## Resource

Today on the podcast, Jane C. Hu is joined by contributors Ryan Packer and Chase Hutchinson to discuss some of their recent work. The trio discusses the latest from Ryan on Harborview Hospital’s expansion, and how costs have pushed its opening by 3 years. They also talk about the recent death of Maridee Bonadea, a 76-year-old cyclist who was struck in West Seattle, and how we can make Seattle streets safer. Finally, Chase brings the news that Harbor Island Studios has been saved for one more year, but the future is uncertain. Finally, in our Neighbors-only bonus, Sam, Liam, and Jane talk about their weekend plans, which, for some reason, include egging Liam’s house?
