#3 City Inside/Out: The Future of Pioneer Square
As local icon Elliott Bay Books prepares to move to Capitol Hill, we explore the future of the neighborhood it will be leaving behind, Pioneer Square. The City has tried several different approaches over the years, but Seattle`s most historic neighborhood continues to be challenged by vacant storefronts and stalled developments. Often it seems that it more of a place for tourists than locals. On this edition of City Inside/Out we explore the history of Pioneer Square and what can be done to make it a more vibrant part of Seattle. Joining us in the studio are Anne Fennessy, Pioneer Square business owner and resident, Kevin Daniels, President of Nitze-Stagen, Leslie Smith, interim director of the Pioneer Square Community Association and Nancy Yamamoto of the city`s Office of Economic Development who is leading the effort.

#5 Press Conference: Low Snowpack Means Smaller Power Supply
The mild winter the Pacific Northwest is now experiencing thanks to the El Nino weather pattern will have consequences for Seattle City Light and its customers throughout 2010. City Light depends on snowpack to provide the water that powers the hydroelectric dams that produce its low-cost electricity. Snowpack effectively serves as a "battery," storing some of the dams` power source for use in the summer and fall. A warmer- and dryer-than-normal winter means less snow and a smaller supply of electricity throughout the year. City Councilmember Bruce Harrell and City Light Superintendent Jorge Carrasco discuss the issues.
