The Record

Libraries are free to enter, but definitely not free to run. Anti-crime (and anti-privacy) toilets. A photographer with brain cancer who takes photos of the end of life. And hydroplanes hit the lake again.

Can you trust our lake water? We also talk about hackers with good intent, what it means to age in prison, and why sometimes giving up on a project isn't such a bad thing.

The Capital One hack affected 106 million people. How worried should you be? Plus: Why Democratic U.S. House representative Kim Schrier now supports an impeachment inquiry. And, how will you survive in the immediate aftermath of the Big One? And filmmaker Lynne Shelton tells us about the inspiration for her new film, "Sword of Trust."

Guilty flying. WA Democrats jump on the impeachment train. Restaurant workers are in high demand, and the Seattle Times’ chief restaurant critic signs off.

Why can’t great mythology happen right here? The mayor’s comments on a council race stir controversy. How can we prevent anxiety disorders? And guidance on kids and screens.
