Guest host C.R. Douglas reviews the week’s news with KUOW online editor Sydney Brownstone, Podcast Editor for American Public Media, and former NPR Northwest Bureau Chief Phyllis Fletcher and Seattle Channel Civic Cocktail's Joni Balter.

This week, Amazon announced that it will be relocating several thousand jobs from Seattle to Bellevue. Is this good news for Seattle? Good news for Bellevue?

Governor Jay Inslee was in Washington D.C. this week. He was testifying before the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee. But how did he get there? Fellow Washingtonian, Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers quizzed him on his carbon footprint. Was she right to call him out for being hypocritical?

And another possible 2020 candidate was in the news this week. Former Vice President Joe Biden has been addressing accusations of inappropriate touching by four separate woman. What can we learn about our cultural moment right now from this story?

Plus, caucusing in Washington state, jail deaths and safe injection sites.
