Public Affairs Videos

On the eve of the 2015 legislative session, we hear from Seattle lawmakers as they brace for a difficult budget cycle. The Legislature must answer the Supreme Court's demand to fix the way the state pays for public education. Will they clear the air over competing marijuana markets and pass a statewide transportation package, which stalled in the last session? What about the stuck Bertha tunnel-boring machine? Will political pressure to compromise bring about bipartisan support to resolve some of the biggest issues facing Seattle and the state?
