This week…

Seattle Public Schools welcomed students back, but there are concerns about their physical and mental safety.

The New York Times gave its recommendations for spending 36 hours in Seattle, including quite a few stops in the U-District.

And knock knock! campaigns in the tight Public Lands Commissioner race sent people door to door to make sure their ballots counted.

Rachel Belle and Maleeha Syed are here from Cascade PBS to break down the week.
