Could a broken ferry system help fix our cities?
Manage episode 403638026 series 3555189
The Washington State ferry system is down by a third of its fleet. That’s leaving people up and down Puget Sound stranded, intermittently severing them from their jobs, schools and doctors. But out of this crisis, a solution is gaining steam: “mosquito fleets” of smaller, more efficient passenger-only ferries. And they’re helping shape downtowns like Bremerton into more walkable communities.
Plus: Adult dancers in Washington fight for a 'Strippers' Bill of Rights' that could set the standard for workplace protections in their industry.
And can you guess which movies these iconic PNW ferry scenes come from?
"Booming" is a production of KUOW in Seattle, a proud member of the NPR Network.
