Back to EpisodesIs Seattle a Top Tier City? Plus, the Community Failure of Rainier Beach's Shooting
Description
Today, Jane is joined by contributor Marcus Harrison Green and social media maven Ben Keenan to discuss the somber news that Seattle Police have arrested a 15-year-old suspect in the January shooting deaths of Rainier High School students Tyjon Stewart and Tra'Veiah Houfmuse. The three talk about the shared community failure when a shooting is committed by a 15-year-old and how to invest in our communities in a way that assumes all young people are our shared responsibility. Then, Ben brings a spicy question: Is Seattle a real city? Based on Charles Mudede’s criteria, we’re not. And finally, they each share their weekend recommendations.
