Welcome to the King County Local Dive, a new weekly podcast that highlights headlines from Sound Publishing newspapers throughout Washington state’s largest and most diverse county.
On this week’s episode, we discuss how King County is adapting to a strike by concrete workers; Auburn Police Department reports a dramatic reduction in use of force incidents in 2021 on the heels of police reform legislation; the state’s cannabis stakeholders want cash out of the equation amid a rash of armed robberies; and local leaders celebrate a funding milestone for State Route 18, which is one of the state’s most dangerous highways.
