This week we're not paddling away from the tough news
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray makes it official: He won't run as a write-in for a second term, and wants you to vote for former U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan instead.
Two studies of Seattle's $15 minimum wage experiment find mixed results and spark a political back-and-forth over who to believe.
And an Orcas Island man completes a 750-mile journey from Washington state to Alaska ... on a stand-up paddleboard.
