Shy but tenacious, wolverines have worked their way down from British Columbia and returned to Mt Rainier after a century's absence.

Individual segments are available in our podcast stream or at www.kuow.org/record.

Wolverines return to Mt Rainier

To avid hikers, it must have felt like ages being away from the park while it’s been closed to the public. Wolverines, on the other hand, have been absent for a century. Jocelyn Akins, founder of the Cascades Carnivore Project, is documenting their return.

Museums in Washington can finally open their doors again. KUOW’s Marcie Sillman spoke with Amada Cruz, Director and CEO of the Seattle Art Museum, about how things will change and how they’ll stay the same.
