This week, there’s a special election, with one thing on the ballot: social housing. Microsoft is beefing up their search engine to catch up with Google, and the downtown Regal Theater is just like Schrödinger's cat - it’s either dead, or alive, but we don’t know which.

Needling Editor in Chief Lex Vaughn and KUOW Arts and Culture Reporter Mike Davis are here to break it all down.

The original version of this show incorrectly stated that John Fox was part of the Low Income Housing Institute. Fox is the Director of the Seattle Displacement Coalition. The Low Income Housing Institute supports I-135.
