## Resource

In Tukwila, a class of fourth graders ended the school year with a big, public art show full of mixed emotions. It’s been five years since a record-shattering heat wave hit the Northwest, killing an estimated twelve-hundred people; a look at efforts to make our next heat wave less deadly. And an annual trash pickup event that’s more like a party in Oregon.
