Dr. Doom Crashes City Council, Cybercabs Start Test Driving, and the UW Parking Garage Skaters Love

Brett Hamil is back as guest host to explain why a supervillain showed up to give public comment at a Seattle City Council meeting and other recent political theater in the city. He’s joined by contributors Hannah Krieg and Ryan Packer to break down Dr. Doom’s surveillance camera stunt, why the Route 8 bus is now outpacing all but the fastest pedestrians (sprinters), and which Washington cities are out-progressing Seattle on transit. Plus, when did Tesla start test-driving autonomous cabs on Seattle streets? Then, Skate Park Advisory Committee member Tobias Coughlin-Bogue joins to discuss the new Rainier Beach skate park and trace the underground lore of Seattle's skateboarding scene from Red Square to Westlake.
