## Resource

Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is joined by contributors Marcus Harrison Green and Chase Hutchinson. The trio talk about the Seattle Police Department declaring last month to be “homicide free” for the first time in decades. Then they get into how Washington’s superintendent has proposed a mandatory “life skills” class for high school seniors and what they wish we’d all learned before graduating. Plus, updates from Harbor Island Studios, our weekend recommendations, and for our City Cast Seattle Neighbors, a crash course in the beauty of cyberdecks.  Learn more about the sponsors of this July 10th episode: pFriem Beer Grand Central Bakery Want to get in touch?
