Today on the show, Jane is joined by The Urbanist contributing editor and transportation advocate Ryan Packer and contributor Brett Hamil to talk about how tree advocacy is challenging pro-density advocates. Then they talk about the future of light rail in Ballard and West Seattle, and how to be optimistic with all the doom and gloom going around. Finally, they discuss a challenge to the millionaire's tax, a break-in at consignment shop Creature, and the end of Dragon Land. Long live Dragon Land.
