washington water rights handed out anyway? A look at at an 18-year-old cold case. And a look back at the day the Beatles came to the Coliseum (that’s Key Arena, for you youngsters).

The expansion of life sciences development. Ron and Don speak. How to survive the onslaught of fake news. And what to do if you think you’re at risk of being swatted.
