1/ Today I published a story I’ve been wanting to do ever since I landed on the @seattletimes investigative team (@STWatchdog). It’s a bit of an odd one with an interesting backstory, so I ask you to bear with me and read through this *thread*.

🟣 how the levy would differ from existing funding sources
🟣 where $ would go
🟣 timeline of plans

If you could literally rewrite history what would you change? @seattletimes#newsroom would change a lot on how we’d report the 1942 Executive Order 9066 - incarcerating Japanese Americans today. Examined our old A1 page w/ @CPLHouse
