As election week wraps up, Washingtonians are anxiously anticipating what comes next. Seattle-based journalists Harry Cheadle and Guy Oron join interim host Liam Billingham for the latest updates on key races, controversial initiatives, and top election news stories. Then, we cover developments in the RV legislation journey and where City Council members stand on Mayor Wilson’s partial veto. We wrap up with a story on the new food delivery app in town and whether it can compete with big tech giants. If you’re a Neighbor, stick around for a special bonus segment about our favorite things to do in Leavenworth!
