Brandi steps down from her high horse to give us an update on ballot arsons. Hundreds of ballots fail to arrive at their destination in Eastern Washington. Sounding the alarm on juvenile crime … again. We drop hints about our Halloween costumes. Biden’s “garbage” comment.
A massive budget deficit might just be the best thing that could happen to our state. Should previous support for police defunding be disqualifying? Ninth Circuit says King County can’t interfere with federal deportations. Trump says maybe Canada should become our 51st state, eh?
