Saturday Special: WA Veterans push for mental health resources, a trans athlete debate in western WA, and finding the right Seattle day camp for children with disabilities

Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom… Travis Decker, a Wenatchee resident and military veteran, is accused of killing his three young daughters outside Wenatchee.  Veterans in the Wenatchee Valley are asking for increased mental health services, to prevent the next tragedy. The small town of Quilcene, tucked away in the Olympic Peninsula, is being divided by national politics.  Quilcene is the first school district in Washington to ban trans athletes - even though there are no trans athletes trying to compete. And for a lot of families, day camps provide critical summer childcare for parents, and a chance for kids to play outdoors and learn new skills.  But for kids with disabilities, welcoming day camps can be hard to find around Seattle.
