Bill Radke reviews the week's news with Erica C. Barnett of the C is for Crank, David Kroman of Crosscut, and freelance writer Hanna Brooks Olsen.

Primary elections were held this week, across Washington State. We dive into some of the results, including Seattle City Council and the Port Commissioner. And we look at how the media talks about candidates leading up to an election.

Plus: The Mercer Mega Block is being sold for a record $143.5 million. What are we about to see happen in South Lake Union?

And the city of Seattle is looking at cracking down on dilapidated RVs that are purchased at auction and resold or rented. We discuss the Seattle City Council's meeting Friday morning.

Also, why a Bellevue-based company agreed to help the online forum 8chan -- and then changed its mind.

Finally: How much is Governor Inslee traveling out of state for his presidential campaign? And how many carbon emissions are you really saving by riding that scooter?
