8/20/20244:51

Seattle is a city on the move! 4,000 vehicles comprise the city’s fleet and it’s a huge job to keep it up and running. A group of skilled mechanics is at the heart. Yes, they do all the routine maintenance, but they also fabricate parts, repair dents, and fix complex machinery. And they work on everything from fire engines to utility bucket trucks to giant backhoes. Michael Crowe introduces you to several female mechanics, with decades of experience, who know how to make things go!
