This morning, pedestrians laughed at spoof voicemail pretending to be from Amazon's Jeff Bezos that played when pedestrians hit the arrow button to trigger a walk signal at a few intersections in Seattle, including the corner of Fairview and Denny in South Lake Union. There appears to be a coordinated effort by hackers across the country to leave messages poking fun at the ultra-wealthy.

Washington State Senate passed House Bill 1971 to expand access to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The legislation requires medical insurance companies to cover HRT prescriptions for up to a year at a time, rather than limiting patients to just a month’s supply.

Republican lawmakers in Olympia painted themselves as the only adults in the room when it comes to economic policy — railing against taxes on corporations, the wealthy, and even “joy” (namely, ZYN pouches). But when asked to weigh in on Donald Trump’s chaotic trade war, which threatens rural Washington communities, their economic bravado vanished.
