Bill Radke reviews the week's news with Knute Berger, editor-at-large for Crosscut, Joni Balter, host of Seattle Channel's Civic Cocktail, and Nathalie Graham, staff writer at The Stranger.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Congress was opening an impeachment inquiry this week, after a whistleblower alleged that the President pressured Ukraine to investigate Vice President Joe Biden and his son. What happens next? We ask our panel.

Also, Bartell Drugs announced it's closing its downtown location at 3rd and Union, before the lease is up. The reasons they cited included, "increasing costs of doing business in Seattle and the concern for the safety of our employees and customers."

Plus, the Sounders are letting the Iron Front flag fly again, for the rest of the season. Were they right to change their mind?

And Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan is proposing a tax on Uber and Lyft rides in the city, which would go toward streetcar construction and affordable housing.

Finally: Have you stopped vaping? Are UFOs real? And what are we renaming the University Street light rail station?
