This week Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell fired former SPD chief Adrian Diaz following an investigation by the city’s Office of Inspector General. The report found Diaz violated a number of city policies in the course of a workplace relationship that he tried to cover up. We take a closer look at the report, which includes some salacious details and Star Wars references, and talk about the fallout for the city.

Next, the pod discusses the fatal stabbing of a bus driver in Seattle's University District that's sparking a debate about public safety. Plus, the latest graffiti crackdown.
