Tarra Simmons is a lawyer, a civil rights activist, and a national leader in the fight for criminal justice reform.

Raised in Bremerton, she has faced some of the biggest barriers to success and opportunity - from poverty, to opioid use disorder and incarceration. It was with the help of this community - friends, family, colleagues and neighbors - and its resilience - that she was able to overcome these circumstances and become a tireless advocate for change.

Then immediately after, Richard runs to Proper Fish to take up his position in the kitchen, where every dish that he prepares (and it meets with the chef's approval the one and only Harvey Wolff) gets matched in retail value with a donation to Helpline House. This will either be the greatest thing ever or Wake Up Bainbridge! infamy because we are doing it online LIVE!

Wednesday: Deputy Mayor Matt Tirman agrees to field our questions in what should be a really incisive interview.
