NEW YORK — Danny Lin cruised his white sports car down Broadway, the bright lights of Times Square gleaming off his sharply detailed Audi R8. He looped through the tourist hot spot again and again, navigating around Corvettes, Mercedes, Mustangs and BMWs — a parade of high-priced vehicles gathered for a rare photo-op. “I never […]

As […]

Gov. Jay Inslee’s continued lockdown is not giving us transparency on metrics for reopening the state. Even with the so-called “phased approach,” there’s nothing that the public can look for to know whether the next phase is in sight. The governor keeps talking about “data.” The Seattle Times publishes graphs of the daily number of […]

It is a book I have shared over […]

Our feel-good story here of how everybody came together, Democrats and Republicans, to let scientists take the lead in fighting the coronavirus is now starting to give way to some anti-science crackpottery.

Research shows women respond to pandemics much differently than men. Some recent polling suggests this may be widening the gender gap in politics, to the point that the old red versus blue divide is becoming more of a masculine party and a feminine one.

Seattle's Michael Flor, one of the earliest coronavirus patients, was at one point considered so far gone his family bid him their final goodbyes. Yet he was discharged from Swedish Hospital on Tuesday after fighting off COVID-19 for two months, including almost a month on a ventilator, writes Danny Westneat.

In the middle of a pandemic, the subject of the public's health never came up during a 90-minute GOP candidates for governor forum. It's like a metaphor for the alternate realities of our politics — and also why the GOP may be in more trouble than usual in the local elections this year.
